88 Temperance
refuse all narcotics,—tea, coffee, fermented wines, and stimulants [89]
of all kinds,—and to discard the flesh of dead animals.—Manuscript
44, 1896.
For the Most Effective Work—The question of health reform
is not agitated as it must and will be. A simple diet, and the entire
absence of drugs, leaving nature free to recuperate the wasted ener-
gies of the body, would make our sanitariums far more effectual in
restoring the sick to health.—Letter 73a, 1896 .
Teach the Patients How to Co-operate With God—The peo-
ple must be educated to understand that it is a sin to destroy their
physical, mental, and spiritual energies, and they must understand
how to co-operate with God in their own restoration. Through faith
in Christ they can overcome the habit of using health-destroying
stimulants and narcotics.—Manuscript 12, 1900. [90]
