SUPREMELY IMPORTANT

SECTION 1-10 PAGES
THE UNIVERSAL PANACEA
NEITHER IMITATES OR IGNORES: DISTINCTIVE
AND INCLUSIVE OF ALL OTHER BASIC WORKS:
THE OLD BUT NEW PAN-MAN-GOD-LAW-NOW.

Strictly Scientific: Nothing Occult or Omitted: The Acme of Simplicity and Practicality: Essential Knowledge--In Nick of Time: Final and Ready.

--THE GOLDLESS RULE OF LIFE--

This book cannot be fully forecast: The shortest adequate index that can be compiled is the entire work: Like the Bible, it often repeats and extends salient points in varying forms. a complete reference--as with many concordances, would exceed the volume. 'Tis THE UNIVERSAL PANACEA, or complete final constructive science of life. A line of Natural Principle potentially limitless: Void of opinion or missing link--Personal, Social, Economical and Governmental--Globe-wide and Cosmic. The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but The Truth. The result of tireless unbiased reasoning from Cause and Effect of Right and Wrong. Its value cannot be estimated except in many fold extension of Human Pleasure and Life--which it insures. Veritably the climax of justice and uniform benefit--THE ONLY PRINCIPLE THAT CORRECTLY SOLVES EVERY PROBLEM.

WRONGS OF EXISTING METHODS FULLY EXPLAINED AND WHAT IS RIGHT CLEARLY PROCLAIMED. 'TIS THE BOOK OF NATURE ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH EVER BALANCED TO DATE AT ANY TIME OR PLACE. EVER LAW ABIDING--THE TAP ROOT, AND CLEARLY INTELLECTUAL--THE RIPE FRUIT. IT DEMANDS ADMISSION TO EVERY BRAIN AND IS NEVER DENIED--DESPITE YEA OR NAY, PER INVIOLABLE LAW.

THE UNIVERSAL PANACEA OR CURE-ALL
MARKS THE
DEATH OF THE CHRISTIAN ERA
AND
BIRTH OF THE FINAL ERA

EVOLUTION ASKS NO ONE'S CONSENT TO ITS METHOD OF UNITING, PERFECTING AND HARVESTING THE RACE: THE PROCESS AND RANGE OF NATURAL VOLUTION CLEARLY EXPLAINED.

THE MILLENNIUM--COMPLETE SATSIFACTION OF FULL MATURITY AND WELCOME DOOM. THE BIRTH, YOUTH, TRIALS, FINAL SPLENDOR AND ETERNAL REST OF NATURE'S BEST; AS AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN EVERYWHERE FOREVER AND EVER.

EVERY CONCLUSION REACHED BY MATHEMATICAL REASONING FROM PROVEN ABSOLUTE BASIS. EVERY STATEMENT OF THE FOREGOING AND FOLLOWING WILL BE FULLY INDORSED BY EVERY NORMAL READER OF THE COMPLETE WORK, REGARDLESS OF FORMER CONVICTIONS: THE TREATISE IS NO MORE "MERELY THE OPINION OF THE WRITER" THAN OF THE READER; SCIENCE BEING PERSONAL-OPINIONLESS.

excerpt from:

METERO-ENERGY OR ACTIO-MATERIA

"The" Cosmos is a flawless chemical or ACTIO-MATERIA mechanism of immeasurable LIFE--ACTION, knowing nothing of DEATH or REST, nor loss or gain at any place or time. The growth and decay of finites--ephemeral THINGS, constitute the very life's blood of "the" infinite or eternal NON-THING: 'Tis like the tire at the opposite points from the hub of a whirling wheel, it must travel precisely in opposite directions at the same time in order to feed itself. Thus an exact equilibrium of the infinite is everlastingly maintained by an ever precisely equal birth and death of finites.

Yet there can never be two or more things or beings exactly alike; for the reason--based upon The Law of Impenetrability, it is impossible for more than one body to occupy the same place at the same time, ever forcing each into at least a trifle different environment, to which they must exactly conform; even individuals ever undergoing change therefrom.

The basic substance of COSMOS we will call--ETHER; in regard to which--as we shall see, there is nothing better known; for indeed, ALL IS ETHER--in greatly varied states of manifestation: The name, however, is of no consequence, for the facts we are seeking would remain the same regardless of name or our opinion. Anyhow, we will say that the prime, basic or mother element is an absolute solid homogeneity; that is to say, consisting throughout precisely the same--without interstices or pores--non-contiguous. This we will say--whatever it may be, is the all-inclusive building material of "The" Universe: Monism--tracing "ALL" TO ONE-SUBSTANCE--called "THE ETHER" in Science, being fully established.

Now then, owing to its inherent nature, this--in TIME AND SPACE, beginningless and endless substance--ever being in a state of intense activity--ALIVE, continually causes tremendous pull, push and commotional strain here and there--MAINLY IN SUNS, which creates an infinity in number of very minute whirling vortices--similar in principle to rings of smoke or whirlpools in air and water, EACH EVER REMAINING COMPLETELY SUBMERGED IN THE FRICTIONLESS MOTHER ELEMENT: The --?, being born of ether, when "destroyed"--by DISCORD, dissolve into the "parent" substance.

These ACTIVE specks of "BOUND ETHER" we will call IONS--"ELECTRONS" being a misleading name, or--THE UNITS of which science truly declares that the wonderful objective panorama of Nature--all observable THINGS from THE ETHER in its prime state up, is composed.

