To find the chemicals of life, and blend their force sublime,
To unlock earth’s grim secrets, facing revolution’s strife,
And scaling highest heaven to demand immortal life!

IN MEMORIAM
Dr. George Washington Carey was born in Dixon, Illinois, on September 7th, 1845, and was one of a large family of children. His father’s name was John Carey, and bore the relation of grand-nephew to John Quincy Adams. On his mother’s side, a grandfather served with General Marion during the Revolution. His mother’s name was Ruth Odell. When George Carey was about a year and a half old, the Careys left Illinois and came by covered wagon to Oregon, a journey of six months. The motion picture entitled “The Covered Wagon” gives an extremely realistic presentation of the main features of that trip and Dr. Carey greatly enjoyed seeing it.
He had very little schooling, but his parents were well qualified to teach him the fundamentals. His father was well known for his humorous verses which embodied much of Irish wit. As a child George was very delicate, his parents being doubtful that he would grow to manhood. His earlier years were spent on a farm, the evenings enlivened by music. Later on, he became leader of the village orchestra.
In his early forties he became the first Postmaster of Yakima, Washington, and held the position for several terms. Hearing of the science of biochemistry, he resigned to devote his life to its study.
Together with a number of physicians, Dr. Carey founded the College of Biochemistry in Yakima, Washington, and a few students enrolled and graduated, among them being the College founders; but, as this was many years ago, not much interest in the subject was aroused, and the project was given up because of lack of support.
Dr. Chapman was one of those taking the course, and the book which he wrote on biochemistry has been a popular household work.
Today this science is coming before the world, seemingly by leaps and bounds. Schools devoted to the teaching of biochemistry in a practical way are starting up in many states of the Middle West, and entire families are learning how to supply their blood deficiencies. After years of almost heartbreaking pioneering, of almost utter discouragement, on the part of its advocates, the science is now fast becoming recognized. In 1928, I believe, the Eclectic College or Chiropractic of Los Angeles added biochemistry to its curriculum.
Most people are not aware that biochemistry is an ancient Sanscrit science. Once again the cycle has appeared, upon whose wave it is borne. When Dr. Carey wrote his work on The Biochemic System of Medicine, its first press recognition was in a Health Magazine published by biochemic physicians in India. It stated: “We are glad to see that a western brother is helping to bring back the ancient science of biochemistry.”
The book referred to above is now in its twenty-third edition. Years ago, when Dr. Carey wrote this treatise, he was financially unable to publish it, and sold the copyright to the Luyties Pharmacal Company, of St. Louis. Old Dr. Luyties, the founder of the firm, as well as Dr. Boericke, had interviewed Dr. William Schuessler, the originator of biochemistry, in Oldenburg, Germany. They learned his method of preparing the cell salts or mineral constituents of the blood, and presented it in this country. Since Dr. Carey’s death in 1924, the last edition of his book was re-edited by a Dr. Arthur Perry, and it has lost its old familiar aspect. The writer of this article is now preparing a new and up-to-date edition combining with the science of astrology. This will enable anyone to work out his or her own individual chemical plan from the birth data.
It was Dr. Carey, who, in one of those strange and rare moments which come to those who seek, ascribed to each sign of the zodiac its corresponding chemical element or salt (salt is an old term for “earth”), and wrote The Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac, the most unique work of the century and the most valuable.
It has been regrettable that so many have copied this work, plagiarists who have never mentioned his name as the distinguished author. Recently a Chicago magazine carried an advertisement, much of which was copied, word for word, from one of his circulars, no credit given and no quotation marks used.
Because the work was never copyrighted by Dr. Carey is no excuse for not giving the author credit for it. It is for the purpose of emphasizing this, and securing for him permanent recognition, that this fourteenth edition is combined with some new writings of my own, and copyrighted.
And as it is the fourteenth in the series, it means a new product, the mystical fruit of a new age, the Aquarian, concerning which Dr. Carey often wrote and spoke. It is a new product, because for the first time it is definitely stated to be the Key to Physical Regeneration and Spiritual Illumination.
The fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is N, spelled Nun in that language. Its literal interpretation is fish, (fruit or progeny.) In the Biblical story, Joshua was the son of Nun, and Joshua is the origin of the Latinized form, Jesus. Therefore Jesus also means fish. It is common knowledge that the fish has been the esoteric symbol for two thousand years, at least, for the Son of Man. This will be dealt with at great length under Virgo, the sixth lesson or chapter.
This edition, then, is symbolic of all that the letter N means,—the new man, for it gives information relative to the necessary material required to produce, or create that new man. Dr. Carey also gave to the world the formula for bio-plasma, which is a combination of the twelve inorganic salts of the blood, combined in the proportion which he considered necessary to create healthy, or chemically perfect blood.
Those who are familiar with his book, The Biochemic System of Medicine, feel that he improved greatly the application of Schuessler’s system. More and more information is being constantly obtained, so that still further contributions will be made to this invaluable science. As the Scriptures state—“All things work together for good,” and until we learn what they are and apply them, we can not hope to arrive at the perfect state.
Some years after becoming interested in biochemistry, Dr. Carey edited a small magazine dealing with this subject, and containing also humorous articles and poems from his pen. His Chemistry of the Cosmos found many appreciative readers, as it contained unusual poems as well as articles of a scientific nature. One which was especially valued was entitled It, and dealt with the one universal esse from which all things originate and to which they eventually return.
His explanation of slang phrases is very interesting as well as instructive, for he brings out the fact that they are based on truth and that the Cosmic Mind or planetary vibration, impinging (the same as radio waves) on the human brain at a certain time causes mental electricity to etch in a certain manner on the wax-like brain cells. Hence thoughts are produced relative to particular subjects.
In just this way public or mass interest is aroused along definite lines. Great truths are thus expressed in a manner attractive to the great majority of minds, stepped down, we may say, into a vernacular which is “catchy,” while the idea back of it all is comprehended only by a few.
Not only was Dr. Carey deeply interested in life’s chemical mysteries, but his searching mind longed to solve the greatest of all, that of physical regeneration and spiritual illumination, and the plan or process necessary for its attainment. Hiram Butler’s theory appealed to him and he began his researches along that line, finding at last that God, Word, seed, fish, Jesus and progeny are words synonymous in meaning, and when СКАЧАТЬ
