One with- Temperament coarse will generally like things rather coarse, and everything in work would like it of a course and substantial nature; would be adapted to work at freight cars, mould- ings, wagons, and the rougher farm work, rough stone work, etc., and is not adapted to do fine nice work, or that which is nice and beautiful in work, arts or learning. When a person has a tempera- ment that is fine grained their body and brain will be adapted to do fine nice work and that which is smooth polished and varnished. They are adapted to build passenger cars and nice ma- chinery, and work at the fine arts, if the brain is of proper shape, and will like cleanliness, refine- ment, taste, etc., and are adapted to become fine scholars and have nicer and finer wa^s in society and company. It gives a person a finer voice than the coarse temperament would if it was the same person that would have it. When the tempera- ment is fine they will be more sensitive and keen and of a poetic and literary taste; the feelings are more easily hurt, excited and stirred up, and hates that which is low, coarse and filthy. Persons that are very fine grained are liable to be too nice, fan- ciful, high-toned and polished with customs and fashions if they do not use good judgment, good morals, common sense and industry. The fine grained temperament can do coarse work if it had to, bat it will not be well satisfied or succeed well; bat a person with the coarse grained temperament cannot do fine nice work; just like fine razor steel could be made into plow points and do plowing, if it had to be so, but it would not be as well adapt- ed for to plow as it would to shave, but the coarse plow point metal would not do for razors. The deer, sheep and rabbit have a fine organized body and brain and see how much finer and nicer their meat is and how much nicer their movements, ways and actions are, and how much cleaner they are than the course grizzly bear, also of other liv- ing beings the same way, See how much finer and neater the deer and rabbit looks than the coarse bear. A person with a coarse temperament their flesh will look coarse and be coarse like coarse sand or coarse flesh or meat, which will be found strongly developed in some Germans or Belgians and other foreign people. Persons with a tem- perament fine grained their body and brain will appear like fine sand or fine meat, like the rabbit and deer, and they will look as if they were of fine quality and material. Figure 1 is very course. Figure 3 is middling course. Figure 5 is neither coarse nor fine. Figure 6 is middling fine. Figure 7 is fine. Figure 8 is fine quality. Figure 9 is of finer quality. Figure 10 is the very finest and highest quality. Women as a rule have a finer grained tempera- ment than men. The people of the United Slates generally have a fine temperament. The fine grained temperament and the brain and nerve temperament generally go together; and the lym- phatie, and the coarse grained temperament gen ally go together. Persons with a tine grained temperament that are well trained in morality, in- dustry, usefulness, neatness and cleanliness will make rough and dirty places and things look smooth, clean, nice, polished and often beautiful. It will take rough stone, timber, ores, etc., and build grand, neat and beautiful machinery, hous- es, cars, steamboats and many other nice and beautiful things out of them. Persons with the coarse grained temperament should always be cleanly about washing, baking, cooking and pre- paring any kind of food or drinks, and do not be filthy in your dress but be as clean as possible in all necessary places, then if you cannot enjoy things that are nice, grand, beautiful, polished and ornamental, very well, but leave other people en- joy things that are nice, beautiful, good and useful and do not think they are foolish or proud, pro- viding they use good morality and judgement. God made a great many things nice, beautiful and grand, and why not enjoy them when we can. What is meant by these two temperaments is that your flesh, bones, muscles, and brain or all the body and brain is made up of either coarse or fine grained flesh, muscles, bones and blood, as you see some goods are of finer, nicer and better qual- ity than other goods. Cast iron or metal is coarser than razor steel, and the humming bird and other birds have finer feathers and all parts of the body is made up of fine material and has nice move- ments, where the turkey, goose and coarse grizzly bear is of a coarse nature. A person with a coarse grained temperament, or the body and brain is coarse grained or of coarse grain in flesh, muscle, bone, blood and brain they will be rough and coarse in ways and manners; will not care for cleanliness, neatness or taste, and will dislike the things that are nice and beautiful. If they have not very much ideality and do not use good judg- ment they will not be able to place the proper val- ue upon things that are nice and finished. Figure 1 means the very coarsest tempera- ment. Any person with this temperament will be only adapted to the very coarsest and rough- est kind of work and if not careful their habits will be rough, dirty and filthy and will think the things that are beautiful and nic<- are of no benefit and should not think people foolish and proud who use them. If they use good, moral, intelligent judgment, form good habits, clean- liness, and live healthy, good and wise it will improve them greatly. No 3 is a little finer temperament than No. 1. Anyone with this temperament is belter adapted to manual labor than to study, and should avoid drinking, smoking and low company. No 5 is of the average temperament. Persons thus developed are plain in their taste?, practi- cal in their views, and want things of a substan- tial and good character, such as you meet in every- dav life. No. 8 is of a fine quality. Persons possessing this quality of temperament are finely and delicately organized : are susceptible and sensi- tive, refined in their tastes and pleasures, and like what is nice and beautiful. Figure 10 i- the very highest quality. The person possessing this quality will enjoy in a very high degree that which is nice, ornamen- tal and refined and cleanly, and with a proper shaped brain can become very good scholars in the highest studies, and will have fine high lit- erarv and poetic tastes ; will he sensitive and easily affected and will be one of the very best to take rough materials such as ores, coarse metals, timbers, etc., and make them into nice and beautiful things and can take things that are dirty and filthy and make them look nice and clean, especially if they are industrious, but should be well directed and cultivated or you may be too tony, silly or fussy about things and ways, especially if you have not the time or can- not afford them. But first of all be good, use- ful, cleanly and sensible. SANGUINE TEMPERAMENT. This temperament has richer blood, larger heart, lungs, chest and shoulders. Where this tempera- ment is healthy, strong and largely developed in persons they will have plenty of pure, rich blood, large heart, lungs, chest and shoulders, with an active circulation. The pulse beats 75 to 85 times per minute, with a moderate amount of flesh, gen- erally red skin and faces and often sandy or red beard or hair and generally a rather short beard, often light or blue eyes, rather small around the waist, generally a rather weak digestion, but what food you do digest is made into good, rich blood by the good circulation and breathing power, which helps your digestion a great deal. This tempera- ment lives more by fresh air, according to its size, than any other, and will, as a rule, stand exposure well, and is better adapted to out-door, lively, ac- tive, stirring and medium heavy work. A person with this temperament that measures 5 feet, 7 or 8 inches -will usually weigh 125 to 150 pounds, one 6 feet in height will generally weigh 160 to 180 pounds. Excitability is generally the great- est in this temperament. In disposition this tern- 8 perarnent is generally passionate, flashy, excitable, impulsive and what they have to say they often say rapidly and are liable to work too rapidly when stirred up and then give out too soon to stand hard, patient and long continued study or work. This temperament is the reverse of the Lymphatic temperament. A person with the san- guine temperament must be careful to think twice before they act or speak, also watch and know when and where to speak, also learn how to do your work well and as fast as possible without in- juring your health of body or mind. Take this temperament combined with the Motive tempera- ment, and it does very well, as the motive is adapted to rather slow, heavy, muscular and long continued labor. Then combined with the san- guine a person will be able to do heavy, muscular, long continued work and keep the work moving comparatively fast without being too excitable or in too much of a hurry to do things generally, and work too fast, to do it well and hold out on a long pull, or long continued work. The brain and nerve temperament properly combined with the sanguine and motive makes a person excitable, stirring, with power and strength, endurance, har- diness, springiness, with great activity, with keen- ness of mind and body, with good judgement if well cultivated and directed President Garfield had the sanguine temperament largely and strong- ly developed, bul well cultivated, trained, directed and combined with the oilier temperaments. The brain and nerve temperament combined with the sanguine gives the greatest activity, livliest, the most stilling and the most, zealousoi' any two tem- peraments that can be combined. The sanguine temperament is generally strongly developed in the Irish. As I have described the sanguine tem- perament means without any of the other temper- aments combined. We could not live with only- one temperament as each temperament has certain places and its work to perform and is good in its place just like the brain. One organ"of the brain cannot do all the brain work, but one organ has certain kinds of work to do, and another organ has its part of the brain work to do. The sanguine temperament helps stir up all of the other temper- aments. It excites and fires up the other temper- aments of people but they should be careful and not be excited and fired up into doing sinful or wrong acts or to attend bad places, but do good and useful things and use as good judgment as possible. The shoulders and chest in the san- guine will be rather flat and broad and in the vital the chest is more thick, or deep, or more round, full and plump generally. People with a sanguine temperament usually have rather slim red faces Sanguine and vital temperaments are the most easily excited, impulsive and flashy and such should never leave themselves run wild and reckless and do and say things that are sinful, but be at things that are good and useful and mean everything for the best, then if they get excited and talk and act in a very excited way people do not get harmed. Persons should not get angry with such people, but just wait until they are over their excitement, and then in their calm moments is when you get their best thoughts and actions. THE VITAL TEMPERAMENT. The Vital Temperament is characterized by being round, plump, heavy set, fleshy, only of average 10 height generally, with a large amount of blood, with all the internal organs well developed and healthy which means the heart, lungs, liver, kid- neys, stomach and bowels; also good circulation with active pores and skin. The vital maufactures a great amount of nourishment for to build up the body; generally has pretty solid flesh, is vigorous and hearty, also throws off the impurities and worn out material of the body very rapidly. The pulse beats 70 to 80 times a minute. This temperament has seldom got as strong and tough arteries and veins as the other temperaments and is liable to have some of the blood vessels rup- tured or bursted during excitement, or a busy time or when in a great hurry, and cause sudden death. The heart, too, is often unable to circu- late the large amount of blood in time of excite- ment or hurry This would not be a disease as the blood vessels and heart are healthy enough, but not strong, tough and large enough for the large amount of blood to be circulated freely so the blood vessel or heart must fail. The Vital is more liable to fevers, inflammation and smothering spells than any other diseases when all things are equal. To avoid the troubles of the heart, veins and arteries use do pork, tobacco or liquors; do not eat food for supper that is hard to digest, and do not go to bed soon after supper. If a person with vital temperament gets the nightmare they may never recover, especially if the heart and arteries and veins are weak. The vital tem- perament is well developed in a great many of the German people. When a strong vital is combined with a strong brain and nerve temperament and a proper shaped brain, such make our very best bus- iness people. Such will l»e quick ami clear in 11 mind, far seeing, shrewd and skillful when well trained, directed and cultivated Persons with strong vital, brain and nerve temperaments com- bined if they shouid get fevers they will be very apt to be high fevers of the body and brain and get very wild and crazy and dangerously sick, but they generally recover from fevers and gain very rapidly in strength of body and brain if properly treated The vital temperament has more blood than the sanguine, and better nourished, because it has better digestive powers to digest more food, to nourish the blood and make more flesh. But the blood of the vital is not of such a red rich col- or as that of the sanguine. The sanguine temper- ament gives more of a red color to the face and body and not so much flesh as the vital. The vi- tal is generally fond of a good living and having plenty to eat and drink. They want to guard strongly against intoxicating drinks. Just be- cause they want to satisfy their appetites they must not indulge in liquors. Use plenty of good, healthy, nourishing foods and drinks, but not enough to injure your health, and then enjoy them all you can by taking plenty of time to eat with a good contented mind Then you must look for a combination of tem- peraments. Some people will have about an equal balance of all the temperaments. If all the tem- peraments are large, healthy and well trained then they will be strong in body and mind and will have the signs of all the temperaments marked; such as muscles, flesh, blood, bones, brains and nerves and internal organs. Now, when you see a person with some of the signs which I have described that are stronger than some of the other signs, then you may know that some of the temperaments are 12 stronger than others. For an illustration: When you see a person with the signs of the motive temperament and the brain and nerve tempera- ments the strongest then you may know that the motive temperament and the brain and nerve tem- peraments are the strongest. Then when you see another person that has a round, full, plump body, heavy set with plenty of blood, is hearty and ro- bust, has a large brain and good nerves then you may know that the vital, brain and nerve temper- aments are the strongest. Reader, remember that the brain and nerve temperaments belong to the brain and nerves. The coarse and fine grained temperament belongs to the brain and body, and all of the other temperaments belong just to the body. THE MOTIVE TEMPERAMENT. When this temperament is healthy, strongly and largely developed, will have large bones with solid muscles, very little flesh but solid, raw boned, have rough features, often have large shoulders with only an average-sized waist, frequently have coarse dark hair and strong coarse voice; are adapted to slow, heavy, muscular, every-day work, such as heavy farm work if on a farm; if a- mechanic, build- ing ships, barns, bridges, heavy stone work, loco- mot ivcs, in large and heavy iron works, moulding, etc. Wherever there is very heavy muscular and long continued work to be done you must have a person with a healthy, strong motive tempera- incut, which means a large, bony, muscular frame. This temperament, \\ hen strong, is the most liable to have biliousness, bilious fevers, headache, aches ami pains, rheumatism and liver complaint. I 13 mean if a person with this temperament gets dis- eases it is very liable to be the diseases named if all things are equal. The bones and musles and very little flesh is all that belongs to this temper- ament. "We could not live with just this tempera- ment or with just bones and solid muscles, but we must have some of this temperament if we want to walk, exercise, run or walk. We would be per- fectly limber and helpless if we had not any of the motive temperament. We cannot live with just one internal organ of the body. We cannot live with just a stomach, we must have lungs, heart, liver, etc., with the stomach, so that is the way with the temperaments We cannot live with only one temperament, but need different tempera- ments combined, and each one has its place and kind of work to do. As the stomach has its work to do the heart and the lungs in the same way have theirs to do. Now, reader, if your motive temperament is small do not undertake to do heavy lifting, hard, long continued, heavy muscu- lar labor. Where the motive temperament is the strongest and largest, the liver will generally be the largest internal organ of the body. Where the motive is a great deal larger than any of the oth- er temperaments in a person they will like plenty of the solid kinds of food, such, as meat, corn, beans, bread, etc., and not very much fruit, vegetables and nick-nacks in cooking. If the temperaments are nearly equally combined you will generally like different kinds of food. Then it must be remem- bered that different kinds of labor calls for differ- ent kinds of food as well as different kinds of tem- peraments do. Also habit often has a good bit to do with food and drink. 14 THE BEAIN AND NERVE TEMPERAMENT. The brain and nerves are all that belongs to this temperament. Persons with this temperament largely, strongly and healthily developed will have a healthy, large brain and nerves, and will be keen and quick in body and mind, and would make good scholars if cultivated in the proper directions as to what is best adapted to their brain and body. It gives us great activity and power of mind to think, act, plan and observe business; also ways of people and many other things. This tempera- ment gives us our statesmen, lawyers, scholars, philosophers, presidents, governers, farmers, me- chanics, business men, orators; teachers and our learned and intelligent people. We could not live without some of this temperament and we could not live with just this temperament The tem- peraments must be combined to live and to do well, and I think that very little of the lym- phatic temperament is needed. Some persons have the brain and nerve temperament healthier, stronger and larger developed in the brain than in the nerves. Then other people have more of the brain and nerve temperament healthier and stronger developed in the nerves. Then there are other people that are about equally developed in the brain and nerves. When persons have more of this temperament in the brain they will be bet- ter adapted to do hard deep brain work. To be in the office planning, studying, arranging and overseeing and doing the writing, keeping the books, etc., rather than to be a clerk or salesman and stirring in an active way with body, doing mosl of the active, springy, quick movements of work, Take a person with more of this tem- perament in the nerves they can move more 15 rapidly and quick with their body. A person with more of this temperament in the nerves will be more adapted to do active, quick, springy, speedy movements in work, such as teaching school, also in business they are better adapted to be clerks," active salesmen or cash boys, and not so well adapted to quiet, hard, deep study, or sitting in the office or room studying deep philosophy, or writing up books, or doing quiet or commanding brain work. Where a person has the brain and nerve temperament di- vided evenly in the nerves and brain he will do as well in active and quick movements as in studying books and doing brain work. If the person is large and healthful in brain and nerves he will be active and strong in the nerves to do active work and can do hard, deep brain work. If a person is small in both brain and nerves they will be poor and weak in studying and un- derstanding things, will not be active and stir- ring. If the person is fleshy and large he can not move so rapidly as a per sod who is not so fleshy and large The nerves are only branches of the brain — just like trees. Some trees have large bodies and small branches, and other trees have small bodies and large branches. So that is the way with the brain and nerve tempera- ment. Take the full blooded rat terrier dog. They have the brain and nerve temperament strongly developed ; figure 6 in brain and figure 10 in the nerves, with motive 4 and vital 3. See how quick in mind they are in understanding thirgs that they are adapted to Then with plenty of strong nerves see how active, quick and speedy they are in catching rats. See how quick, keen and wide awake thev are in their minds. 