[ 25 J Men drop down dead if they come in contacř with a piece of electrified wire : what is the reason ? It is because lhe elechricity of the body is overflooded. as if were, by the greater power of the electricity outside. Again, men are said to die of heart-failure. Such heartfailure is nothing but the gradual enfeeblement and final extinction of the electricity within through disease, excess or inconiinence. And I hold ihal man's life could be definilely prolonged if the scientists of the day could collect the subtle electricily of space and transmii il lo ihe human body when the electric energy within was about to fail. li has now been ascerlained whai life is, and consequently if will not be very difficuli io discover how life can be maintained and preserved. When man is in the last stages of existence, physicians seek to lengthen out his life by the artificial use of oxygen. But I hold that the mere use of oxygen is unable lo serve this purpose ; for life is constituted. not by oxygen alone but by the subile particles of such gases as oxgen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon all held łogether by the solar force which is immanent in the body in all its integrity and entirely. These gaseous parlicles Bre disintegraled when the solar force is drained away from the body; and death is the consequence. Just as no article can be prepared from metals like gold, silver or iron
