Physiology - Chapter 7 of Science and Health 1910, last edition authorized by Mary Baker Eddy.  See SUBTITLE Text content below.

  	    Anatomy declares man to be structural. Physiology
18	continues this explanation, measuring human	                   Man not
  	strength by bones and sinews, and human life	                   structural 
  	by material law. Man is spiritual, individual, and eter-
21	nal; material structure is mortal. 
  	    Phrenology makes man knavish or honest according to
  	the development of the cranium; but anatomy, physiology,
24	phrenology, do not define the image of God, the real im-
  	mortal man. 
  	    Human reason and religion come slowly to the recogni-
27	tion of spiritual facts, and so continue to call upon
  	matter to remove the error which the human mind alone
  	has created. 
30	    The idols of civilization are far more fatal to health
  	and longevity than are the idols of barbarism. The idols
  	of civilization call into action less faith than Buddhism
 1	in a supreme governing intelligence. The Esquimaux
  	restore health by incantations as consciously as do civi-
 3	lized practitioners by their more studied methods. 
  	    Is civilization only a higher form of idolatry, that
  	man should bow down to a flesh-brush, to flannels, to
 6	baths, diet, exercise, and air? Nothing save divine
  	power is capable of doing so much for man as he can
  	do for himself.