16 President Garfield had a very large and strong brain and nerve temperament. He had this temperament figure 10, or very large in brain, and figure 8 or 9 in the nerves ; consequently he was active, quick and springy in body. He bad but little of the lymphatic temperament; so there was no sluggishness in Garfield. Being very large, or figure 10, in the brain he was very active and great in mind or brain power. He had the sanguine temperament classed at figure 9, the motive at figure 8 and the vital at figure 7, consequently he was very active and powerful in body and mind. His brain measured 24 inches in circumference, while the brains of other Presidents measured from 22 to 23 inches in circumference. The diseases which a person is more liable toe ntract with this than with the other temperaments, will be nervous headache, weak nerves, neuralgia, nervousness and a peev- ish, irritable, restless mind and often have such deranged nerves they are troubled with sleep- lessness which causes them to worry and fret and are liable to brain fever. If such people be- come nervous and cannot sleep they should take a good bath with tepid or medium warm water in a temperate or warm room. Put a lit- tle ammonia in the water or add >} pint of salt to a gallon of water. Take the bath before go- ing to bed and with a coarse towel rub the skin as brisk as possible to make the nerves and skin healthy, also to cause a good circulation. If the skin is too tender for a coarse towel take your hands or a smooth cloth and rub the bodyrapid- lv and vigorously from 15 to 30 minutes or more, ae you see best. Simply rubbing the body is very good, especially if you have been batning 17 once a week or more, to keep the pores open. LYMPHATIC TEMPERAMENT. Lymphatic Temperament is so called because it has a set a vessels and tubes that secrete and circulate a clear watery fluid called lymph, with some nourishment in it. The lymphatic tubes look nearly like the veins and arteries in a good many way&. It manufactures, secretes and cir- culates lymph from nearly all parts of the body and brain, and carries it to and empties it into the blood near the heart. We need some lymph for the body, but too much makes the blood weak and watery and then the body and brain will be weaker, duller and slower. This tem- perament when strongly developed gives a full- ness, roundness, paleness, weakness and soft- ness of body and brain, especially when it is larger and stronger than the other tempera- ments. The digestive organs are generally stronger than any other part of the bodv and usually the heaviest and largest about the waist. We should only have one-fourth to one- third as much of the lymphatic temperament as any of the other temperaments in size and strength if we want to be strong and indus- trious, that is according to size and strength of brain and body. Diseases liable to this tem- perament are inflammation of the lymphatic glands, vessels and tubes, which is dangerous if not properly treated ; then the lymphatic tem- perament is liable to chronic diseases, when the lymphatic- vessels get sluggish and dull, and se- crete and circulate a thick fluid of a phlegm nature and it makes the blood of a poor quali- ty. Then you have a phlegmatic temperament 18 which gives a person loose, soft, flabby and pale flesh; is weak, dull, sluggish, sleepy and lazy, and the body and brain is of a dropsical na- ture. Remember that disease and temperament are quite different. The lymphatic tempera- ment causes the other temperaments to act more slowly, calm and cool, especially in time of excitement or action, and is generally only moderately developed in the American and Irish people, but largely developed in some of the German, English, Holland, and Belgium peo- ple. The vital temperament is quite different from the lymphatic. The vital works up every thing well that is fit for the body and brain into nourishment and blood to make a vigorous, ro- bust, hearty, lively brain and body. Persons with the lymphatic temperament should bathe often and rub the whole body vigorously and rapidly to keep the skin and pores healthy and clean. When you rub the body briskly it pro- duces a strong current of electricity or nervous current, which warms up and electrifies the whole body, and also produces sweating Take good care of your kidneys and keep them strong by exercising freely and do not use much of a weak watery diet, but a solid, nutritious diet. All these directions are of great value to the lymphatic temperament. Beer is about the most injurious beverage that can be used to create a coarse, bloated lymphat- ic temperament. F>«t pork makes people more fat and oily like, in both body and brain, and causes more of a coarse grained temperament. If directions for the fine grained and brain and nerve temperaments were followed it would improve persons with ;i lymphatic temperament. 19 "We should cultivate the fine grained and brain and nerve temperaments continually and raise them if possible to figure 10, which is the highest standard, and keep them there by avoiding foods that are filthy, drinks that will intoxicate, and to- bacco. It would be best to use no pork, our meat diet should be beef, mutton, fowls and wild game, but mostly vegetables, fish, fruits, eggs and grain foods. Breath plenty of fresh air, have plenty of work or exercise, and bathe freely. Continually cultivate the brain by keeping your mind employed at things that are good and useful and will keep you contented and cheerful, such as religion, mor- ality, music, literature, machinery, science, busi- ness, cleanly and sensible housekeeping, farming, etc. Some persons have a brain and body that is better adapted to study and learn and work at some of the trades and professions than at oth- ers, but each should select that which they are best adapted to and that will make them better and wiser. Persons must have a good develop- ment of the brain and nerve temperament to be expert at any particular work, study, trade or pro- fession. Then they need some of the other temper- aments to give them good, healthy, active bodies. Any nation or race of people that has little of the fine grained temperament and brain and nerve tem- perament cannot be a great nation or race in learning, improvement and wealth, and cannot have great and good influence over the world, even if they had good chances, but could be greatly im- proved by being well taught and cultivated and in a few generations might be brought up to a me- dium high standard. God has given man a finer grained temperament and more of the brain and nerve temperament than any other living being, 20 and He meant for us to take care of these temper- aments and did not make a mistake by giving man a fine grained temperament or too much of the brain and nerve temperaments, but He meant us to use it for good purposes; and if we keep these two temperaments in good condition and properly regulated then we will have the great foundation laid for the other temperaments to be healthy, vig- orous and thrifty. God gave man these two tem- peraments to make him intelligent, wise, indus- trious and cleanly, to have deep, keen and good enjoyments, and to take rough materials and make nice, good and useful things out of them. Also to make duty places clean, nice and beautiful, and we must not be afraid to go to work and improve things even if we do get our hands and ciothes soiled, and it should be our aim in life to properly cultivate and take special care of these tempera- ments. If a person is marked higher in the brain than in the nerves they will have more of the tempera- ment in the brain. If marked higher in the nerves they will have more of the temperament in the nerves. If marked with the same figure in brain and nerves they will have the brain and nerve tenrperaments equally divided in the brain and nerves. EXCITABILITY. Excitability is generally the strongest in the sanguine and vital temperaments, the weakest in the lymphatic temperamenl and average in the motive temperament. The sign of excitability is bard i<> describe. There is a certain kind of coun- tenance, looks, actions, expression, etc. You must learn t<> see what si<>ns are bv careful watch 21 ing and using good judgment, and when you see persons that are easily excited look f orsigns of ex- citability. When sure you have dectected some of the signs then apply them to others. You no- tice that some children resemble and favor their parents; that is the way in noticing excitability, you will see people that resemble and act like some one that you know is excitable. A good phrenologist can easily tell excitability. A person in whom it is strongly developed will be easily excited and stirred up, and is liable to be flashy and passionate and will do and say things in time of excitement that they would not do when they are calm and cool and have time to think over the matter; also they might act in a manner that they would be sorry and ashamed of afterward, and often do not know what they are doing or saying when excited. Excitability is a good thing in its place, to keep us wakened up, but it should be well guarded and directed by using good self con- trol, morality, and good common sense and judg- ment. Where excitability is weak you will not be easily excited and will generally talk and act with but little excitement and if you do not use good judgment, activity and industry you will need to be stirred up by cultivating excitability. It is usually more strongly developed in women than in men, and is the strongest in the Irish race. A person in whom excitability is strong and activity weak will generally make a great stir and not get much accomplished when greatly excited, especial- ly if push, energy and force is weak, and the brain is small. 22 ACTIVITY. When activity is great, (as 8 to 10) you will be very active and stirring and will want to do things quick, especially if it is something you are inter- ested in and can work rapidly. If you possess industry and knowledge it will be increased to do its work more rapidly and correct. Activity is generally the greatest in the brain and nerve tem- peraments and the weakest in the lymphatic. You will have to judge of activity by the rules laid for excitability. When a person has great activity they will often be in too much of a hurry to do and learn things well, especially if going through a slow process. But a person must take time to do their work if it is a little tedious and then add speed as fast as you can without injuring your health. You may not be patient enough with peo- ple whose activity is weak and who can not do work rapidly, or if they are weakly or sickly, and in such cases you must use good judgment, mercy and morality and take time to talk and act prop- erly. If your activity is weak you will not do to be put at work where it is to be done rapidly and on short notice even if you have got industry and good knowledge of the work. A person with ac- tivity strong and excitability weak will be active and move quick and not be excited and stirred up greatly. Activity means active in body and mind and a person with activity strongly developed is liable to want to study, read and talk faster than they can understand and they are liable to go through their books too fast to understand them well. Have patience and thoroughness, use good judgment and take time to study your lessons and books well and thorough. Learn to study and 23 think rapidly yet good and true, and remember that fast work is not always the best. If excitabi'ity, activity, fine grained and brain and nerve temper- aments are strongly developed you will learn trades and professions well and rapidly and can become excellent scholars in whatever branch you are adapted to. Some people with excitability and activity great could become very good in professions, trades and work if they would have the patience to adhere to that which they .undertake. They learn and worrk very fast when things go rap- idly and well, but when they come to places where it requires them to be slow, calm and patient and requires hard work and study to get through, they get discouraged and give up for life; where if they would have moved right along until they would become good, then they could have moved along rapidlv*and easily wiih their work or studies and would have liked their studies if they had only pushed right through the storms. Now reader, remember and move strai ht forward and do things right if you do have to go slow and study hard. Be careful and not go too much by excitement and activity in a great many places. As an illustra- tion I know of an occurrence in which a genr tleman's house was on fire ; one of the girls hur- ried and got a ladder, carried water up on the roof and put the fire out unaided. She was so much excited that she rang the farm bell after the fire was completely extinguished, thus showing great activity, judgement, courage and excitability". SIZE OF BRAIN. A very large brain will measure 24 inches in circumference, from the forehead around the sides to the back part of the head, a large brain will meas- ure 23 inches, a full sized brain will measure 22 inches, an average sized brain will measure 20 to 21 inches, a moderate sized brain IS to 20 inches, a small brain 10 to IS inches, very small brain 1-4 to 16 inches, and a person with a brain that meas- ures less than fourteen to fifteen indies usually have nothing but the inner, whitest brain and are idiotic and of the weakest minded class. Some idiots with very small brains will often have from three to live organs of the brain very large. | figure 8. 9 or ten in size) and they will be rery bright in one or two ways. There was an idiot in Missouri that 9.K had language well developed and calculation was as highly developed as figure 9 or 10, and he could add, divide, subtract and multiply very rapidly. Merchants and bankers would get him to count up their notes and bills, and the counting and summing up of their goods when invoicing. He was very rapid and generally very correct. He would count up long rows of figures nearly as fast as they would write down the answers and would talk quite freely, but could not understand the business in any form and had no power of mind. President Garfield had a brain 24 inches in cir- cumference and he had great power of mind in great and complicated affairs. To measure the brain take a string or tape line and start it at the front part of the brain one-half inch above the eye-brows and pass it on around the head horizontally just above the top part of the ears bringing the lines together at parental love just above the sharp bone in the lower back part of the brain. The larger the brain and the harder it is worked the more brain food and sleep you will need. People with an averaged sized brain will often be more brilliant, stirring, quick witted and active than a large or very large brain, but will not have that strong power of mind and that depth of understanding and far-seeing mind that a large or very large brain will possess. You notice that the Missouri idiot could count more readily and quicker than President Garfield, but the idiot could not be a statesman or have a mind to rule and govern a nation and understand com- plicated affairs like Garfield, President Cleveland and other great men or women. A large brain or (8 to 10 ) is adapted to a large wholesale business, 6 to 8 retail and wholesale business, 5 to 6 small 26 retail business; smaller than this should work under others and be carefully taught and directed in such branches as are easily learned (The above measurement is meant for the brain of a full grown person. ) BRAIN NOT TOO LARGE. It has been thought by many that the brain is too large for the body, but as a rule that is a mis- take, the body being often too small We notice that imbeciles do not live to an old age even if well cared for as they have not brain enough to manufacture electricity and nervous power to keep the body up; to make it nervy, springy and active like such animals as the deer, rabbit and ratterier dog The fault is the brain is not prop- erly taken care of, or is dropsical or diseased in some other manner. I have taken particular no- tice of people that have small bodies and a full or large brain are the most active, nervy, stronger and healthier according to the size of their bodies than any other class of people, that is when all the functions are well cared for. The brain is the cen- ter of all the nerves and is the manufacturer of the nervous power and electricity for the body and brain. Now you see that a full sized brain will manufacture more nervous power and electricity for a small body than a small brain would Then remember that children that are born with weakly and sickly bodies are liable to die young even though their brain be large or small. Children with Large brains and small bodies should have an abundance of brain foods: no coffee or pork, plen- ty of rest, and sleep long enough to allow the brain to accumulate enough electricity and nervous power for their bodies. When old enough to study 27 do not let them study after night and only study according to the strength of the body and not the size of the brain. We will take as an illustration a person with one of their legs small and weak and the other large and strong. The large leg will help the weak one along if properly managed, but the large leg is not too large for the small leg bat the one is too small for the other. Now if both legs weak a person could not walk very far in a day, but if one of them was good and strong he would be able to travel quite a distance, but if he tries to make the weak leg hold out as long as the strong one he will overdo it and injure it And this is often the case with the body and brain. A large strong brain should aid and strengthen the weak body with electricity and nervous power. You should not exercise or study any or very little just before or an hour after meals so that the blood and electricity and nervous power can go to the stomach to increase your digestion; and in this and other ways the large brain will help the weak body like the strong leg would the weak leg. If a per- son studies too hard they use up all of the elec- tricity and nervous power and have none left for their bodies. People that have a great deal of the baain and nerve temperament combined with the fine grained temperament should be careful and not fret and worry as it will injure them more than any other class of people. We should all fret and worrjr as little as possible, for you know that the horse that worries and frets is the one that sweats and tires the quickest. Now reader do you want people with small bodies to have small brains and be idiotic. I want to see people with small bodies to have a full and well developed brain and their chance of living is more sure if their brains are 28 well taken care of when they are young and learn them to take care of themselves Avhen they get older A person with the brain fully developed is more intelligent and uses better judgment and consequently can do things easier and quicker thus saving the body. It will not help a small body that has a large brain to neglect the brain and not try to develop it. You should develop the brain as much as the body will permit, and the brain will in turn strengthen and save the body. We will take Tom Thumb as an illustration of a large or full sized brain and a small body. He was between two and three feet in height and built ac- cordingly, yet his brain was well developed and he did quite a business in the orange trade and owned a large orange farm, and he never was sick- ly. Do you think it would have been better for him to have had a small idiotic brain in compari- son with his body? I say not. Now reader if you have a small body and a full and large brain do not try to compress the brain but build up the strength of the body by using good healthy food: do not use any cold water just before or right af- ter meals for it chills the stomach and nearly stops digestion for a time; and work or exercise as much as your body can stand. Sometimes the nerves and spinal column are too weak and small and will not carry all the electricity and nervous fluid to the body and consequently the body is not active and strong as it should be. Then where the brain is large and the body small the person needs more of a change of studios, scenery and thoughts than others thai arc more evenly balanced. A diseased brain will often cause the body to become weak and diseased. For a strong and healthy brain yon want good healthy blood and nerves. The blood 29 feeds the brain and and good nerves carry the electricity to the body freely whenever needed The above is especially meant for any person with a small or a weackly body, bnt it will also ap- ply to others in many ways and will not need to be applied so carefully to people in general. THE BRAIN AND ITS ORGANS. SOCIAL ORGANS. There are five social organs, viz : Amative- ness, Conjugality, Parental Love, Friendship and Inhabitiveness. A pe*rson with strong so- cial organs will be a lover of home, country, family, friends- , children, society and the oppo- site sex. If they are wrongly cultivated, di- rected and controlled the person will follow bad company and their sinful ways, and have a de- sir-- to be running after company when they ought to be taking care of that which is good and useful. If they can visit g >od company and be learning and doing that which is useful and good when circumstance? are favorable, then it is all right with them. When the social organs are small in a person he does not care much for the social ways which are described above, and is sometimes abusive to family and children. These organs are located in the back and lower part of the brain or head 1, Amativeness. — Love of the minds and so- ciety of the opposite sex. 2, Conjugality. — A strong love for one of the opposite sex and for a life companion, a desire to be mated When large and not rightly con- trolled, cultivated and directed in one, they coil- nrit suicide, or go insane, or pine away be- 30 cause they cU not get the one they loved so well or was disappointed by the one they became at- tached to. When small one is changeable or is not firm in their love if not rightly directed or combined with other organs, especially friend- ship and moral organs. 3, Parental Love. — A desire and love of children, pets, and the animals their young. Wrongly directed, controlled and cultivated, petting and spoilins children by permitting them to have their own way too much, over- feeding with things that are injurious and tak- ing their part when they are wrong. When small, if not rightly controlled, cultivated and directed has not patience enough with chidren and does not give them proper care, is often cross with children and too exact and particu- lar. Make your children obey that which is good, useful and right, be kind to them and permit them to have good, happy enjoyment and health- ful exercise ai proper times and places, even if they do make a noise. 4, Friendship. — When strongly developed gives a strong love for a friend or friends and often a str ng attachment to dogs, also love of company and society — love of friends with no regard to sex. Not rightly controlled and di- rected one is led into wicked and foolish ways by wicked and foolish companions and friends. 5, [nhabitiveness. — Gives a desire and love for a home, and a person with this organ larger than the others thinks that "be it ever so hum- ble, there is no place like home,'' and is liable to become homesick if long away from home. Wrongly controlled or cultivated one cheats other people out of their money or property to 31 get a home for themselves. When small and not properly cultivated and combined with other organs it gives a roving disposition and a per- son is not inclined to settle down in one place for life just for the sake of a home. 6, Continuity.— When large gives a desire to do one thing at a time and to keep the thoughts on one subject until it is well studied over. It gives patience to wait and prevents all other organs from acting so quickly and changing so rapidly from one thing to another. Small ; you have "too many irons on the fire at once," and you are too changeable in work, studv and thoughts to follow an occupation which requires long con- tinued patient work or study. 