TRANSGRESSION OF PHYSICAL LAW.
It is strange, indeed, that intelligent human beings should entertain for a moment the idea that the natural human figure, whether masculine or feminine, needs to be modified or molded, with the idea of making it more perfect or beautiful or shapely than the Master Artist Himself is capable of making it. Such modifications can not be produced without damage to the physical health as well as to natural beauty and symmetry. There is a great decalogue which grasps the whole man in its scope. Not a single principle can be violated without resulting in injury and suffering. The principle of obedience is just as essential a factor in the physical as in the moral well-being of man. The laws which relate to our physical welfare are as inexorable and unchanging as the principles outlined in that great moral code, the Ten Commandments.—J. H. Kellogg, M.D., in Good Health.
