      CANCER: THE CHEMISTRY OF THE “CRAB”

      JUNE 21 TO JULY 22.

      Cancer is the mother sign of the zodiac.

      The mother’s breast is the soul’s first home after taking on flesh and “rending the Veil of Isis.”

      The tenacity of those born between the dates June 21 and July 22, in holding on to a home or dwelling place is well illustrated by the crab’s grip, and also by the fact that it carries its house along wherever it goes in order that it may be sure of a dwelling.

      The angles (angels) of the twelve zodiacal signs materialize their vitalities in the human microcosm. Through the operation of chemistry, energy creating, the intelligent molecules of Divine substance make the “Word flesh.”

      The corner stone in the chemistry of the crab is the inorganic salt fluoride of lime, known in pharmacy as Calcarea flourica. It is a combination of flourine and lime.

      When this cell-salt is deficient in the blood, physical and mental disease (not-at-ease) is the result. Elastic fiber is formed by the union of the fluoride of lime with albuminoids, whether in the rubber tree or the human body. All relaxed conditions of tissue (varicose veins and kindred ailments) are due to a lack of sufficient amount of elastic fiber to “rubber” the tissue and hold it in place.

      When elastic fiber is deficient in tissue of membrane between the upper and lower brain poles—cerebrum and cerebellum—there results a “sagging apart” of the positive and negative poles of the dynamo that runs the machinery of man.

      An unfailing sign or symptom of this deficiency is a groundless fear of financial ruin.

      While those born in any of the twelve signs may sometimes be deficient in Calcium fluoride, due to Mars or Mercury (or both) in Cancer at birth, Cancer people are more liable to symptoms indicating a lack of this elastic fiber-builder than are those born in other signs.

      Why should we search Latin or Greek lexicons to find a name for the result of a deficiency in some of the mineral constituents of blood? If we find a briar in our flesh, we say so in the plainest speech; we do not say, “I have the briatitis or splintraligia.”

      When we know that a deficiency in the cell-salts of the blood causes the symptoms that medical ignorance has dignified and personified with names that nobody knows the meaning of, we will know how to heal scientifically by the unalterable law of the chemistry of life. When we learn the cause of disease, then, and not before, will we prevent disease.

      Not through quarantine, nor disinfectants, nor “Boards of Health” will man reach the long sought plane of health; not through affirmations of health, nor denials of disease will bodily regeneration be wrought; not by dieting or fasting or “Fletcherizing” or suggesting, will the elixir of life and the philosopher’s stone be found.

      The “mercury of the sages” and the “Hidden Manna” are not constituents of health foods.

      Victims of salt baths and massage are bald before their time, and the alcohol, steam and Turkish bath fiends die young.

      “Sic transit gloria mundi.”

      When a man’s body is made chemically perfect, the operations of mind will perfectly express.

      Gems belonging to the sign of the breast are black onyx and emerald; astral colors, green and russet-brown.

      Cancer is represented by Zebulum, the tenth son of Jacob, and means dwelling place or habitation.

      Matthew is the Cancer disciple.