7. Vivativeness. — <»ives love of life for life's sake and you dread death even if in poverty, sickness or failure. Small and not rightly di- rected and cultivated you do not care much whether you live or die and often commit sui- cide in time of failures, distress or disappointed love. 8. Alimentiveness. - You have a great love of seeing food and drinks and storing food for fu- ture use. A person with large alimentiveness would rather manufacture or deal in eatables than anything else even if he had a better occupation If it is wrongly directed and culti- vated a person eats and drinks too much and that which is not fit to eat just because it looks good. 9. Acquisitiveness — Givss a desire for wealth, to save and lay away for the sake of acquiring wealth ; you do not like to see things wasted. When wrongly directed and cultivated it causes 32 greed, theft, a miserly disposition and too great a desire for property by neglecting other good and useful things too much. With acquisitive- ness small you are liable to be a spendthrift also wasteful of time or mone} 7 if not properly cul- tivated. If you do not care for wealth or to economize do not spend your time or money for things that are injurious, degrading and sinful, but lay away for old age, sickness or stormy days also to aid people along in their good and useful ways. 10. Executives ess. — Gives promptness, thor- oughness and energy, gives a person a through- going nature, great courage in time of trials, helps to endure pain when need be, gives a person pow- er to overcome temptations and difficulties, but if wrongly directed it causes murder, revenge cruel- ty and a boisterous, furious nature. When execu- tiveness is small a person is weak in this direction, but with the other organs well developed and well directed and trained they can fill many important positions but will not be so great in some places as if their executiveness was large. 11. DEFENSITIVENESS. — Gives great earnestness, energy, force, courage, opposition, resistance, a de- sire to debate, argue, defend and protect yourself, home and country, gives a pushing', go-a-head dis- position, but if wrongly cultivated and not prop- erly controlled causes fighting, high temper, fiery, mad disposition and is easily insulted. When de- fcnsilivcncss is small a person is weak in this di- rection and are not naturally energetic, fond of ar- guments and debates, etc., and should carefully cultivate themselves in fche right direction. Defensitiveness is more Cor fche using of light articles and giving quick, sharp, decisive blows; H argues with great earnestness and the words seem to come oat like a knock and sometimes sharp and piercing Executiveness will want to use heavy articles and do things in a pushing, thorough man- ner if it does take more time; and are more for prosecuting and driving things through and does not like to argue or debate. These organs are large in great reformers like Martin Luther, D. L. Moody and President Cleveland and others. 12. Secretiveness — Gives the power to con- ceal the thoughts and actions, to be calm, quiet and reserved and helps a person from being rash, passionate or outspoken. When wrongly direct- ed and cultivated you will practice deception, hypocrisy, double-dealing or have a foxy nature just for the love of being so. When small you are we a i in this respect and cannot keep a secret well unless you exercise good, moral and com- mon sense judgement to avoid trouble. 13. Cautiousness. — Gives a desire to be care- ful, cautious and watchful of dangers and diffi- culties. When wrongly cultivated you have too much dread and fear of danger and trouble and look at mole hills as if they were mountains — you are in 'hot water" too much. When small and wrongly cultivated you are rash, reckless and do not look out for dangers ahead — look at mountains as if they were mole hills, if good judgementis not used. We must bear in mind that often where there is nothing ventured there is nothing gained ; and we must also remember that if we go at work, study orbusines recklessly and carelessly with our eyes shut we will often get nothing after we have ventured and worked hard, and sometimes are left, as the saying is, K in hot water," 34 14. Approbattvexess. — Gives a desire for honor, public opinion and a good name, also ambition and a desire to excell and rise in the world and be in the front ranks in life and gives a person a more pleasing and elevated nature. When wrongly cultivated and directed it gives one a boastful nature and they try to tear down others' good works, character and good name for the purpose of getting a high sounding name for themselves. When small you do not care much for name or honor or to be in the front ranks, and if not careful you will not be pleas- ing and elevated enough in your ways and thoughts, will not have a good character and then if you get blame or praise you will be able to go right on to success. 15. Self Esteem. — Gives self reliance, self re- spect, self confidence, manliness, love of liberty and a desire to command, govern and lead oth- ers, or to be some high ruler. When small you have not much desire in this direction. When wrongly cultivated and directed you are too haughty, overbearing and dignified to humble yourself to do and see to small, useful and good things. 1G. Firmness. — (lives a steady, persevering na- ture ; you are firm and steadfast in purpose and belief until convinced differently. . When small you arc weak in this direction. When wrongly cultivated and directed gives a person a stub- born disposition ; you are stubborn and contrary and will not yield when they know they are wrong just for the sake of being contrary and Btubborn. 17 Conscientiousness. — Gives a Feeling for justice and right and sense of duty; you are very 35 exact in dealing because it is right. When small you will not be so exact in your dealings and ways, but with other moral organs well trained you will be good, and will not be just for jus- tice's sake but because it pleases you to be so. When wrongly cultivated and directed you will be too ready to blame and censure and to ask for things to be made exact when it cannot be done under the circumstances. 18. Hope. — Gives expectation of success, hopefulness and cheerfulness of mind and look- ing forward for a land of plenty. When small you will often get the "blues," and look on the dark side too much when by your judgement you cannot see things moving rightly. When wrongly cultivated and directed you build air castles and live in great hope of things without using industry, good judgment and morality to get them. 19. Wonder. — Gives a belief in the unseen, a desire to look into the great future, also a belief in strange and wonderful things, new ideas, in- ventions and improvements and in a life beyond the grave. When small you will not believe so much in the unseen, but will believe more bv history, experience, observation, comparison and teaching. Cultivate it by looking over the past and see what wonderful things have been done and then look into the future and see what great things might be done in improvements, educa- tion, morality and religion. When wrongly di- rected you believe in fortune telling, ghosts, witches and read novels, &c. Think and prac- tice morality, read the Bible and keep all trashy thoughts and reading away. 20. Veneration. — Gives great respect for peo- 36 pie, Especially old people; it causes the other natures to be more yielding and of a humbler and easier nature, and one worships with great reverence. When small you will be naturally weak in deep respect for the great, good and old and will not have a natural and deep wor- shiping feeling that comes by instinct. If rightlv cultivated and directed you will pray by faith and love and have a deep experience with God's spirit. When wrongly cultivated and di- rected you are too much inclined to hold to old things and customs when the new are the best; also to worshiping idols, moon, stars, &c. 21. Benevolence.— Gives sympathy, kindness, philantrophy, tenderness, a desire to help the needy, to do good and be liberal. Wrongly cul- tivated and directed you nre led into bad ways by stealing from one and giving to another, and having too great a kindness for sinners and leav- ing them go unpunished when you should use justice and punishment. When small you are weak in this disposition. 22 Constructivenicss - Gives mechanical -kill, taste and ingenuity, gives a desire for the use of tools, to construct and work at machinery; it aids in inventions, improvements and in the construction of sentences and subjects and as sisfs in trades, professions and business. With a proper combination of temperaments and a, large and properly shaped brain, well culti- vated and directed you could become great aa a mechanical business man or a great manufac- turer <>t machinery. Wrongly cultivated and directed ; you think too much of mechanics and building when you ought to he obeying the heall hlawp and be cultivating the different j>:r!s 37 of the brain in refinement, taste, cleanliness and a good character. When small you will only care about machinery, tools, &c, when circum- stances are in your favor, or for a change and will not be skillful with tools and machinery. 23. Ideality. — Gives the love of poetry, art, refinement and graceful ways in society and in public speaking. Gives great ideas and imagina- tions about things seen and unseen, When wrongly cultivated and directed you are too im- aginary when you ought to be seeing after the really useful, good and true pursuits.

Sublimity — Gives love of wild and nat- ural scenery, such as mountains, water falls, rivers, lakes, &c, the grand, sublime and wild in scener}r.reading,engravings, and you love to hear thunder and loud roaring noises if you are not nervous and timid. When small you are weak in this direction. Wrongly cultivated and di- rected you are addicted to reading wild novels. 25.

When wrongly directed and cul- tivated you make fun of peoples' ways that are good just because they are not according to your custom, laughing at and tormenting people until they become angry. Do not laugh at and torment people who do not enjoy such things as you do; have peace before fun and jokes. INTELLECTUAL ORGANS. 28 Individuality. — Gives a desire to see every little particular part and observe everything closely in all particulars on short notice and you gain knowledge rapidly by observing and listening closely. When not properly directed you are too much given to prying into things just for curios- ity. 29.

Size. — Gives good judgment of the weight of things by observing their size, also gives good judgment of length, height, breadth, distance, fineness or coarseness of objects and articles. Not properly directed you give your attention to calcu- lating trivial things which will be of no benefit to you. 31. Weight. — Gives a perception of the laws of gravitation, or the knowledge of the attraction and resistance of forces, especially iii steam and ma chinery; one can generally tell the weight of things 3y well by lifting them, can balance and ride horse- back well; you will have good control over your movements and can plumb well; it also gives good judgment of perpendiculars. When wrongly di- rected you are in the habit of balancing, walking and climbing in dangerous places that are uncalled for. 32. Color. — Gives a love, knowledge and mem- ory of colors, shades, tints and a love of flowers for the sake of colors. When wrongly directed you pay too much attention to flowers when your work, mind and money should be used in other di- rections. 33.

When wrongly directed you are too particular in regard to order without a view to convenience. 34 Calculation. — Gives the knowledge of num- bers and the power to add, subtract, multiply and divide and to calculate and make estimations in work and business It has to be combined with other organs to work in higher mathematics. When wrongly directed you are liable to go into business on the strength of your calculations with- out understanding the business and its rules. If you have this organ small it would be of no use for you to undertake any occupation in which fig- uring or mathematical calculations are concerned, as in book keeping, &c. George Comb, a learned professor of phrenology, physiology and moral philosophy, had this organ very small and studied seven years at the multiplication table and then could not master it. By the advice of Mr. Spur- zium, a phrenologist, he used his larger organs of 40 the brain and studied phrenology, physiology and moral philosophy to which he was so well adapted, and became one of the most learned men of his day in those branches. 35 Locality — Gives power to recollect places and the direction of them. One can locate them- selves well and do not easily get lost in new and strange places and countries. This organ enables persons and animals to take a bee line without landmarks to find his way When wrongly di- rected too much given to traveling and roving just for the sake of traveling, and getting no benefit and neglecting to prepare for sickness and old age. 38. Eventuality — Gives a memory of happen- ings and events and gives a love of news and good old stories of our grandparents. When wrongly directed you are too much devoted to news and events without getting out the essence. 37. Time.— Gives recollection of dates and time and enables you to note passing time; one has a love and knowledge of time in music for the sake of time and not harmony. Do not be too exact of time at all times and places. 38. Tune — Gives the sense of harmonious sounds, love and knowledge of music, sense of har- mony and melody of music; it also gives the power to regulate the voice in reading and speaking if the throat and lungs are in a healthy condition Do not spend too much time and money for music as we cannot live just by music, and there are other good ways of enjoyment. 39- Language.— Gives the love, talent and power to talk and to express the thoughts and knowledge to others, a'.so memory of words, love of reading, Speaking and hearing others speak and read When wrongly cultivated and directed you talk and 41 read just for the sake of talking aucl reading with- out any useful or moral benefit. 40. Originality. —Gives a desire to find the first causes that produce or will produce inventions, improvements, knowledge, morals, religion or whatever it may be interested in. A person with this organ large wants the original and traces things to the beginning by philosophizing, hard thinking and planning. When wrongly cultivated one is given to theorizing and thinking without go- ing back to the causes and will have a drowsy, dreamy cast of mind When this organ is small a person will be weak in this direction and will want to know by observation, experience and prac- tice, just as the combinations and size of the or- gans and temperaments are. 41. Compaeison — Gives a desire and power to compare, illustrate, explain, and classify ideas, facts and also things seen; to compare goorl with good, bad with bad when known to be so. One sees a resemblance in ideas, ways and opinions and readily sees analogy and logic. Yv 7 hen wrongly cultivated and directed you are addicted to fault- finding and criticism just because some people's useful ways do not work in harmony and compare with other people's customs and ideas 42 Human Nature. — Gives a desire to study and watch the' dispositions, ways and actions of all living beings, especially of people and will be able to tell some of the leading dispositions of peoples's character by looking at them, hearing them talk and watching their actions. It is especially ad- dapted to reading the signs of health and diseases, and if this organ is rightly cultivated in a person, they will be able to read diseases like a book When wrongly directed one is given to tormenting 4*2 people, animals and many kinds of living things just to see how they will act and prying into people's character in a wrong way, also excessive fau.t find- ing and prejudice against a person's weak dispo- sitions, talents and knowledge that they cannot help that they have not the power of brain and body to perform You should study phrenology and temperaments and know how to judge people rightly in health and sickness EXPLANATION OF TERMS. The scale for marking the relative strength and activity of the different conditions of the body and faculties of the mind is from 1 to 10. The figures in this work are used in a specific sense only. The organs of the brain will manifest or show a good many dispositions by different combinations of organs working together in different ways and at different times, and a greater number of organs is used at some points than at others. 1 Very small , is used when an organ is so small and poor that it would be very poor or weak in its functions and would not be capable of trades and professions. 2 Small, denotes a feeble activity, not large enough to control or govern. 3. Moderate, will do fairly well in trades or pro- fessions and character ii rightly cultivated and rightly directed. 4. Average will be fair in character and hades, and will have a fair influence in all directions. 5. Is a iiltle better and stronger than figure 1: one thai lias influence but Dot authority; is neither deficient DOT excellent 6. I'ii; . win do well and learn and progress rap- *8 idly; will have considerable influence, power and strength of character if properly cultivated in the direction of your best talents. 7. Is somewhat stronger in character, trades or professions than figure 6, if circumstances are equal and are well developed and cultivated. 8. Large, shows a great deal of power and strength of character; will excell if properly culti- vated; learn rapidly and become very good in trades or professions. 9. Is somewhat stronger than figure 8, is ambi- tious and has great desires and tastes, one which is capable of distinguished and self-directing con- duct. 10. Is very large or strong and is the greatest that can be attained. You w T ill be able to make good headway in all your pursuits; will be able to master great difficulties and make great improve- ments in the directions you are taught: when up to 9 or 10 in one or two organs or trades and pro- fessions and w r eak in all the other organs a person is liable to become so strongly attached to their professions or dispositions that they will overwork themselves and neglect the health laws and go insane if not well guarded and regulated. The brain is divided in two parts (called the right and left hem:" sphere) by a very thin mem- brane that commences at the top of the nose and runs through the middle of the brain from the front part to the back part. >So the left half of the brain has 42 organs and the right half of the brain has 42 organs, and of the same kind as the left side, or 84 combined. There are two organs of Hope, one on each half of the brain, and hope is located at the same place on the left half of the brain as it is on the right side of the ±4 brain, and it is the same with the rest of the organs. SIZE OF ORGANS. HOW TO JUDGE THE SIZE OF ORGANS. Do not think because you do not see bumps or hills or hollows that there is but little brain, but if all the organs are of the same size then the brain will be even and smoothly developed in all parts. If there is an organ or organs smaller in size than the organs around or beside them then there will be a hollow or sunken place or places where the smaller sized organs are, and there will be bumps or hills where the larger or- gans are. To judge the size of the organs of the brain the first way is by the size of the brain, the larger the brain the larger the organs; the second to take a line and start it at the opening of the ear and draw it straight up over the top of the brain and down to the opening of the other ear, then the larger the organs the farther forward and back- ward the brain will extend from this line, and the longer the line will be from ear to ear: then draw aline over the eyes back over the openings of the ears to the back part of the brain with the same angie the entire distance and the- greater the dis- tance above this line to the top of the brain the larger the organs are in the top of the brain, and the more rounding and higher the top of the brahi is the larger the organs are in that direction; then draw a line from the nose over the top of the head to the back pari of the brain, then the greater the distance from this line to the opening of the ears tin' larger the organs; the greater the distance through the brain from one side to the other the 45 larger the organs on the sides of the brain. The method that should be used mostly by all begin- ners is by taking the hands and feeling over the brain with the ends and balls of the fingers and try and find the size of each organ by seeing and feeling the distance the organ is developed from the lines just described, or the greater the distance from the lines to the outward part of the organs, or that part of the brain you are examining, the larger are the organs or brain at that part; or you can take the distance from the outward part of the brain to the lines if you like, it is all the same, and when you find a deep hollow or sunken place and then a large bump or hill then you may know that one organ is rather small and the other large. If the brain is evenly developed in all "parts and the distance is great from the lines to the outward part of the brain the organs are all largely devel- oped, and then the person would have a large brain; if the distance from the lines to the outward part of the brain be medium then the organs are of an average size, and if the distance be small the organs are small. It takes time, practice, tal- ent and experience to be a good phrenologist. A person should get a cast of the brain with all the organs of the brain marked and properly located; they cost from 50 cents to $5.00. The central lower part of the brain is white, and the outer por- tion is of a little darker color. The outer or dark part of the brain is that which produces the mind or thought; without the outer or dark colored part of the brain we would be idiotic; that is the reason why idiots have such small brains. To have much mind you must have a good deal of the grey brain, and without this you have a small brain and a small mind; the white brain aid- 46 ing and nourishing all the other parts of the brain. It is the organs of the brain that makes the outer or darker colored portion of the brain, so if you find a deep sunken place in the brain that it dips or reaches down to the white brain then you have no organ of the brain there to per- form those functions. It might be hope, eventu- ality, constructiveness, or time, etc The outer part of the brain is divided into 42 different parts and each part has certain kinds of mind, character and disposition to perform, and each part of the brain is called an organ. The brain is something similar to the body and the respective parts do their respective work and everything works nicely and we should try and make them work harmon- iously. Each one of the forty-two parts should do its own work and thej< are all formed to fit nicely and work together just like the different parts of the body. HOW TO FIND THE ORGANS OF THE BRAIN. Draw a line (the same as before) from the no3e over the top of the head to the back \rdvt of the brain to the sharp bony protuberance below Pa- rental Love. Not all people have that protuber- ance but when you do find it on some person you can easily tell thereafter how far down the brain nine. Now this line pusses over eleven organs of the brain. If the brain is large this line will gen- erally measure IT) inches, ami a full size I brain will measure 13 to 14 inches in this direction, The first organ that this line passes over is Individual- ity, located between the eyebrows; abo it an inch higher up in the center of the forehead is ESvetual- 47 ity which is generally smaller in the people of the United States than the other organs immediately surrounding it and creates a small sunken place where eventuality is located; about an inch fur- ther up