Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Natural Healing I claim only to have cast off these irksome bonds which hamper so many conscientious workers in the great field of alleviating human suffering and pain, arid by so doing to have used the truth and discarded the dross. I have ever aimed to get back close to Nature - to use her methods and to give unquestioning obedience to her laws. That is why my system of natural healing, as I have always preferred to call it, has proved itself so efficacious as it has. It is Nature's own way and therefore is not a man-made system at all, not the creation of my brain or any other man's, but simply a right system of doing Nature's own bidding. I have formed and co-ordinated the plan of healing and made it available, but I could no more have created it than I could create the universe.