Similar size and whirl of IONS--per influence of affinity for their kind, form into definite families called ATOMS--"the elements of chemistry," and the smallest organisms of the organic or heterogeneous kingdom--about 90 in number now being positively known. These atoms--each composed of many ions--swinging about a mutual center in various orbits--as the planets of all solar systems do, EVER CREATE BY THEIR TREMENDOUS PULL FROM A COMMON HUB, THE TENDENCY OF AN ABSOLUTE VACUUM; WHICH IN TURN CAUSE A CORRESPONDING CENTRIPETAL FLOW OF ETHER, AND A LIKE MIGHTY COMMOTION AT THE PIT--CREATIVE OF IONS, AND OF THEIR SEETHING AGGREGATE COMBINATIONS, THE EXTREMELY ACTIVE OR LUMINOUS BODY WHICH WE CALL THE SUN--WHETHER CONSTITUTING "THE HUB" OF A FAMILY OF IONS OR PLANETS: Such being a new and correct explanation; for Nature never does "the same thing" in two or more ways--regardless of proportions.

The inflowing of "pressure" of ether--CALLED GRAVITY--also heretofore unexplained, not only hold the "chicks" in place and regulate their orbits but CAUSE THE SUN TO GROW; while the titanic convulsions at the pit or of THE SUN--thus created and maintained, cast IONS out in space continually feeding and causing the IONS, PLANETS OR "CHICKS" TO GROW in size, and their distance apart--also resulting therefrom, to increase; till finally they interfere with neighboring similar organization, when the weaker system breaks up and collides--reducing the UNITS to nebula and THE ETHER. Then again and again, ETERNALLY growth and decay--volution or involution, holds sway, per inherent CAUSE AND EFFECT OF ACTIO-MATERIA--COSMOS: The Facts at Last. Every organism--from IONS up, has a constant in-flow of ether, and each are likewise RADIO-ACTIVE--ever at once growing and decaying.

conclusion to:

CAPACITY OF MAN: RANGE OF EVOLUTION

MAN ALREADY KNOWS ALL, HAPHAZARDLY DISTRIBUTED. ALL THAT'S NEEDED IS, TO COMPILE AND ENDOW EACH WITH BASIC PRINCIPLE; AND PRESTO-CHANGE FROM DISCORD TO HARMONY. SALVATION IS COMPLETELY DEFINED BY THE CONDITION EXPRESSED WITH ONE WORD-- HEALTH, EVEN UNTO OMNISCIENCE.

FREEDOM FROM LIBERTY

CLASS-CONSCIOUSNESS, NEED, VICE, DISCORD,
DISEASE AND PREMATURE DEATH
--THE--
UNIFORM EDUCATIONAL IMPELLING COMPLETE HUMAN LIFE
PSYCHO---PHYSICAL---HEALTH
LIBERTY falsely acclaimed as FREEDOM
NATURAL ANARCHY IS IMPOSSIBLE
--MAN'S GRAVE SLIP--

excerpts from:

WHO IS SANE AND HOW MUCH?

Don't you think that "FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE"--with nearly every person ENSLAVED by an unthinkably intricate army of warring preachers and other promoters, continually driving the hideous bribe and threat to the very marrow of hundreds of millions of half or fully crazed brains, is the most stupendous mistake one can possibly imagine? Should such an almighty power for universally early and awful death be allowed? Should the people be permitted to remain in "blissful ignorance" of such dire consequences, when there is no question but what they would "go mad with joy," were the truth educationally forced upon them? Should not every thoughtful person and especially THE GOVERNMENT, lend every effort to quickly end all such murderous and suicidal processes? Why, if thus undertaken--as by all means it should be, the hellish nightmare could be potentially wiped out--the world over, in one day. The facility for reaching the world of people--by telegraph and newspapers, is now practically instantaneous. Every pulpit should be closed or their occupants compelled to explain the mighty error--AT ONCE. Holy fright and delight kill many times more than armies that fright.

BASIS OF THE FINAL ERA OR WORLD CONSTITUTION.
SELF-SATISFACTION being the all-inclusive or FIRST LAW OF NATURE and SELF-PRESERVATION its highest expression; therefore--being INFINITELY SELFISH, when duly realizing that man is an unerring product and reflex--a veritable SLAVE of immediate and stored ENVIRONMENT--of which humanity is the principle factor, each would eagerly lend every possible effort to purify the source, that SELF may be perfected and live long in the land. Thus, INTELLIGENT SELFISHNESS would insure a literal fulfillment of The Goldless Rule--IT IS TO THE WELFARE OF SELF TO TREAT ALL OTHERS WITH HEALTHFUL CARE: IF THIS BE UNTRUE THEN ERROR IS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Some tell us that sickness is all mental, others that it is all physical, and others that it's sort of a cock-tail; even many piously affirm that sickness and death is a fake--for there's nothing to get sick or die--which is just now the most successful sucker trap. The stern fact is, the more ridiculous an idea is, the better bait it makes: EVER ADDITION INSTEAD OF ELIMINATION OF PSYCHO-PHYSICAL POISON.

Now these wonderful truths are not stated to be merely laughed at, but for serious consideration in connection with the stupendous problem under discussion.

Many thanks to David Hauptschein for lending us this amazing book.