in the middle of the upper part of the forehead is Comparison; next is Human Nature, an inch further up about where the hair begins or on the rounding part of the brain; next is Benevolence on the front top part of the brain; next comes Ven- eration located in the center of the top part of the brain; next is firmness on the top of the brain a little in front of the crown of the head where the hair parts in different directions, or a line drawn from one opening of the ear to the other will pass over the former line on the front part of firmness; the next organ is Self Esteem in the crown of the head, and the higher the crown of the head aboye the ears the larger is Self Esteem; about an inch below the the crown of the head is Continuity; an inch and a half lower near the center of the head is Inhabitiveness; the next and last organ on this line is Parental Love, one and a half inches lower than Inhabitiveness and just above the bony pro- tuberance in the back part of the head. We will now go to the front part of the brain and start a line from a point about an inch above the inner part of the eye bail and parallel with the former line The first organ on this line is Locality, lo- cated above the eye brows on either side of Even- tuality; then about an inch higher up and directly above the center of the eye bails on either side of Comparison is Originality, and it makes the upper and outer part of the forehead appear large when it is larger than the other organs that are around it; Time is located a little above the eye brow and over the outer part of the eye ball; Language is 48 located back of the eye ball and it grows forward and as it grows larger it pushes the eye ball for- ward; Form is situated at the base of the upper part of the nose between the eyes and pushes the eyes far apart and makes that part of the nose ap- peal' broad when Form is well developed. Size is located at the inner parts of the eye brows just between individuality and the eye socket; Weight adjoins Size just over the inner part of the eye balls in the eye brows; Color is located in the eye brows just over the middle of the eye balls ; Order is located in the eye brows adjoining Col- or, over the outward part of the eyeballs; calcu- lation is located at the outer part of the eye brows and the lower part of Calculation comes down as low o : a little lower than the outer op- ening of the eye, and when largely developed it fills out at the outer side of the eye, and when small the brain seems to go straight back from the outer part of the >ye. George Combs' brain at thid point extended but little beyond the eye balls and he consequently bad small Calcu- lation. Now we will compare the shape of the brain to the shape of a barn, the sides of the barn to represent the sides of the brain and the roof to represent the top part of the brain, the top of the brnin beginning where the brain be- gins to round toward the top part of the bead, and compare the pi ice where the top and sides of the brain come together to the place where the roof of the barn joins the sides. Now dnuv a line around the brain just where the sides and top come together (or where the roof of the barn joins the sides) at the same angle all th< way around and should come a little below'the crown of the head in the back part. We will call the ■49 center of the top of the brain as the ccmb of the roof. Now draw a line over the center of the top of the brain (or comb) from the front part of the brain to the back, or rrom one end of the comb ot the roof to the other, or the same line you first drew from the nose over trie middle of the top of the brain to the back of the brain. Now draw a line half-way between the line on top of the middle part of the brain, or comb of barn roof and the line around the plate of brain or barn, from the front part of the top of the brain to the back part of the top of the brain. Now this middle line is just like a line drawn along the middle of the barn roof from one end to the other end just half-way between the comb and lower part of the roof at the plate. Now draw a fourth line from one opening of the ear straight up over the top of the brain down to the other opening of the ear. Now where this fourth line crosses the middle line of the brain or roof, is Conscientiousness ; one and half inch forward is Hope. Hope is located on each side of the back part of Veneration. One inch for- ward of Hope is Wonder. This organ is located on each side of the front part of Veneration. One inch forward of Wonder is Imitation, lo- cated on each side of Benevolence; and between Benevolence and Ideality, one and a quarter inch forward of Imitation is Agreeableness. This organ is located just where the head rounds off, between the forehead and the top of the brain where the hair begins to grow, on each side of Human Nature. These organs are lo- cated on the middle line or the middle of the roof, half-way between the comb and the lower part of the roof. Now we will follow the third 50 plate line that is drawn around the brain just where the side of the brain begins to round off to form th«- top of the brain. Here we draw the fourth line from the opening of one ear straight up over the top of the brain down to the open- ing of the other ear. Now where the fourth line crosses the third line, directly above the ear on the pfatc line is Cautiousness; an inch a half forward on the plate line is Sublimity ; one inch and a half forward of Sublimity is Ideality; about one and a half inches in front of Ideality is Consistency; it is located jiu-t on the round- ing part of the brain between the upper part of the forehead and the upper part of the side or plate of the brain. We will now locate some of the organs in the bac ; part of the head : Start at the m'ddle of the back part of the ear and draw a line thence straight back to the back and lower part of the middle of the brain, or about where the brain and neck come together. Thn line will cross Amativeness ; it is located about two-thirds of the distance from the ear to the middle of the back of the brain ; then an inch straight up from Amativeness is Conjugality; it is situated at the side of Parental Love on each side of the brain; then a little more than an inch straight above Conjugality is Friendship; ir. is situated at the side of Inhabitiveness on each side of the brain; one and a half inches above Friendship is Ap- probativeness ; it is situated about one and a half inches outward from the crown of the head on each side of Self Esteem. Self Esteem is lo- cated in the crown of the brain between Appro b it iv'-ncs-'. Tin- organ of Alimentiveness is lo- cated one inch in front of the upper half of the 51 ear; Tune is located a little above and back of the lower and outer nart of the eyebrows and joins the temples. To find the organ of Con- t-tructiveness draw a line from the center of the forehead around the side to within about a half an inch above the upper extremity of the ear, and the line will cross over Constructiveness; now draw another line half way between the eye and ear straight upward, and where it crosses the first line you will find Constructiveness ; it joins and is partly above and back of the temple. The brain of a skillful mechanic is large at this organ. Executiveness is located just a little in front and at the top of the ears ; when large the brain is wide at this place Defensitiveness is located an inch back of the top p*.rt of the ears and back of Secretiveness ; v;hen large the head will be broad at this point and when small it will be narrow. Acquisitiveness is located one inch in front and one inch higher than the up- per extremity of the ears. Secretiveness is lo- cated a little back and an inch ab >ve the top of the ears ; druv a line from the opening of the ear to the crown of the head and it will cross Secretiveness ; it is just back of Acquisitiveness. Vivativeness is located back of the ears just back of the bony place which is behind the ears. These bony part-; are for the attachment of mus- cle and are not organs of the brain. This bony partis larger in some persons than in others. Reader, I have given you the main rules to go by to find the organs of the brain. There are 42 organs in the brain ; now the larger the brain the larger the organs and the distance will be greater from one organ to another when the brain is large than when it is small. T have laid o2 down rules for finding the organs of a full sized brain, which is 22 inches in circumference, and equally developed in all parts. Now if the brain is larger than 22 inches the distance will be greater from one organ to anooher than that which I mentioned in my rules for finding the organs. If the brain is smaller than 22 inches then the distance will be less than I mentioned from one organ to another. Now reader, you can draw imaginary lines with your eyes if cir- cumstances will not allow them to be drawn with a tape or string, and you can also select dif- ferent places to start from or to go by than those which I men'ioned ; but I gave you a few of the best and you can select others that will be just as good to start from. Watch the different shaped brains and see the different kinds of character and temperaments, and observe how they affect the different persons possessing them ; also watch the health and diseases of people closely, as some people have well developed brains and would make a grand mark in the world if it was not for some disease that prevents them from using the very best part of their brains. As an illustration, we sometimes see persons who have the light temperaments and the proper shaped brains to become first class blacksmiths, but they may have rheumatism of the arms or a weak shoulder which prevents them from following the 'rade to which thev are so well adapted ; some may have catarrh of the nose aid head so badly that they cannot follow the studies or professions to which they are adapted. Catarrh of the nose and head will weaken the eves and general memon and Qanses headache. Bad teeth will cause some to huvu weak eves and bad breath or a deranged stom- ach. There have been people who h d large and well developed brains with a good combination of temperaments, who were making plow pro- gress in their occupations, and after receiving the proper care and treatment they became well and healthy and then would make rapid pro- gress There are some diseases that do not weaken and cause the brain to become dull and stupid but the mind remains clear and bright. Some diseases of the body work more on the brain than the body because the disease is on a set of sensitive nerves or nerve centers ; then if it affects the whole brain it may affect it in dif- ferent ways ; the disease may cause the brain to act in an irritable, dull, or stupid way and also causes the body to feel so. Thtn the brain is sometimes diseased in some parts that is not caused by the body being diseased. 54 HOW TO JUDGE THE BRAIN. If you see a person's brain that is broad and all parts of the sides of the brain are well de- veloped or filled up evenly, then you may know that all the organs that are located on the sides of the brain are 7 or 8 or large; then if some parts of the side of 1 he brain have a hollow or sunken place in then), or if the brain is narrow at some point in the sides, then the organ or organs, as it may be, are small at this point; and where the brain is of average width then the organs are of average size at this place. The in- tellectual organs arc all situated in the front part of the brain. The division of the brain known as the Intellectual Organs is con posed of the following organs, seventeen on each side or thirty-four in all: Consistency. Individuality, Form, Size, Weight, Color, Order, Calculation, Locality, Eventuality, Time. Tune, Language, 55 Casual ity. Comparison, Human Nature and Agree.-ibleness. The larger the Intellectual or- gans the larger the front part of the brain, and the distance will be greater from the ears to the front part of the brain ; there will be more of the gray brain and it will be deeper in the front part of the brain than in a person where the Intellect- ual organs are smaller, and where some of the organs are larger than others then the brain will extend farther forward in front of the ears, and the brain on the side of the intellectual organs will be wide. Where an organ is large there will more of the gray brain than when it is small. The Intellectual organs give the talent to be in- telligent and wise and the 1 power to understand and explain complicated affairs and to study all branches' of learning and all the branches of sciences that are to be studied, such as mathe- matics, philosophy, &c ; it gives the power of understanding to classify, arrange and improve things in an intelligent way; it gives the ability to go out into new fields and study up, invent and discover great, good and wonderful things that God has prepared for us. These organs are large in all great intellectual people; they were very large (or figure 10) in President Garfield. With >ut these organs, or the intellect, we would be nearly idiotic even if the other parts of the brain would be well developed The larger the intellectual organs the greater the intelli- gence if properly cultivated. People should not use these organs in reading trashy or foolish novels, but should only use them for improve- ment and advancement of yourself and others in all that is great and good, whether in small or large things We should get reading of the 56 very best kind in natural, moral and religions philosophy and keep your mind only on things that are pure, elevating, cheerful and of real value. It would b? an excellent thing if people would join in an educational school or department, like the Lake Chautauqua educational school. They will send excellent books to all parts of the country and will start you in any kind of studies that you seem to be adapted to and according to your edu- cation, and they will give you directions how to educate yourself the same as if you were in school, right at your home or wherever you may be, at but little cost as compared to some other unnecessary and wrong things that some indulge in. If some people would spend their money in this way for ed- ucation instead of spending it for tobacco, liquor and novel papers, they might be good, and useful people and have real true enjoyment and educa- tion. Save your money and educate yourself. Literary, Historical and Oratorical Organs. The Literary and Historical organs are that part of the intellect that are located on the sides of the middle front part and in the center and across the middle part of the forehead between the eyebrows and the top of the forehead. They consist of Lan- guage, Eventuaity, Time and Tune. The other organs gather and remember information and events and can commit very rapidiy and can teU to others what they know themselves; gives them the power to recall things readily whenever wanted. This part of the brain gives ;i person the talent to repeat a great many things word for word just as they heard or read them, and can often teil things really better than they know or can do them- selves; gives a love of music and the literary de- 57 partments, give the talent to be well informed in dates and happenings and to have all they know on the end of their tongue ready to slide off at any moment when needed. These organs are not adapted to deep, hard, studies and sciences such as philosophy, logic, mathematics or any thing that takes deep, hard planning and reasoning and they do not give practical talent and knowledge to know the quality of things. Persons with these organs moderate will be weak in literature, his- tory, dates, oratory, music, memory and will lack that brilliant and quick off-hand way of telling- things and at any moment, but if the other parts of the brain are well developed, cultivated and di- rected would know more in other directions and would not be able to talk freely to others about the subjects. Observing and Practical Organs. These organs are located around the eyes and in the eyebrows. They are Form, Individuality, Size, Weight, Color, Order, Calculation and Local- ity. The larger these organs are the farther for- ward will they extend over the eyes These or- gans give the ability and desire to observe things, to gain knowledge by observation, practice and ex- perience and gives the talent to excel in the nat- ural and common sciences in a practical way; gives the talent to learn the kind and quality of things by observation and practical experience, also to re- member well what they have seen or practiced or whatever they may be interested in, that is if prop- erly cultivated and directed. These organs when not properly directed in persons they are too much given to peeping and looking into things that are out of place and have too much of a prying nature 58 and take too nrueh notice of little trifling things of no value. These do not give the talent to study philosophy and the higher "branches or literary, history. &c. If these organs are small yoa will be slow to gather knowledge by observation and prac- tical expeiience, if the other intellectual organs are small. The Original and Logical Organs. These organs are located in the upper part of the forehead, and consist of the following: Orig- inality, Human Nature and Comparison. These organs give the talent for reason, philosophy, logic, theory, comparisons, chemistry and the power to learn and understand the higher branches of study. These organs are large in great original planners and thinkers and people who excel in the higher studies When not properly cultivated and directed yoa are too much given to theorizing and thinking without getting into facts and making- things practical. Think and philosophize wisely and truthfully. I have described the intellectual part of the brain very carefully and everybody should use the intellectual organs for studying, investigating, reading and watching things and ways that will make themselves and others wise and good and then use them to the best advantage you know how and not as the fashion is, and then watch carefully to sec what is the best way to find out what is wrong and avoid all such p aces and things and then when you Bee and know what is best and go right to wofk and practice it; that is what bhese organs were given for and remember that if we ►d thou •!)( ni truth everyday, or 365 days 5.9 in a year, and then practice tkein it will improve us greatly. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BRAIN. Some people do not believe in Phrenology be- cause they were taught by people who had formed wrong ideas about Phrenology or the brain before they had time to study the brain and its organs Then there are others who form their first thoughts or ideas of things, and then they think it is just that way and no other way would do. If a per- son does not compare and explain it just right in every particular point, and especially to suit their first thoughts, they will not believe anything. But we must go and see, study, learn and be taught how things are and do not sit down and believe that things are, and must be just as you think, and do not believe everything just because people say so, unless you know who it comes from and where, when and how. Some people say and believe that the brain is ail as one part and has no divisions and separate parts, and they think that a person has to use the whole brain to produce a single thought and that all kinds of studies require all of the brain to be worked alike at the same time; and some people say that because some can learn faster than others is just because they have better health or are more interested in their studies, or they have a larger brain to do more brain work, or they have a better teacher; and some say "why was the brain formed into different parts;" and others say "how can the brain grow in size when the hard bony skull is bound around the brain?" As the brain is divided into different parts or has forty-two organs, if we would use some parts or organs more than oth- ers those parts would grow larger and then the skull would have to grow larger at those places, and how could it grow larger in one part than in other paits. Some say they notice people with large brains that are not as quick minded or bril- liant and could not do as much brain work as some with smaller brains. I will explain how the differ- ent parts of the brain produce different thoughts and ideas, and will give you some good reasons why the brain is not all worked at the same time produce a single thought. We see some people that are very good in mathematics and are very poor in history and would be very slow in learning- it even when they try as hard to learn history as to learn arithmetic. If the brain is not divided into different parts to do different kinds of brain work, how does it come that some people under- stand and learn some things very quick and other tilings they learn very slow. If all parts of the brain has to be worked for every thought and idea and every different kind of study and if it is ail alike then why could we not all get interested and learn one kind of study as well as another. Some people go insane in some things and in other ways they are bright and clear If the brain was all one it would all be affected alike and they could not produce good sound thoughts on any subject, Some people who have been injured in the fore- head or front pari of the brain they would loose some pari of their knowledge or be weaker in mind and in sonic tilings and in other ways they would be as clear as ever. As an illustration we will take (he history a captain in the army in the lah' cuii war. Before going to the army he was a 61 carpenter and during a charge in battle he was struck in the forehead and stunned. Shortly af- terward he was returned and worked at his old vo- cation and became comfortably fixed in life. Nine years afterward he went on a trip to the Northern seas and accidentally fell overboard into the cold water and when they pulled him up he looked wildly around and exclaimed: "Where is my com- pany!" thinking that he was still on the battle-field and was in the fight. And his companions could hardly convince him that it was nine years since he was in the war — thus you see there was nine years of his life a total blank while some of his fac- ulties were as clear and good as ever. Some say, why was the brain so formed that different parts do different kinds of brain work ? I think one reason is that if we get injured in one part of the brain we would not loose all of our mind We might get our mechanical organs injured or de- stroyed then of course we couid not become a me- chanic, but we might have other organs left unin- jured. If so, then we would be able to do other business and work or follow different kinds of pro- fessions. If the brain was all one part and had to be worked or exercised at the same time to pro- duce a single thought or to study any one kind of study, then when we would change from one kind of study, business, or scenery, or change from one subject to another, what benefit would it be to the brain to change studies or any kind of brain work or thoughts if the brain was all one part; in that case the brain would all be worked alike and it would not get any more rest