CHAPTER
II:
Functional
Activity-The
Secret
of
Power
Vitality
means
normal
functioning.
When
the
organs
of
the
body
are
all
performing
their
duties
satisfactorily,
you
can
practically
be
sure
of
a
plentiful
supply
of
vitality.
So
it
can
truly
be
said
that
proper
functioning
is
the
secret
of
power.
The
most
important
of
all
functional
processes
begins
in
the
stomach.
There
is
where
the
blood-making
process
commences,
and,
since
a
man
is
what
the
blood
makes
of
him,
you
can
realize
the
tremendous
importance
of
this
particular
function.
If
the
digestion
is
carried
on
properly,
and
the
blood
is
made
rich
in
those
elements
that
add
to
life,
health
and
strength,
then
the
functions
of
the
stomach
are
being
properly
performed.
Strength
of
this
organ,
therefore,
is
absolutely
indispensable
in
vitality
building.
This
blood-making
work
is
then
continued
by
the
small
intestines,
where
a
large
part
of
the
elements
of
nourishment
essential
to
life
are
assimilated,
taken
up
and
carried
to
the
portal
circulation,
thence
to
the
lungs
and
heart,
and
finally
throughout
the
entire
body.
It
is
absolutely
impossible
for
one
to
enjoy
the
possession
of
a
high
degree
of
vitality,
or
of
the
general
good
health
upon
which
vitality
depends,
unless
the
intestinal
tract
is
in
a
healthy
and
vigorous
condition,
so
that
the
functions
of
this
particular
part
of
the
body-
machine
may
be
performed
without
a
flaw.
The
entire
digestive
system
may
be
compared
to
a
boiler
supplying
the
energy
by
which
the
engine
does
its
work.
