years of helpless torture and makes him whole in body and mind, what is

the land who are now ready to enter upon a life-long death similar to
that man's. Every time the Science captures one of these and secures to
him life-long immunity from imagination-manufactured disease, it may

will kill a man every now and then; but no matter, it will still be ahead