at one kind of study than at another, so what good would it do us to have a change of mind or study. But the different parts of the brain do different kinds of work and 62 produce different thoughts, so we can study math- ematics or arithmetic awhile and rest the other or- gans or part of the brain, and then when the math- ematical organs get tired or are worked enough we can take up some other kind of study of a different character so we can give the mathematical organs a rest. This is another reason why the brain was made of different parts, so we could rest one or- gan while we are working another part. And if the brain was all as one part then when you was studying mathematics all of your brain would get tired and would need rest and it would be injur- ious to the brain to take up some other study and work the whole brain continually; and if it was all one part it would be just as tired and overworked at one study as another if you would change stud- ies. There are some positions in life that require all parts of the brain to be worked hard, es- pecially if some of the organs are very small. When the brain is all tired or worked very hard a change of brain work does no good and we do not feel like doing any kind of brain work, but want to rest the brain by not studying, by keeping quiet and calm and sleeping awhile, and then when we get the whole brain rested Ave can start in fresh again When we use nearly all the nerves, mus- eles and bones of the body or the whole body to do some kind of hard work the whole body gets tired and of course the whole body needs rest, and a change of work would only rest the parts of the 1) >dy not being exercised and some other i>arts of the body would not get rested unless they would i i dghi easy work. If we walk fast and get our and lower parts <>i our body tired we can rest >wer parte of our body by silting down to kinds of work- in which we would be using 63 our arms aiid chest or upper parts our body. When we use one part of the body awhile until it gets tired, and then if we use some other part of the body we rest that part that was tired; and if the body was all one part, like some people say the brain is, then ail the parts of the body would be worked alike and one part would be as tired as another part and what good would a change of work or exercise of the body be, because if our legs were tired we could not rest them by sitting down and working our arms, if the body was ad one part When some phrenologists and other people are asked why the brain was not made by God ad in one part and they can not give any reason why, then they think there is nothing in phrenology, but that is no proof. We have lungs, heart, stomach, etc., but tell me why all of them were not formed as one part to do all kinds of work. Or why was not the heart, lungs and stom- ach all made as one to digest the food, circulate the blood and do the breathing; and tell me why that all things were not made as one kind to pro- duce all things from one kind of material; and why does not a cherry tree produce all kinds of fruits; why does not a corn stalk produce different kinds of grain; why was not the elephant made to jump and leap like the rabbit God in his wisdom made all these things in different parts and ways and we must take them as they are and not as we think and believe they ought to be The skull grows in size to suit the size of the brain; just as the ribs, breast-bone, shoulders and back-bone grow in length and size to suit the lungs and heart. The bones at the -joints have a cup at the end of one of the bones and the other bone that is jointed or joined to it has a rounding 64 surface or ball on the end of it to fit in the cup of the other bone; now the cup and ball is small when the animal or person is young, but when they get older the cup and ball become larger; now we see that the cup or hollow in the end of one of the bones will have to grow larger to let the ball in the cup as it grows larger. Now we see plainly that the hollow in the end of one bone grows larger and gives the ball of the other bone plenty of room to work in. So that is the way with the skull, it grows larger just as the brain needs room. Then if you take a very young child and measure its bi ain then measure its brain every six or twelve mouths until the age of 18 or 20 years and you will see that the brain is increasing in size ali the time, and you will see that the skull will grow lar- ger as the brain grows larger to give it the room that is needed The skull will grow larger in some parts than in others. If you cultivate the front part of your brain the most, the skull will grow tiie most at that place, and the same way with all paa Is of the bj ain. Now reader look at the differ- ent shaped brains and see the different characters. God has made the laws of the body and brain to be just as they are, and we have to learn how to use and train them for the good of ourseives and others. Remember that God's Jaws and regula- tions move right onward and if we do not follow we will get leit behind in whatever we negiect; His Jaws are like liis time — they wait on no per- son; so reap while the harvest is here We often people with large brains but they do not make much headway in ail their lite and do not have much power of mind in any direction; their brains may be diseased, or they may have diseases of the body, or uughl have too much of the Lymphatic 05 temperament which will make the body and brain more soft and weak, or some of the other tempera- ments may not be property combined, or they may not be eating the proper kind of food, or may not be taking the proper care of themselves and may not be properly educated and directed, and there aa-e other causes. Some people may have large brains and a power of mind and understanding in some direction or other, and may not get around very much to get much honor and name — some people have more honor and name than brains. We see some people who have large brains who do not seem to be doing much, but after while we see them come out with some great invention or im- provement or they may manifest themselves with great power when once prepared. If a person happens to get hurt by a fall or blow on the right half of the brain and thereby one or more organs are destroyed or injured, he can go on with his studies, teachings, or profes- sion with the same kind of organs that are not hurt on the left side of the brain — just the same as if one has his right hand cut off he can use his left hand to lift things with. I take this as a necessary provision in nature, the brain being divided into two parts and having two organs of each kind - so if a person gets the Mathematical organ injured on one-half ot the brain he can use the organ on the other half of the brain and go on with his mathematics, unless he received such a heavy fall or blow as to injure the whole brain. Some people say "Why is it that the largest brains do not always do the most brain work?" Neither do the people with the largest bodies do the most physical labor, nor does the largest stom- 6G ach digest the most. The largest brain is not al- ways the healthiest and strongest, neither are the largest lungs the healthiest and strongest: and a person with a large brain may have too much of the Lymphatic temperament and then cannot do as much brain work as a person with a full sized brain; or the person may have the Coarse Grained temperament strongly marked, with a large brain, if so they could not do as much brain work as a person with a full sized brain with a Fine Grained temperament. A person with excitability and ac- tivity weak with a large brain would be too slow and would not be warmed and stirred up enoughs or they may not be eating the right kind of food or may not be taking proper care of their health in other ways or they may not have been well trained and directed in the way of their best tal- ents; and then we have people with large brains, who have great brain power and have given to the world some great and good thoughts and did great and good works, which were done by their largo and well cultivated and prepared brains and could not have been done with an average sized brain no difference what the training, health and tem- peraments would be Then it must be remembered that a person with a small or nearly idiotic brain could not be as great as President Garfield, Ben- jamin Franklin, Daniel Webster or President Cleveland no difference under what circumstances. A person with a largo or very large brain cannot do everything at every place; they may have a powerful understanding and talent, but still there are things which they cannot accomp ish Ail the people put together cannot accomp ish or change some tilings, and therefore we must not expect one person to accomplish them The more the brain (57 . is cultivated in the higher studies the higher and purer will be the thoughts, and the better a per- son obeys the health laws, the more rapidly the parts or whole brain will grow in size and strength if a person is not too old If a person is over 25 or 30 years old then the brain or some parts of it will not often get larger, but will grow more active, compact and of a finer quality. The more the brain is cultivated the thinner the skull gets. You take savage, wild or barbarous people like the In- dians or lower classes of negroes in Africa and their skulls are from three to five times as thick as our best moral and refined people. Then if only one organ is cultivated the most that part of the skull over that organ will be the thin- nest and the skull will get larger for that part of the brain to grow. The skull is something similar to a hornets nest in this respect; as the organs of the brain need room the skull wears away on the inside and grows on the outside, just like the hor- nets do with their nest, as they want room they take off the inside of their nest and build on the outside. I have seen some persons that some or- gan or organs of their brain would increase one figure in size by properly training themselves from 15 months to 2 years time, and this will be seen P-ainly in the best schools in the South where some phrenologists and others have measured the brains of negroes. In the last ten years their brains have increased rapidly, but not in all parts, some parts of the brain growing faster than oth- ers. I mean those that were willing and tried to do the best they could, but others who would not try much to improve themselves there was but lit- tie change m their sku^s. The brain has furrows ox convolutions in the gray part and are filled. 68 with a liquid in color and thickness something similar to milk, and are deeper and greater in num- ber in people than in animals and are deeper in well educated, temperate and civilized nations than m wild and barbarous people. The larger the brain the deeper the furrows if properly cultivated. The larger the brain the deeper the gray part, so the furrows can dip down deeper in the brain as a person cultivates it. Take a person with the brain of full size, who is well educated in everything that improves them, will have the furrows deeper than a person with a full sized brain who does not cultivate himself much. The furrows never dip deeper than the gray part of the brain, are rather shallow hi animals and about the same depth all over the brain, but in man they vary greatly in depth; in some parts of the brain they are deep and in others they are shallow, just as the size and cultivation is. This is another ' proof of phrenol- ogy- The animals are only capable of cultivating one part of the brain very little more than another, but man can cultivate an organ or set of organs more than another. If a person has an evenly devel- oped brain and all parts cultivated alike the fur- rows will be of about the same depth; then if a person would get to studying and working at ma- chinery most of the time the mechanical organs of the brain would have deeper furrows than others. Now if the brain was not divided into organs hov» could one part of the brain nave deeper furrows than another* The deeper the convolutions the thinner the skull generally is at different parts in the same person -a hen caused by cultivation. The deeper and greater the number of furrows the '■ brain fluid they contain and the more brain Face there will be; so the more brain fluid and the 69 greater the brain surface there is the greater amount of brain work can be done. The right half of the brain governs the left half or side of the body and the left half of the brain governs the right side of the body; this is because the nerves cross over to the right side of the body from the left side of the brain; whenever the left half of the brain is paralyzed the right half of the body is paralyzed; likewise with the right side of the brain. Either half of the brain is liable to the same disease. The left half of the brain is generally larger than the right half ; that is the reason the right half of our bodies is stronger and from 3 to 8 pounds heavier than the left half, and this is an- other proof that a large sized brain is not injuri- ous to a small body, but is favorable to any sized body if properly cultivated and directed. If a full or large brain is injurious to an average or small body, then why would not the left half of the brain by being larger cause the right side of the body to be the weakest (see page 26). It has been noticed that if people got neuralgia of the brain they would loose that knowledge and thought that comes from that part of the brain that was affected; then as soon as the pain left them their knowledge and thought would return. Then sometimes an organ becomes diseased on one side of the brain and they would go right on with their work with the organ on the other side of the brain. Now as an illustration to prove that the brain is not all in one part, but is divided into separate or- gans, (to which I referred in former pages) we will take for example George Comb, the Phrenolo- ogist, who studied the multipication table seven years and could not master it, had a large brain and a fine grained temperament. Some people 70 who do not believe in phrenology might say "look at that large brain, it cannot do much;" bat the trouble was that Comb was using that part of his brain which was small, (see page 39 but see how rapidly he advanced in phrenology and moral 'and religious philosophy. If the brain was all in one part, why couid he not have advanced in arithme- tic when he studied just as hard? 71 TKADES AND PROFESSIONS IN A SCALE FROM 1 to 10. MECHANICAL ARTS.

Figure 1 indicates very poor development and that you are hardly able to do the simplest part of any work assigned to you, while figure 2 indicates an improvement over figure 1, and so on with each figure to the figure 10, which indicates the highest state of development attainable. When the figure 10 is used it indicates that you are remarkably refined, have lofty aspirations, and if industrious you will become one of the very best at your trade or profession. People are not born with a complete trade or profession. They are generally born with good bodies and brains. To become good at some trade or profession they must form good habits and work under good teachers and apply themselves diligently to the work before them, and before set- ting themselves up in business they must be thor- ough masters of their trade or profession. A person must remember and take particular no- tice where they are marked for a trade or profes- sion and the kind and what place or part of that trade or profeession they are best adapted to Suppose a person had a very coarse grained tem- perament he could not do fine work and finish by his own knowledge or talent; then if he was )] larked for a mechanic he must remember that would mean ;i mechanic at the coarse or rougher parts of the work, such as making common farm wagons and doing the rougher repairing, building common bains, farm work, &o. Then if you were marked for a mechanic and had a line grained tem- perament you could work at the fine work and do the finishing part and would advance rapidly. When von are marked for a business, see if it is a 75 a wholesale or retail, then you should look to the circumstances, location and different other things. Suppose a person would start up a business at a certain place and the people there did not use what he dealt in, then he would fail in that local- ity, or some one else might have got the start. Some people have advanced rapidly and were do- ing well and then failed after a time, and the rea- son was that they lacked the proper organs or health; but with others it was dishonesty and drinking, and others have met with debt and differ- ent complications in' business. Some people have organs to be expert at only one or two things, while others have the organs to become good at quite a number of trades and professions, also good at different kinds of work and would be handy people in most places. Some persons have the organs to become good at different things, but their temperaments are of such a com- bination and their excitability and activity so weak that they cannot work, study and think rapidly. Such persons should not have many things to see to at a time and should have plenty of time to do them. Such persons should make a special study of one kind of work for life, as life is too short for slow people to become good at many things. Some persons are slow bat true in their work. There are other people with small brains who are slow, do their work poorly and are not adapted to fine and correct work. Remember that the very best of people are liable to fail under some circum- stances and will make a few mistakes sometimes; but people with large brains will move right on at something, generally Some persons are good at certain kinds of trades, professions and work, but they have not the good management: that is, they 70 may have every part of their trade well learned but they could not manage or oversee the work. Such persons should work under good managers. There are others who are poor workmen but would make good overseers and managers; then there are still others that are good at both. There are peo- ple who are rather poor in everything; if such per- sons are put under good teachers to show them how to do their work and help them to do the difficult and particular parts, they can be made useful in different ways and may be able to do a great deal of work. A person may have a good brain to be a contractor, builder, business man, manufacturer or overseer; if he has a mechani- cal brain he would be a good contractor, builder, manufacturer or business man in mechanics. Tl a person had a poorly developed brain for farm- ing then be would not be good to oversee and manage a farm. Most people when they change from one occupation to another they often get tired and give it up, supposing that they were not adapted to that occupation that they had wished to follow and seemed to be well adapted to. There arc; different, reasons for this, and 1 will explain some of them. Often thefirst thing is that th< i work is so much different from what they had been doing that before they were accustomed to their new work they became dis- couraged and went hack to their old place; hut that does not prove that they would not have made a success at their new place. Now if a person is better adapted to a trade or profession than that which he is at he must expeel it to go a little hardat ins new place at first, especially if there is much difference in the occupations. A person may have a brain and body better 77 adapted to education than wood chopping or stone cutting. If a person had always worked at wood chopping or stone cutting it would go very hard with him at first if he took up education. This means that peopJe who have properly de- veloped brains and temperaments can become so. There are other people who are adapted to certain trades and professions, but by being where they were confined too much their health failed and they had to quit, but afterward they got into places where their health was better cared for and then they did well. If scholars would be reading, writing or studying and keeping their minds employed in good studies and thoughts before they would start to school during their vacations it would help them greatly, as they would have their minds partly broken in to go to work, because if they do not look over their studies during a vacation it will take a week or more to get to where they quit their studies. Just the same as a person who was following a profession and in some future time expecting to be a farmer ; now if the person, when he had an idle hour, would practice using tools and differ- ent kinds of implements it would help greatly to toughen his hands to work on the farm and they would not blister near so easily ; he would also have his muscles strengthened and would not tire so easily, by having -the muscles partly trained. So that is the way w T ith a person going to school or at different trades or professions; if a person takes an interest in his occupation and continues to study right along when he has time, whether he is employed at his occupation or not, his mind will be better adapted to go back to work. So reader, if you 78 change from one place to another and know that you are better adapted to the latter, stick right to your place and go right on, if you don't feel satisfied at first. As an illustration ; there was a young gentleman of my acquaintance who worked at a mechanical trade and did very well, but went into the clothing business, and at first he felt discouraged and restless because he did not have the same kind of exercise for his body, and felt like going back to his trade ; but he was urged to stick to his new place until he would get used to it and understand his business. He did so, and after awhile he began to like it bet- ter than his old trade, and succeeded better. We should watch, cultivate ourselves and oth- ers well in religion, morality, good habits, health, cleanliness, good management, industry, edu- cation, good common sense and leave all kinds of drinks alone that will intoxicate, but above all things is a good, moral and religious charac- ter. Then the second important part of our training should be in cultivating the largest or- gans of our brains the most and keep them well directed, that is the organs for work, trades and professions, and do not take much valuable time in cultivating your weak or small organs, that is for trades, professions ind different kinds of work. Suppose a person had the organs of the brain well developed tor a mechanic and had the organs lor history small; now if the person would use his mechanical organs they would make rapid progress, that is if they were well cultivated and directed, and would do a great amount of labor and do it well, would be able to command good, high wages so that he ^<>iiM make «i goon living and lay awav money 79 besides for a home, sickness and old age, also for the help of others in time of need ; and there- fore by using the larger organs of the brain you would be able to do more and better work for the people and earn more for yourself. Now suppose a person had the mechanical organs well developed and the historical part of his brain was small or moderate and would have followed