Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Health and Its Conditions
Not so very long, I think. Because already all other voices begin to hush themselves and listen. The world listens: not because it may seem in different, is indifference ih its heart. Amid the tur moil of its business and its strifes, anyone who notes it with an eye not too self-engrossed for sympathy, sees that the world listens. It stands expectant, and its eyes are fixed on science. We have waited long, have believed often, have often been deceived, but we have one hope yet left, 0 men of science, it says, and that is in you. For knowledge we have asked as for bread, and many have given us stones; for solid facts to build our life upon, and many dreamers have beguiled us with their visions. O searchers out of all things, is it for you that we have waited?
