But for this Remedy, I would as leave think of taking up this ponderous task as flaying myself alive. Without knowledge of this Remedy, I might have accepted the present situation as an inevitable calamity for which there was no help and, like many others, rested secure and complacent in the belief that conditions were the result of an inscrutable Providence. Now I know the Remedy has been close by all the time, but its true value to humanity has never been given serious consideration.

My inquiries and reasoning on this subject led me into other byways, and in meandering through them I discovered many a new marvel promised by the universal application of this remedy--marvels that are simply dazzling in their splendor. It is such discoveries that have helped to put backbone into my zest for this often heart-breaking, thankless work. I am now convinced that the whole of society will be benefitted by this remedy.

The Remedy? What Is It?

It has been a gift of God to the Universe, to all mankind, since before Eternity. It has been used by every living being, both human and animal--perhaps by plants, too--since as far back as man can trace. It has been employed by savages everywhere, by our American Indians, to their credit, and to our discredit. The deaf vaguely appreciate its true value; they use it almost exclusively among themselves, but they seem to have overlooked its greater worth if used also by everybody else.

We all are using it to a limited extent. The only trouble is that we never thought of profiting ourselves of it thoroughly enough. We are using it only by dabs and dribbles. My proposition is that we shall, henceforth, take it in wholesale, wholesome doses.

Before proceeding with an explanation of the Remedy, let me first diagnose the ailments we are suffering from, in order to make known how best to apply with intelligence this blessed cure.