the study of history for a living and left the mechanical organs be idle ; see what a difference. The person would have studied hard and made slow progress and could not have ad- vanced in the higher parts and would hardly be able to make a living even in times of prosper- ity, and then would have nothing left for old age, sickness, &c. ; he would have studied too hard and would have over-taxed that weaker part of the brain, would not have cultivated the other parts of the brain and would not have had time to rest, sleep and obey the health laws rightly. Take, for instance, George Comb. He studied seven years at the multiplication table and could not master it; now if he would have followed mathematical pursuits for a living see how slow he would have advanced, and would likely have starved to death or would have earned such small wages, would have had to study hard and would not have time to change "studies and thoughts for a change of mind and the improve- ment of himself; in other words, he would not have been able to do enough work in figures to enable him to live well and help benefit other people. He would not have been as well con- tented as if he would have been using his larger organs. Mr. Comb changed from mathematics to physiology, phrenology and moral and relig- 80 ious philosophy, in which he advanced very rap- idly, and after a few years began to teach and write and became one of the best learned and one of the best teachers of his day ; he wrote four books on his studies and became quite wealthy. Now see what a great difference with the same person with equal opportunities, except that in the first start he used the small organ and in the second he used the large organs ; he did a great amount of good and could accomplish a great deal in a short time so then he would have plenty of time to study different other things for a change of mind if necessary, and have time to cultivate and strengthen the smaller organs, and to eat, rest and sleep. So you can easily see if a person uses the largest organs the most and keeps them properly directed that it would . be the best ; but if an organ is large or small, a person should keep it properly directed, and whatever kind of work a person does with an organ or organs, whether it or they be large or small, let it be something that is beneficial and good and by using the larger organs of your brain you can advance so much faster at what- ever you are at, do more in a shorter space of time and be bettter contented, as the larger the organs the greater the enjoyment, or the more a person will he interested, if the organs are prop- erly cultivated and directed, Mr. Comb tried as hard to Btudy the multiplication table with Jalculation small as he did t> study the other branches he advanced so rapidly, hut he was not near so well contented at the multiplication table as the other studies. A person with the mechanical organs small does not enjoy him" self with a mechanical trade or with machinery 81 as well as persons with large mechanical organs ; if the organ of language is small a person will not like to talk just for the sake of talking as well as one with full or large Language and will not be so well contented, and so on all through. A WISE FARMER. There was a man in New York who had worked at a trade and laid away, a nice little sum of money, and being desirous of becoming a farmer he came to Ohio and hired tor low wages to a very good farmer in order to learn how to buy a farm and farm it successfully. When he had learned how to farm well, he got his money, bought a farm and is now one of the best of farm- ers. Now the advantage of being under a good teacher may readily be seen when a person is in- dustrious and is willing to. learn and is adapted to the work or study they are at. People had better think of this man if they want to be suc- cessful farmers. MOVING UPWARD. We will take two men for instance: one will not improve and advance while working only at every day work at $1.50 a day ; counting 300 working days in a year it would amount to $450. a year; in 20years^it would b'3 $9,000 and in 40 years it would be 318,000. I am counting from 21 years of age up to 61. Now we will take the ■ other man ; he will learn a trade, cultivate him- self well and will advance. We will start him at 21 years of age at 75 cents a day for the first year which would amount to 3225; the second year at $1 a day would be $800: the third year 82 at $1.50 a day would be $450; the fourth year at $2 a day would be $600 ; the fifth year at"$2.50 a day would be $750; now at 26 years of age he has his trade finished and the wages in that time would amount to $2,325, then he will have 35 years to work until he is 61 years old. He will now get $2.50 a day or $750 a year, which in 35 years will amount to $26,250 and plus 12,325 the amount while learning the trade, makes the amount $28,275. The ~ommon laborer earns $18,000, the one with a trade $28,32$, a difference of $10,575, which would buy a nice farm for old age. Then low wages are beneficial *-o persons starting in life while young as it learns them how to live on a small income, keeps them from forming so many bad habits, learns them better how to appreciate their high wages and how to take care of them better. Reader, cultivate yourself well for the benefit of yourself and oth- ers, do better work and you will be able to get better wages and use them for good purposes. This will apply as well to girls and women for professions and housekeeping, as the woman is worth just as much as the man to advance things. The better we learn to do our work the more it will strengthen our minds and the more we will enjoy ourselves at our work. CHANGE OF THOUGHT. When a person needs a change of thought, reading or any kind of study, or a change of mind to rest some part oi the brain, then they should have thoughts, reading or studies that are adapted to the parts or organs of the bruin thai were testing so thai a person can he increas- ing, improving and strengthening the organs 83 that needed rest, and when they become worked enough then change to others that have been resting ; but when our brain is in the right con- dition we do not need a change of mind and can continue longer on one study or thought than when we are sick or have an over-worked brain- Children should have frequent changes of stud- ies. Whf n a person makes these changes of thought or study they should be made to something ele- vating and useful and which will bring good and true happiness and contentment Do not have anything to do with that which is low, degrading and sinful. We see that the savage and heathen and often civilized people have a change of thought as well as any other class of people, and yet we see that they cannot do any great brain work because they do not have their brains em- ployed in those thoughts or studies which will instruct, improve or elevate. It is said that the brain of the savage and heathen is on the de- crease where they are neglected by the higher class of people. Now reader, if you have made a mistake like Mr. Comb and many others, do as he did — change as quick as circumstances will allow. INSANITY AND DIET. It is generally said when persons go insane while they are going to school or are studying that they studied too hard, but that is generally a mistake. If the most of such people would have understood and obeyed the health laws they could have done two or three times the amount of brain work they had done and have clear and strong minds There are people who M are careful in their habits, eat good nourishing foods, are careful when and how they eat them, take the proper amount of sleep and they are care- ful not to fret and worry and they are doing an immense amount of brain work and are generally clear minded in old age. We will take for illustration a young man who was attending college in New York: he attended about five months and came home with a weak body and brain and said he had studied too hard which caused his mind to become weak; and if he would have continued long in his studies he would have become deranged or insane. The young man thought he was not adapted to study: but he hap- pened to get acquainted with a good phrenologist and physiologist, who understood education and health well; he examined the young man's brain and saw that he had a brain and combination of temperaments adapting him to be an excellent scholar ; he inquired into the } 7 oung man's diet and was told that he generally ate fried cakes with plenty of grease and molasses over them and Buet cakes and pork, and was told bis studios and how far he had advanced in them; he then told the young man that the trouble was in his diet and that he had not studied too hard. He advised him to eat plenty of nutricious foods and mostly of food for the brain and he would have a strong mind and body. He advised him t;> us;' plenty <>i' oatmeal, graham flour, eggs, fish, milk, fruits, lean meats and no pork nor much sweet victua. s. 1 bis was in tim month of May; he obeyed it at once and worked on a farm until October, or live months time; he bee rong and healthy and gained ti/t.'i M ]> >unda in weight and what time in the <-• e aing he studied he said he learned more in five 85 months on the farm than during the same time in college. The young man started to college in Oc- tober and said he was not much afraid of studying too hard if he would simply obey the health laws. A person may have a strong and healthy horse, but if you only feed it straw it will not be able to do heavy and hard work and to stand much fast driving. People who are not healthy and bright should try this young man's plans. Use no fermented liquors as they do not strengthen the brain, and do not enable the brain to produce greater, deeper and higher thoughts, but only intoxicate and fire the brain to wear it out with more flashy thoughts and will help to send jou to the insane asylum. No one should think of going to college and expect to advance very rapidly unless they have cultivated their brain well in different branches of studies before starting to college in order that the brain will be trained and strengthened to move right on with the stud- ies without straining the brain like manydo in the start. TIME. Time is something that is very important to consider. Some people are spending 3 hours a day in idleness or in places that cause misery and sin, where if properly spent would bring education, good living and happiness. Three hours a day amount to 939 hours or 39 days in one year; in 10 years it amounts to 6,390 hours or 391 days over, one year ; in 20 years it amounts to IS, 780 hours or 78'2 days or over two years ; in 30 years it-amounts to 28,170 hours or 1,173 day.-*, over three years; in 40 years it amounts to 37, 560 hours or 1,565 days, over 4 years ; in 50 86 years it amounts to 46,950 hours or 156 days, over 5 years ; in 60 years it amounts to 523,430 hours or 2,309 days, over 6 years ; this is count- ing 24 hours for a day, then he would gain 6 years day and night combined; counting 12 hours a day it would be over 12 years. Take care of the hours and minutes and the days and years will take care of themselves. Some people who say they are not rich enough and have not time enough had better think of this. TOBACCO. Tobacco is another thing worth writing about. The tobacco habit is one that is not necessary or cleanly and takes a great deal of trouble and money to keep it going. It does not make peo- ple drunk, boisterous and crazy as liquors do, and we see many good and nice people use to- bacco, but if they would not use tobacco they would have more money to use for things which are good and useful, in fact anything that will elevate and ma .e a person better and happier. If the money and time that is used for tobacco would be used for bathing and baching places we would have more cleanliness, better health and the majority of the ladies would be happier. Tobacco contains nicotine, which is a poisonous alkaloid of a very acrid taste 'and numbs and weakens the nerves and brain ; that is the reason why smokers a chewers get the toothache so much. Chewers can wear the teeth down to the gums and not have the toothache, because the nicotine deadens the nerves of the teeth ; and that is the reason why people feel more calm af- ter smoking or chewing, (-specially after meals, as it numbs the nerves which should be strong 87 and active in order to promote digestion. When you do work with your hands you do not want them to be numb and your stomach should be like your hands. We will take persons who spend 5 cents a day for smoking and chewing ; this amounts to $18.25 a year ; 10 years, $182.50 ; 20 years, $365 ; in 40 years, $730 ; without inter- est* Tobacco is not only a habit but a fashion that is followed even more close than in fashions of dress. Reader, if you use tobacco stop the habit by taking one less smoke and chew a day or quit at once by making a determination that you will quit and wear out your appetite, and continue thinking how much better it will be for j r ou and have your mind on thingsjthat are good and elevating. MORPHINE, OPIUM, &C. Morphine, opium and cocoa should never be used except in severe cases and in surgery; because they create a stronger habit than anything in ex- istence, but can be overcome if rightly understood. Dr. Danelson, of New York City, has had a great deal of experience with people who use morphine, and he says the best way is to quit at once. He says it takes a hard struggle to overcome it and thinks there is no danger of any person dying by quitting at once if they would use very bitter ton- ics to help brace up the system, These opiates deaden and numb the nerves and stupefy the brain, the latter being injured the most they are therefore very destructive to a clear and strong mind. If a person with the morphine habit would use pepsin and hydrastin at meal time and eat principally of brain foods with, plenty of lemons and oranges and bathe and rub the body vigorously to 88 open the pores will help greatly. Some doctors are to blame for inducing the morphine habit. With some people morphine, opium and cocoa is injurious to the system even in small doses — a small dose stunts the brain a little— just the same as fermented liquors — a little intoxicates a little. Reader beware of these habits and never form them: if once formed, stop at once. LIQUOR When some people become discouraged, despond- ent or angry at any one they proceed to get drunk and degrade themselves and are often abusive to good people. Good moral courage is far better than drunkenness. Some people say that if we would have pure liquor like we used to have or like they have in the Old Country it would not make them so crazy If that is the case, what do they drink our poor liquor for? What do the peo- ple'call pure liquor? Is it when they take grains and fruits, cook, sour and ferment them and Lave 1 the government stamp them pure? But that does not make the fruit juices and grain essence healthy just because the government stamps it and the physicians and people say so. We have pure paris green, but is it healthy? No: it is a deadly poison. Some say liquor is like food: you mu^t not take too much, but that is a*mistake; if a per- son takes fermented liquors in small quantities it will fire them up a little and cause a little habit and the more they drink the more they arc fired up and the stronger the appetite gets, even to death and old age if not stopped. When people ea1 healthy food and only cat a little foodall along fchey have a very strong appetite for more food and cat with a very keen appetite and old age the 89 appetite for food gets weaker. People cannot do without food and water, but they can do without fermented drinks and be healthier and have bet- ter characters. A person who does not use fer- mented liquors will not have an appetite for them. If a person uses no food and water they will soon have a terrible appetite. There are things that are not fit for people in small or large quantities; paris green is not good even in small doses; if you take a small dose of paris green you will be pois- oned a little and a large dose will kill you and the same way with liquor a small amount will intoxi- cate a little and creates a little habit and a person who drinks a large amount gets greatly intoxicated. I do not want the fruits, grains, meats or any- thing that I eat or drink to be fermented or cooked up for me; I want to eat the grains and fruits with- out fermenting Our hearts generally beat from 70 to 80 times a minute which is about right for health. Some people dress light in cold weather and say they do not need many clothes to keep them warm; then they will drink fermented liquors to cause their hearts to beat 100 times a minute in order to cause a rapid circulation to keep them warm, while they are running the life out of their hearts and get a bad habit and a boisterous nature. Why not put on more clothes and keep the heat in the body and save their hearts, money and character. Then again they say we need a little pure fermented liquor to give us a good, keen appetite and still they say we are a set of gluttons Sure enough that would be nice to give us greater appetites so that we would be greater gluttons. Some people use liquor to get a bloated body and then chew to- bacco to spit the fat and bloat off and get an empty 90 pocketbook, a poor character and snakes in the bargain. So reader do not take the first glass and then you will not be troubled with the second. Some people say they can easily quit drinking because they have been moderate and regular drinkers; but they often get deceived. There was a gentleman in Ohio who was a regu- lar but only a moderate drinker. A gentleman told him that a person should not use any intoxi- cating liquors in any form, and said that it created a bad habit in any person who used it and that it would get the upper hand of them before they were aware of it. This regular and moderate drinker said that he could easily quit and that it was only people who were weak in mind who could not easily quit. The gentleman then told him to quit drinking for two weeks. He agreed, for, he said, it was easy for him to quit. At the end of two weeks the gentleman visited him and inquired how he had been getting along with his appetite The moderate drinker replied that it was the hard- est struggle he ever had and that he never thought that his appetite was so strong and vowed that he would never touch liquor again. If drinkers wish to know how their appetites are they should fol- low this man's example. PROFITS. Any person who is at anything that improves, elevates and makes people healthier, wiser and bet- ter should be well paid for their work, and things that are sinful, degrading and uncleanly we should have nothing to do with, but should cultivate a good character and save his money for good and useful things and give people good profits for them. A manufacturer can make good farming 91 utensils and machinery and he should have profits and still the farmer can buy them and be greatly benefitted. A book publisher could publish a good book for $2 and sell it for .$2.50 to the book dealers or agents and they would sell it for $3 to some person who would read and study it and reap great benefit from it that would aid them on in a better and more useful life and to better others and make more for themselves. So it is easily seen that all three could reap profits; and thus it is with all things that are good and useful and with the real necessities of life. But some people will pay immense profits for things to ruin them in character and health and not complain, and then when they have to pay other people good, living- profits for good things they think it is very wrong. Now if any of us think the good and useful ways and profits wrong we should reform and be glad to see people prosper and live well on the good thinks and be happy, useful, wise and good. riches. JVIoney is good if properly used and earned, but it was not the money that improved the United States and the people. It was the people who dug the gold and siiver and made paper and formed them into money to make a more convenient way to exchange things that they manufactured or produced. Some people compJain about the rich trampling the poor down. There is not one tenth as much of that as is talked about. It is the bad people who do the trampling down, it makes no difference if they are rich or poor, high or low. If a person buys a horse of a farm- er it will do him just as much work whether the farmer is rich or poor ; if a person buys food of \Y2 a poor person it will do you as much good and digest as easily as if you had bought it of a rich person. Then on the other hand, if a person buys tobacco, smokes and chews ii, it will cause a person to have just as strong a habit and as much uncleanliness and smoky rooms and air whether it is bought of a rich or poor m;m ; or intoxicating liquors will maka you just as drunk and sinful and deep in poverty and misery when they are obtained of a poor man as from a rich man; or if you buy a good book of a rich man it will do you as much good as when pur- chased of a pour man. and the same with trashy novels and books ; they will do as much harm from one as from the other. So reader, if you get wrecked and have a poor living and culture, be careful whom you blame and where 3 on go and what you buy if you want to get a benefit that gives a person a full, round- ed character. Statistics show that the Irish in Ireland alone have spent money enough for liquor from L865 to 1882 — just 17 years — to buy all t lie land and property that is owned by the English in Ire- land. Just set 1 bow nice the Irish people could have homes if the liquor was only wiped out of Ireland. Hut, nevertheless, there are some very highly cultivated Irish people and some of the great leading men who helped to gain the inde- pendence of this country were moral ami tem- perate I rish. GOOD AM) USEFUL THINGS CHEAP. The good, useful and beautiful things that pro- duces health, education, wisdom, cleanliness, last- in-- happiness, true culture and whatever pertains 93 to the highest and best life are cheap as cheap as compared to the things that produce bad habits, uncleanliness, sickness, sorrow, misery, foolish- ness, sin and death. Take for instance some li- quors that make 70 glasses to the gallon. At 10 cents a glass it costs $7.00 a gallon, and eight gal- lon to the bushel would be $56.00 a bushel spent for liquors, which would buy a man and wife each $15 00 worth of clothes, two barrels, of flour at $5 a barrel, $6 worth of groceries and $10 left for oth- er necessary articles. Or it would buy 56 bushels of wheat from a farmer at one dollar a bushel ; or go to a shoemaker and he will give you 14 pairs of boots at $4 a pair for the $56 00 It takes less than two glasses a day to drink one bushel of liquor a year. Some people will pay the saloon keeper an immense price to tear them down and never wince, but when they can get good and use- ful things cheap from honest'laborers, farmers and business people with which to build themselves up they continually complain about the good people making so much money by charging such high prices. Some people will pay the saloon keeper #100 to tear them down, make them