The Healing Exercises and Christian Science and even raising the dead, and lengthening life etc. (when successful) are like keeping a man awake over a longer period than usual. You might call it a miracle to keep him up for three, four, or whole twelve hours at night; but remember, you cannot cheat Nature. Nature must exact even with vengeance its withheld portion of sleep the next day, or Nature will soon tax you with early grave and get out of you all the sleep you kept kick.
It is better to let Nature take her own course. Kesist not evil.

5. Waist squeezed and so forth.
