     all about the accident, and is at play.
   3      When the sick recover by the use of drugs, it is the law
     of a general belief, culminating in individual faith, which
     heals; and according to this faith will the effect

   6  be. Even when you take away the individual
     confidence in the drug, you have not yet divorced the drug
     from the general faith. The chemist, the botanist, the
   9  druggist, the doctor, and the nurse equip the medicine

         Vegetarianism, homoeopathy, and hydropathy have