sick, sinful, wretched and abusive to others and never chafe; then if they have to pay a doctor ten dollars to build them up they will complain of the ruinous doctor bills. Then some complain that it is cost- ing our people too much for dress. Our cotton and woolen goods cost us in 1886 $450,000,000, for boots and shoes $200,000,000, and our liquor bill $900,000,000. People can be just as good and healthy with a $50 suit of clothes as with a $5 suit on, but if a person drinks a pint of whisky he will be more intoxicated than a person that only drinks one glass. So a person can easy seo that 94 there is quite a difference in liquor and dress. One bushel of grain makes three gallons of whisky or 210 glasses, and at 10 cents a glass would make $21.00. They will give the farmer fifty cents to one dollar for the grain, and it gives but few men employment to make a large quantity of liquor; the saloon men get three-fourths of the liquor money. If the laboring people want the farmer, manufac- turers and business men to hire them the laborers want to buy goods from them; and the manufactur- ers, farmers and business men want to pay their money to the laborers so they can buy their goods, and by exchanging in this way they benefit and build up one another. Opium and morphine costs twenty-five to thirty dollars per pound and yet some people will smoke opium and take cocaine and morphine and form a miserable habit that costs them a nice little sum of money if indulged in long that could be used for to get good, useful and healthy things to enjoy and bring health and be free from a slavish appe- tite These drugs numbs and deadens the nerves and brain so they will not feel the effects of the disease while it is growing on them. They should get a good sweat, a good hot bath, if possible rub the parts vigorously that are affected and apply elec- tricity in a proper way and strengthen and electri- fy and not numb and weaken the uerves and brain and have a terrible habit. Tobacco, as I have said before, does not make people drunk, boisterous and sinful, but they would be cleaner, healthier and have more money to spend for other things that are beneficial and beautiful. A bushel of cigars or plug tobacco will buy a good nice suit of clothes and will buy a great deal tor the t;il>l<\ II would be best not to gel 95 into a habit and then hold to it so that when your family or yourself need the money for something else you want your tobacco right along and you can not substitute something else that you may have or need that will satisfy the tobacco habit. But if you cannot get oat meal you can use other things and feel satisfied; if a person has no pie or cake you can eat other things that you have and be satisfied; but not so with tobacco. Oh, reader, just think how cheap the good things are as com- pared with tobacco, and how much cleaner and healthier they are to use; and when people produce and sell good things for us we should be willing to pay a good price for them and not give a cent for anything that causes an uncleanly habit. Reader, if you use tobacco just think of this and quit in some way. No matter what people say, you can quit FIRST AND SECOND NATURE. The first nature is born in nearly every child and gives them an appetite for things that are healthy for the body and brain and could also be called a healthy appetite The second nature is very sel- dom born in any child, but is brought on by cul- tivation and contracts habits and things that only lead to a condition that is not natural, and could be called a habit feeling and causes a feverish, ner- vous, fretful or irritable feeling or appetite and sometimes a dull or fiery appetite. We should watch carefully and learn to know the difference between the first and second nature and find out what is a iiabit and a health feeling, and then no- tice how we are deceived if we are not careful of our health I was trained to drink coffee and drank two or 96 three cups of it at a meal until I was 17 years old. . Then I was informed by a doctor that if I would quit drinking coffee my dull headache would leave me, and he said it would be best if people would not drink anything at meals. So I quit at once and the dull sort of a headache left me and I felt better in other ways. But I had got into a habit of chinking at meals which was only the second nature cultivated. Then I did not feel satisfied at meal times because I felt as though I could hardly swallow my food without drinking something im- mediately afterward and then I craved for my cof- fee. But I kept right on without drinking at meal time and in five or six weeks the habit feeling had nearly left me and I felt healthier and was without the second nature or habit feeling Now we're all born with saliva glands to secrete a saliva juice for to help digest our food and mois- ten it. So we could swallow our food without be- ing washed down with fluids that are injurious to the stomach and digestive organs if indulged in too freely while eating our food. I have no ap- petite for coffee any more, so it is easily seen that the coffee habit was not born in me even if my pa- rents and grandparents were great coffee drinkers, but it was only the second nature brought on by me following the customs of people ' Since then I chew my food more and the saliva glands have be- come more active ami How juice freely and mois- tens my food well so it is easily swallowed. Intoxicating liquors are very deceiving; ii makes people believe that it gives them courage, but it blunts the judgment and morals, and puts the road to [lie prisonand insane asylum; it makes them be- lieve they can get rich on poverty; ii makes bhem believe they are going up In!!, hut in rea ity they 97 they are slipping right down into snake hollow. It gets people to think they are liberal and kind heart- ed when they are treating one another, while in re- ality they are losing their homes and half feeding their families. It makes them believe that they must pay an immense price for intoxicating liquors to tear them down so they can complain about peo- ple who give them things cheap to build them up. Suppose we take three persons that are stout and hearty. The first takes liquor, the second takes medicine, the third does not use liquor or medi- cine Then what would we think if at the end of five years the person that was taking medicine would quit taking it and he would feel worse and co aid not work so well as the man that took no medicine: we would say take no more medicine while in health. And why not the same way with liquor? because it leaves our hearty people as well as the weaker people feel worse when they do not get liquor or when they are sobering up than when they began using it. Drinking intoxicated liquors is the second nature established and brought on by people, not born in them, as Adam and Eve were not created to drink fermented liquors and get drunk. Now we see that drunkenness is the second nature not planted in us by God but by ourselves; the first person who got drunk would have no relatives to blame ; they established it themselves. So that is the way with people of to-day; they are not drunkards because their re- lations were drunkards, but it is the same as it was when the first person became intoxicated, they will get drunk because they make up their minds to do so. If you want warm feet give your money to the shoema er and not to the saloon keeper ; if you 98 want your bodies kept warm give your money to the merchants who deal in clothing and not to the saloon keeper; if you want an education and true culture give your money to good teachers and publishers of good and useful books and not to saloon keepers and for wild and trashy reading ; if you want a home give your money to some person who will sell you a home and not to the saloon keeper; then cultivate yourself to know how to take care of it. We should shun all places that hinder us from improving our- selves. FEELINGS AND EFFECTS OF HABITS AND DRINKING. The^ habit feeling should be very carefully and wisely studied by observing our own and the practice and experience of habit feeling in others and compare them to the good and healthy feelings to see how deceiving and differ- ent they are. To illustrate the difference be- tween a healthy and habit feeling we will take A and B. A and B work until they are verv warm. A while in that condition "drinks he water, eats ice cream and lies in a, cool place to cool off quickly. He will feel cool and nice at first and have a good present feeling, but what is the future feeling or health? While B is very warm he cools off gradually by staying out of cool places and is careful 'how and what he dnnks but he does not feel so cool and fresh at first as A did, but in the future he will have a better and healthier feeling. Beware of the present and look to the future. If any person cools off too quickly they are Liable to get a fever, cough, chills, consumption, rheumatism or other diseases, and if rou discover thai vou 99 have cooled off too quickly take a complete bath with cool or warm water, with one or two table- spoonsful of aqua amonia to a gallon of water. Go into a warm room, rub yourself vigorously with your hands or a coarse towel, drink plenty of hot water or lemonade, keep your hands and feet in hot water, keep hot water and clothes around your neck and on your head, apply this treatment the best you can and it may save you from a great deal of sickness. THE STOMACH AND FOOD. Some people think that when they eat pork, boiled cabbage, sauer kraut, and other food, which take four and five hours to digest, it gives them strong muscles, or in other words they say "it sticks to the ribs," but the trouble is it sticks to the stomach too long and causes dys- pepsia, liver complaint and heart disease. The trouble is that some people cannot work very well when their stomach has been empty for two or three hours, then when they eat food that is hard to digest and lies in the stomach four or five hours it keeps the hungry feeling down so they can work better, but after while they find their digestive organs and body weak because they eat indigestive food which would only fur- nish an average amount of nourishment. The stomach contains little sacs which con- tains gastric juice, the liquid which digests the food in the stomach. As soon as any food pass- es into the stomach it is revolved and mixed with the gastric juice by that organ, and when the stomach moves it opens the gastric sacs so that the gastric juice will flow, just like the sa- livn of the mouth flows when wc chew .invthine:. 100 When we eat food that digests in two or three hours it leaves the stomach rest two or three hours, thus giving the gastric sacs time to filL In most people the gastric sacs are very sensi- tive and easily irritated and when they become very full it causes them to have a vigorous ap- petite and will cause some persons to have colic, a weakening hunger and an uneasy and gone feeling. People who are troubled in this way should eat a little between meals to work off some of the gastric juice from the sacs and give them relief, if need be, until meal time ; then you will have plenty of gastric juice for a full meal. We should eat good nourishing and easily di- gestive food in order that the stomach can di- gest it soon and have plenty of time to rest and accumulate gastric juice to digest the next meal, and give us a keen and vigorous appetite. If we do this we will need no liquor to give us fiery habit appetites. We should eat the best of nour- ishing foods and then we will not need ferment- ed liquors to run the heart to death to circulate the blood rapidly to warm and fire us up. What is the use of eating pork and other food- that are hard to digest and weaken your digestive organs and then cannot digest ^enough food to nourish and strengthen the brain and body and then take Liquor to give us a false appetite and a bad habit? If we eat the proper kind of fond :it regular h< urs then we will not be liable to overeat ourselves or want any intoxicating liquors. VOl NG PEOPLE. It is gentrally claimed that young people while growing need so much more to eal than 101 older people who are not growing, but this is a mistake, they need very little, if any, more food. If a young person does not study, work or play much they will not neeed as much food as a full grown person who does work or study. Now suppose a person passes through a severe spell of sickness from a fever or other causes and looses 50 pounds in weight, then in four months time he will generally be as heavy as he was be- fore he was sick, that is if he was properly cared for. Now we see that the sickly person would gain 12-J pounds a month on a small amount of nourishment. Take the hearty, growing young people and they seldom ever grow two pounds, or over, a month or 24 pounds a year ; now then if the fever patient gains 12J pounds a month on a small amount of food, why should a young growing person eat a large amount to grow one to two pounds a month? Young growing people have keen appetites and are liable to eat too fast and too much and thereby contract stomach and other troubles. The reason why people get a very strong ap- petite after sickness is that they loose from 25 to 50 pounds and the body is calling for enough food to supply the 25 or 50 pounds and the ap- petite will not come to its right standard until the deficiency is gained. In such cases our stomachs are weak and we should only eat a very little at first and be careful how we increase the amount and what we eat. FACTS ABOUT THE BEAIN. The grayer part seems to be all of the same quality in every particular. All we can see and learn is that the different positions of the parts of the brain produce different thoughts and the near- 1.02 er the one part is to another the nearer the thoughts will be alike Executiveness and defen- sitiveness are located beside one another and they produce thoughts nearly similar in some respects. But the farther the organs are apart the more dif- ferent the nature of the thoughts will be. For in- stance parental love is located in the back part of the head and comparison in the front part, and you see the great difference in the nature of the thoughts. Then take form, size, weight, color, lo- cality, order and calculation, all are situated to- gether in and next to the eyebrows. Form looks at the form and shape of objects? and size, adjoin- ing form, judges the size, length and breadth: weight comes next and judges the weight by lift- ing and sees if things stand square; color detects the color; locality locates objects; order keeps them in order; calculation counts them, and so on with the other parts. Then originality goes out into new tields and what it discovers it hands to com- parison. To illusirate it comparison contrasts, il- lustrates and compares and the result is handed m to eventuality to remember the events or happenings, and eventuality turns it over to lan- guage to talk about what has been done, and so on with all parts of the brain. The organs are not mixed up or placed in a careless manner. You will not find an intellectual organ among the social or- gans, neither will you find a social organ among the mechanical organs. The social organs arc all located together in the back part of the brain. We can take a tree out of one orchard and replant it in anotLdr and it will increase the size and fruil of one while it decreases the other. But not so with brain; if you should take out of one part it will weaken or destroy that pari of the brain, and you 103 cannot replant it in another part of the brain to increase or strengthen that part.

They should not be used very much in warm weather. Anything fried hard takes from one to two hours longer to digest than if roasted or properly boiled. Old salted meats take from one to two hours longer to digest than fresh meats Eggs and salmon are the best brain foods; gra- ham Hour, beans, peas, oat meal, corn, raw oysters, beef, mutton, venison either raw or rare are excel- lent brain foods. Some people wonder how it is the fact is ascer- tained as to the length of time it takes to digest the different foods. First by paying people that are wounded in the stomach to try experiments with different kinds of food at different times, when they would remove the dressing of the wounds and watch the actions of the stomach and see what foods digest the best and quickest. Of course this could be done safely, but by disturbing the dress- ing of the wound so often the patient would not get wcli so quick, but they would get well paid for their time. The second and best way is bv the gastroscope. it is of a late invention. The gastrOSCOpe is a small instrument that is put down 105 the throat into the stomach and it is so arranged with glasses and a luminous light that it reflects a likeness of the stomach and the food and drink that is in it upon a looking glass near the mouth and you can see just what the stomach is doing as plain as you could see your own likeness if you would look in a mirror. Our stomach is very sen- sitive and if we watch and study it carefully we can tell closely what is best for us in most cases by the way we feel. Sometimes when we eat and drink some things we feel satisfied at the time, but feel bad soon afterward Pork. — We would be healthier and wiser if we would not use any pork, except a very little for cakes and pies if need be. But if people think they must raise hogs to eat the off-fallings and drink the slops they make, they should take the oil out of the lard and put it to some good use, and use the balance to make candles or feed it all to the chickens to make them lay so we will have more chickens and eggs to eat in the place of jiork. People are injured a great deal more by pork than by some sweet things. Pie — Some people and doctors claim that it is pie and sweet cakes that cause so much dyspepsia and headaches, but that is a mistake in a great many cases. People use from one-half teaspoon- full to a table spoonful of lard in a piece of pie. Suppose a person eats two pieces of pie at at a meai; he will consume from a teaspooni'ui to two table spoonsful of lard a meal and some would say that at that rate they would soon be sickly Then there are others that will eat fat pork freely and put grease on their bread and other food freely, and yet they will say that it does not hurt them. Yet they will get from eight to twelve table spoons- 106 fui of laid at each meal in the fat pork and gravy they use and cannot see as it injures them, but other people that uses but little in their pie they think will surely be sick. I say if people bake pies they should use plenty of the best baking powder and very little if any lard. Be careful and use plenty of healthy things to make a pie and then it will not cause dyspepsia. There are many other things worse than pies We should have 7 to 9 hours sleep in 24 hours. Hard brain workers need more sleep than people who work mostly at physical labor. We should be pretty regular in going to bed and getting up, but it is not necessary to have a certain hour for so doing Some people sleep best in the morning and others better in the fore part of the night. People who eat late suppers had better go to bed late and get up late if circumstances are favorable. Only loose sleep in necessary cases. The old say- ing is "early to bed and early to rise, makes a per- son healthy, wealthy and wise " Then if we were to judge some people by their health, wealth and wisdom we should think they went to bed at mid- night and slept uutii noon. Bathing should be done properly and often bo keep ourselves cleanly and healthy, and people who do i.ot bailie can not realize bow it benefits and re- freshes a person. Do not take a bath on a full stomach; if you must bathe light alter a meal ea1 lightly. A cool bath in the morning and a warm bath in the evening are the healthiest Weakly people should generally lake a warm bath. Peo- ple should bathe once a week in winter and more often in summer; a bath everj day in summer will hurt, n<> person ii' properly taken and bathing is of immense value to fever patients. A person will 1U7 obtain health, cleanliness and enjoyment from bathing and if they are not permitted to bathe the whole body they should at least frequently bathe the bottom of the feet and the scalp as these parts contain a great number of pores and cast off a large amount of impurities from the The most of fruits have not so very much nour- ishment in them, but they are refreshing, cooling and healthful to the system and should be used freely by most people, especially in warm weather. Lemons should be used freely when we need acid, or Hosford acid phosphate is excellent; for sale by druggists The fruits is where we get our pure acids and sweets. We should breathe plenty of pure fresh air and have good rich blood and healthy lungs; we should have pure air to breathe in ail piaces; for the sick as well as for the healthy I have known people to increase the size of their chest one-half to one inch in circumference by deep breathing. Do not be afraid of breathing too much pure air, but only keep it at the right temperature Bathing and fresh air are the best medicines to purify the blood and strengthen the lungs. Fresh air is cheap; so use it freely then consumption will not dare to approach. The moral organs give a sense and of what is right and wrong a sense of guilt and of a con- science; but these organs often cause a great amount of trouble and misery and often wicked- ness by people wanting to follow their feeling and conscience with their customs, habits and training when their intellectual organs say it is of no bene- fit and will be injurious or this is not healthy or this is not the best. So when the moral organs will not. follow the intellectual organs in the right 108 way then they are wrong. But if the moral or- gans feel as if anything is wrong or sinful they should not give in until they investigate with the intellectual and other organs and see what is best and then follow with a clear conscience. These or- gans are located in the top of the brain and con- sist of Conscientiousness, Firmness, Hope, Won- der, Imitation, Veneration and Benveolence. Now reader, if any person cheats you, you should not cheat others to make that up in order to pay the debt you owe or promised to pay, as the person who cheated you might have been cheated by some one else and he might have cheated you to pay his bill; that is the wrong way to do, but the right way to do is to take the law and get your money back if you can or put him to prison, but do not become discouraged or wicked but have good moral courage and industry and go ahead and pay the debt as soon as you can and be liberal and do what is right even if some others are wrong. Wisdom and health are great wealth. Industry, energy and mechanism are the great builders. Good management is the granary, storehouse and treasurer. Cleanliness, good habits and manners are like a precious jewel in pure water. Kindness and cheerfulness arc as sunshine. Goodness and health are the best face paint. Good* habits, mor- ality and religion are the great head lights. Some people say "laugh and grow fat" but I say try and be- healthy, laugh and grow a good char- acter and leave the i'at take its course. 109 THE TEMPERAMENTS— Page 3 to 23.

