...this principle is true in cases where nature does not enter, how much greater must be its truth when applied to the life of man! In explaining the complexity of this life, with its ever varying outward forms, and its development in countless directions, analysis must always fail; for the analytical and mechanical methods of examining nature of necessity neglect one side, and that the most important, of natural life,-the mental side.

Now let us suppose that one of our human trusts is blockaded, what then is the result? Your physician informs you that you are unwell; that your system is not in order. The fact...