Very large Large Full Average In the foregoing chart X means the best, 1 means good, and O means poor — you should not marry such a person. If I mark two places alike for your mate then that will show that one will do as well as the other, even if one is the reverse of the other. The person that this chart is marked for should select a companion that is as near like the one that is marked in his or her chart as they possibly can. but some people can be mated different from what I will mark and yet do well, because they have such a. combination of temperaments that they are adapted to many different kinds of temperaments and I have not room in this book to explain all particulars. The color of the eyes and hair is <>t nttle benefit in many cases in the selection of a husband or wife, as bo often the color of the eyes and haii- do not correspond with the tempera irK'ids. Sometimes we sec the niolher with the Ill vital, sanguine and brain and nerve temperaments strongly developed and with blue eyes and light or sandy hair to correspond with her tempera- ments, and the father might have the motive and brain and nerve temperaments the most strongly developed and have black hair to correspond with his temperaments and their child or children may have the temperaments and brain of the mother and only the black hair and eyes of the father. So we see that it is not best to depend very much on the color of hair and eyes, bat the first and best of all is to look to the character and the one you love, the temperaments and health and then if the eyes and hair correspond in color it will be of some benefit in most cases. Now, reader, if you see one of the opposite sex that is like I mark in your chart do not think that is the one you are to marry if they do not suit you, or you cannot love them or feel adapted to them. Bat look around weil and carefully until yoa see one that suits you, and is as near like the one I mark in the chart as you can conveniently. If we are mated well by temperaments, and other things are favorable, we will have better, healthier and more intelligent children. Sometimes we see parents and relatives that are healthy and their children will be born sickly or weakiy and not be intelligent; this is because the parents were not propeny mated by temperaments. Then, again, we see sickly parents that have strong, robust and intelligent children, because they were properly mated by their temperaments. Most all oi our weakness -and sickness is brought about by not being properly mated, or neglecting to take good care of ourselves ail through life. There is not one-tenth rm many sickly and weakly people born 112 from sickly and weakly relations as is taught by some people. Some are born different from any of their relatives just because their parents were mated in such a manner that their children would be different in brain and body from what their rel- atives were. When God created Adam and Eve there was only two kinds of human beings, and see how many different kinds of human beings there are at present, the result of marriages A person with a large brain and nerve tempera- ment and with but little of the other temperaments should not inarry a person that has the lymphatic temperament largely developed, and especially if they have but little of the other temperaments, as the children would be liable to have the dropsy of the brain and body. A person with the vital and lymphatic temperaments the strongest should not marry one with the same temperaments strongly de- veloped A person with the sanguine, motive, vi- tal and brain and nerve temperaments could marry one with the same temperaments very strong. A person that is tail and slender with a large brain would do well to marry one that is heavy set with a large or full sized brain. A person with a red face, a rather slender body and a full or large sized brain would do well to marry a person with a red lace, a large or full sized brain, with a body that l- neither heavy set nor slender. Some people have such combination of temperaments that they would do well to marry most any person they loved and their ways suited them. Any person that has the lymphatic and coarse grained temper- aments so much in excess of the other tempera- ments should not marry. Do not inai t\ for riches] Donot marry tor hon- or! Do noi marry anv one vou cannot love! Do 113 not marry any person until you feel sure you know their true character. A person with a good char- acter should be very careful in marrying a person with a bad character, and any one that is religious or religiously inclined should not marry a person that ignores true religious habits. When the good is mated to the bad they should treat each other good and the one try and win the other over in the right path. The women are just as smart as the men and as a rule the best characters. A good wife is better than honor, silver or gold, but not every man deserves such a wife. And a good hus- band is better than honor or riches, but not every woman deserves such a husband. Some people think that after marriage a person should be differ- ent, better and more sensible, but that is a mis- take Every person should have true culture in whatever pertains to make theni wise and good, whether they are married or single. So we should not wait until we are married to get good and wise for we might get such mates to live with that we might not feel like reforming after marriage. But I say if any one has not reformed before marriage they should do so afterward and be good and use- ful the rest of their lives The women should be equal sharers and have equal rights as well as the men. Some think that the women have not much to do, but they are mistaken. There are 365 break- fasts, 365 dinners, and from 325 to 365 suppers to get every year, or 1050 fco 1075 meals and general- ly at regular times, Just think of over 1000 meals a year! Then they have clothes to mend and make and children to take care of and many other things to see alter. And the men often think that wo- man's work is riot hard; Rome of them bettor try 114 keeping house a few days and see how it goes. I say when the women are overcrowded with work the men should learn how to help them and cheer them up Then the women should have time to read good and useful books and papers that per- tains to true culture in housework, morality and religion or whatever makes them wiser or better and happier. Whether married or single they should keep advancing, as the women can and do. aid the men greatly, especially where the men ap- preciate it and make good use of it. Then, again, the men often get overcrowded with work, and if the women have not much to do they should try to learn and aid the men, even if only in the small things. Women should try and make things com fortable for the men. I have known people who were careless and wild and bad before they were married and afterward reformed, repented, were converted and became industrious and religious and were well fixed with property for good use in old age. But remember trusting for a person to repent and reform after marriage is in many cases a dangerous trust. When persons get married they should not think of bossing or driving one another around, but love and aid each other. The people in the country can find good wives and husbands in towns and cities, and people in towns and cities can find goodhusbands and wives in the country. If people with certain combina- tions of temperaments united in marriage they would be liable have sickly or weakly and not \cr\ intelligent children and could not live in a rtate of happiness and peace even if they were good. Then, on the other hand, if people arc well mated and do not try t«» work" in harmony or give them selves true culture they will not get along well in 115 some ways. The difference in tastes that are not of an offensive nature should not keep people from mating. People should try ancLbe well mated and then work right in harmony with one another. Women should not lace very tight as it is injur- ious to their health and they do not look as well when they are laced as they do in their natural form. It is not -the nice clothes that injures us, but it is the tight boots and shoes and tight lacing that does the mischief. So I say do not destroy your health to follow the fashions. Children should be carefully taught in the things that are good and beneficial and how to use them. Teach them that a good and true character well cultivated is better than silver or gold, and every person whether single or married should be inter- ested in teaching children what is best for them. Children should go to school and obey their teach- er, and parents should not take the scholar's part too much at school. If we cannot keep 6 or 8 chil- dren out of trouble how can we expect the teach- ers to keep peace with 25 t ; o 50 scholars. A good teacher can help the scholars and good scholars are a great help to the teachers, and all should work in harmony for that which is good and useful in all place*, FASHIONS, There is not near as much pride and foolishness or money wasted in fashions and chess as is said by some people. A person can be just as good with good and nice clothes as they can Avith common clothes, but we should not dress grand and then not pay for our clothes We should not dress for pride or think it makes us better just because we extra nice clothes. We see people that :ive lie* are dressed in common clothes that have good char- acters, and some that have bad characters, and the same way with people that are well dressed So he careful and not judge people by their clothes or you will be badly deceived in some cases People can work mathematics just as well with a H'5 suit as with a $50 suit on. It is best not to dress to follow the crowd. A person can wear a nice suit and then they can put on another common suit of clothes and move right on and be just as cleanly and good with the one suit as with the other, and when we cannot afford such nice clothes we can wear cheaper ones. But a person using tobacco and liquor cannot be as cleanly and good as they can without them; and a person does not do with- out their tobacco for a few days when they n ed the money for other tilings, and liquors the same way But good sensible people witi think more of people with good characters, etc, and good common clothes than they will o^ a person v nice clothes on that were never paid for. Do not dress in any way that is injurious to your health and keep a good and noble charaoter. Do not stay away from good and necessary p ax38S you cannot drees as others do S - ' ' ' ' clothes and others enjoy common clothes WHY I STUDIED PHttEtfOLO U. The first reason why I studied ph y was the go< >d of myself; the second reason was for to learn and how much eicb prison woald b v j i to do under certain circumstances; and the third • on was because l liked the study, and so ij I would be crippled or have any i con d ■ phrenology lor fco make my living with so 1 WOllld be no expense to other )••' >,>'''• j " "' ' ' ' ;( ' 117 skulls to study phrenology with as it is not right to carry skulls around or have them of people that are supposed to be resting in their graves. And it is not necessary because there are other ways that are equally good or better. The best way is to take a plaster cast of the brain with all the or- gans accurately located and marked on the cast or bust. Then take living persons and examine their brain and they will be able to tell you whether you are right or wrong in a good many ways, and then watch people in their work, business and other places and see how the organs of the brain and temperaments work and harmonize together in many ways, and also singly. But we cannot get dead peoples skulls to tell you when you are right or wrong and they cannot move or act to manifest their characters. Never use or advise any person to use skulls; as it is not necessary ; it is wrong. Now, reader, you must mind there are good phrenologists, and also there are quack phrenolo- gists When they come around make them give some free examinations by bringing them stran- gers or by blindfolding them and see how they can examine brains. If you find they are quacks use the law on them or have nothing to do with them. The study of phrenology is in perfect har- mony with the Bible. I will say that if it was not in harmony with the Bible I would not study it, and I think no one should if such would be the case. Where I mark a person as a preacher it must be remembered that I mean for the person to be or get truly converted to God as the Bible teaches. If any person studies phrenology they should not be studying and watching peoples brains and be thinking about them when you ought to be pay- 118 iiig good attention to other things that would or might be very beneficial in the way of advice or true culture, as people can give excellent advice to phrenologists as well as to other people. So do not think of studying phrenology at funerals, church, Sunday School and many other places. Do not study phrenology for wild curiosity, fault find- ing foolishness or for greed of money: but study it for the good of yourself first and then teach oth- ers how to make the best use of every organ of the brain whether they be large or small. Then when you get to understand phrenology well and wish to make money by phrenology, do so. A person should not think they are better than other people just because they are a phrenologist. We have people that are wise and have grand and noble characters that do not know anything about phrenology, and some of them do not believe in the science and yet they are good and wise. But if such would understand phrenology it would benefit them greatly in knowing how to direct and where to place people so that they would do the most good in all useful and good places The brain is the most wonderful, the greatest, finest, truest, neatest and best arranged of any thing on earth, and is capable of producing very good, useful and wonderful thoughts Itwillview the whole world over in a very short time; it will look back hundreds of years over the past; it ex amines and improves the present and reaches away into the future for great discoveries and grander. higher thoughts, It lays the way open to build churches, schools, colleges, railways an. 1 telegraph lines and that which is grand and good Saving —People who have got into the habit or an- naturally inclined to spend money too freely 119 should have a system or rule to go by so they could get the true benefit of it. Eemember there are some persons who are continually talking of poor luck, that if they would only look back over the past correctly they might see some poor man- agement. If so, improve. People should not act and spend money in time of prosperity and sun- shine as though there would be no failures, panics or thunder storms. And in bad times do not wor- ry and fret as though there would be no more prosperity and sunshine. So we should be pre- pared to live well and comfortable and improve rightly and be useful and good and have as much happiness as possible. Do not so live as to starve and be without true culture while standing on your millions, and on the other hand do not be such a spendthrift as to spend your millions with your eyes shut and get no true culture or benefit and at last be a begger or go the poor house. Do not pass by a ship load of good useful opportuni- ties and be grasping after lucky chances and air castles. SWEET AND SOUR. We need some sweet as well as sour but there are a few people who use ten times as much sweet as they should. They use it freely in nearly every thing they eat and drink. We should beware of impure candy; a small amount of such will do more harm than a large amount of pure sweet, as it is not as injurious to be foundered or overfed as it is to be poisoned Our lard and sweets should not be mixed together as they are very in- jurious to the stomach and brain, and that is why some sweet cakes are so injurious even if only a little is eaten. Thev should be baked without lard V2() and as light as possible and should not be used much, especially when using much sweet in other ways. We should get our sweet as much as pos- sible in its natural state, such as honey, sweet fruits, etc. The less we cook our sweets the bet- ter they are for us. We need sour or acid things. They are very beneficial and should be used m different ways and quantities by different persons. If possible they should be used in their natural state and not be fermented, as we can get them pure in some fruits and other things. We get them in lemons, cranberries, apples and other fruits. Vinegar is liable to eat and irritate the sensitive 'lining of the stomach. Some people will eat a great amount of pork and too much of other things and then have a poor appetite by overtaxing their stomach. Then they will eat things that is soured with vinegar to irritate the stomach and get an un- natural craving appetite, and they keep on eating too much in this manner until many get dyspepsia, liver complaint or headaches. Instead or gorging themselves- they should not eat anything lor one, two or three meals as the cast- might be, in order to give the stomach a rest. If a person cannot get sour things in the fruits, then pure cider vinegar made quite weak with water and then a little taken is better than to do without. But one good lemon will do more good than a gallon of 'Vinegar e?en u properly taken, and the natural sour will supply the body in some ways that tfnegav will not. ±1 some people would live on good, nutritious and easily digested food and take some pepsin, bitter herbs and barks fco tone up the digestion and givfc the stomach rest when it needs it they would uoi have dyspepsia and headache. Hosford's acid phosphate is an excellenl thing fcd supply the sys- 121 tern with the acid or sour it needs. It is cooling and refreshing and makes an excellent drink, es- pecially in hot weather. For sale by druggists. We will take a tobacco chewer or smoker or the two combined. Now supposing a person with one or both of these habits were deprived of their use for a week. The persons thus deprived would not feel right; tbey would be uneasy and loose their appetite in a degree, and could not eat right or work and be contented Now after a week or a few days they get tobacco to use it straightens up and satisfies that habit feeling and they work just as they did before when they had tobacco. Now you see there is no nourishment in that tobacco, it did not strengthen them any in body or brain, but it only satisfied that habit feeling. I know of a person that was told to quit using tobacco and he would feel better and be healthier. He tried it and said that he felt uneasy, restless, could not eat, work or study well, because the habit feeling- was troubling him. But he said that he knew he was getting healthier and gained 15 or 20 pounds and his flesh became more solid. But while the habit feeling lasted he could not get along or feel so well satisfied, but he would not let the habit feeling master him and when that feeling left him he said that he felt better and healthier, had a bet- ter appetite and could work and study better. Now study this habit feeling closely and compare it to the good, strong, healthful feeling and mark the difference. EYEBY ORGAN GOOD. Every organ or every part of the brain was cre- ated by God for good and there is no such a thing as a bad organ, it is not the large organs that 122 are always so hard to control and it is not the small organs that leave the large ones run astray so much as it is the habits we form in the way of using the organs, either single or combined. Ev- ery organ of the brain was created by God for two purposes — for a good and useful purpossfor us in digerent ways and for contentment and happiness. The larger the organs the greater the enjoyment, ufefulness and goodness, that is if the organs are kept working in harmony with one another for whatever improves and extends happiness and the necessary things for the benefit of ourselves and others. But if we use them wrongly we lose our good and true happiness and ofcen get con- siderable misery. But the trouble is when we 'have suck keen or strong enjoyments from large organs we are so liable to go to excess and over- do to get the most enjoyment at the present and then suffer in the future or lose the best of our happiness. For an illustration we will take our appetite for food. Now our body and brain need so much food then if we have keen, strong ap- petites we get more enjoyment from them which is better than if we had a weak, sluggish appe- tite and would not enjoy our food. But we should stop eating when we have enough, and be glad that we had so much enjoyment from our food, and then change to other thingsjthat will benefit you. Suppose a person had one day's time to go away to enjoy nice mountain and lake scenery surrounded with beautiful flowers, etc., then it' a person had large sublimity, ideality, color and a fine grained temperament with the brain and nerve temperament well developed they would have a keener pleasure and more en- joyment than if their organs and temperaments 123 were weak in the places I just mentioned. But if we do not train ourselves properly we will spend a week when we ought to only have a day to visit such places. So you see it is better to have all of our organs well cultivated, so what time we have at different places that our useful- ness, goodness and enjoyment may be as keen as possible. If we are not careful our small or av- erage sized organs will often do more harm than our large organs. Suppose we take some people who have not a fine grained temperament and have small sublimity, ideality and color. They will not enjoy flowers, colors, mountains, lakes, water falls and the things that are nice and beau- tiful. Then because they do not like them they may destroy such things that others have for their enjoyment, and also be abusive to people because they take their enjoyment in such things when they can afford it and have the time. If a person has not the organs to enjoy things that were given to us leave some one else enjoy them that has a brain so adapted, but leave no organs lead you into doing anything that is injurious and sinful. All organs were created for some pur- pose. God created the organ of color in us so we could paint things to preserve them and also for us to enjoy colors He created trees, plants, vines, herbs, etc., for to produce food and medi- cine for our good, and at the same time he cre- ated them to have nice and beautiful blossoms and flowers for our organs of color to enjoy and know the different kinds. And it is the same with all other parts of the brain. Tune was giv- en to us to enable us to judge the differance be- tween sounds of any kind, which is useful in many ways. It tells us when our voices are V24 properly regulated in singing, speaking or read- ing: it tells one kind of metal from another by their sounds ; it tells us when machinery is run- ning properly by the different sounds. Xow as we see that God created the organ of tune for a benefit just see the enjoyment from the elevating and religious music. Good religious music cheers people up and makes them happy, re- fined, elevates and educates them, and saves many souls. The larger tune is developed in a person the better they will perform the work that belongs to it and do more of it. They would also become more refined, elevated and at the same time have true happiness. Now if tune is small in people they will not love music and are liable to ignore and ridicule music and people that are teaching and learning music, even if it is for good Then, on the other hand, when tune, is large or larger than the other organs it is lia- ble to cause a person to be listening and learn- ing music for purposes that do not give a person a good true character, and also causes a person to be paying too much attention to music when they should be seeing to other inportant things. Now we see that an organ or organs whether large or small L8 liable to cause a person to do wrong, if a person has not an organ or organs of the brain to enjoy and perform certain kinds of brain work they should rejoice and be happy and willing that others can and do enjoy such, if it is not of a degrading nature; and then do not blame a person for not enjoying and per- lonning much) whatever it may be. it his organs arc not adapted to perform and enjoy such. We should try and work in harmony as much as possible by cultivating ourselves in the way of 125 true culture and have a good and true character, PEOPLE BECOMING BETTER. People, as a general rule, are becoming better ; their morality and religion is broader and more just; they are causing all nations to come to- gether and be as one in peace, justice, morality and religion. People used to be more selfish and only looked to themselves and their own country and did not seem to care how other na- tions prospered. They did not seem to care whether it was peace or war with other nations. Of course we have people in this and other coun- tries to-day who are as wicked as any person ever was or ever will be, but we are instituting some of the best moral, religious and charitable institutions that the world ever saw. As one nation advances it helps to advance others, and all nations should try to advance one another as much as possible in all that is good and bene- ficial and not simply use our friends and neigh- bors right, but everybody in all places and do not give where it is not used for good purposes. The way in which to cause all nations to become wise and good and to work in harmony, each person must become wige and good and we should all be guided by intelligence, morality and religion and not just by political parties or foolish customs. THE CHAUTAUQCAN This is a magazine devoted to true culture. It treats on good, grand and important subjects and places in every part of the world. It sus- tains the theory that all nations should work in harmony for the advancement and good of one another in business, education and rejig- 126 ion. It lays the great foundation for every per- son to build a true character upon. Single copy, '20 cents; one copy one year, $1.50; five copies one year to one address, $1.35 each. Address Theodore L.

Do not use liniments, oils, [turpentines, etc., for external use to the body, as they generally drive the disease from one part of the system to some other part and they often only deaden or numb the parts so you will not feel the pain, People who apply so much medicine deaden the nervefi and then they will not carry electricity lind nervous power to those parts freely to en- liven that pari up properly and that part to which they are applied are liable to dwindle away Blowly and a person is also liable to drive rheumatism to hi* heart from some external pari and the blood is also often poisoned by the • i se of t hese injurious medicines What would we think if people would put medicine on boils unci scatter the impurities through the system? 127 We would think they had better poultice and draw out the impurities. For aches, strains, &c, we should use poultices and blisters and very warm or cold water or cupping and electric- ity and draw out the impurities and electrify the nerves. Sometimes good internal medicines are very beneficial, but the best of all is to try to prevent diseases by taking good care of our-. selves. Consistency — Congruity, fitness, adaptation or the relation or agreement between things. It says to the other organs — come and we will work to- gether in harmony for that which is useful and good. But the trouble is they do not all obey if we do not train them properly, Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel.
