CABOT'S CRITICISM
Defends Christian Science Against
.Magazine Article Attacking Its
Healing Methods.
To the Editor of the Post:
Sir In Dr. Itichard C. Cabot's dis
sertation on Christian Science and its
cures, which appeared in McClure's
Magazine and which was reviewed in
your issue of Aug. 2, ho declares:
"For if it is true, as stated on Page
120 of 'Science and Health,' that
'health is not a condition of matter
but of mind, nor can the material
senses bear reliable testimony on this
subject,' of course 'the material sen
ses' cannot be trusted when they tes
tify that cancer, consumption, broken
bones, or locomotor ataxia have been
cured by Christian Science."
In reply to this statement, we
would say that the evidence of tho
material senses, in respect to dis
ease, yields under Christian Science
treatment to a higher, better, more
spiritual sense of being, consequent
ly the patient does not need to ask
tho material senses to testify to or
confirm the fact of the healing.
Further, Christian Science plants
itself unreservedly upon the Scrip
tural teaching that all that God mado
"was very good" and that there was
nothing made that He did not make.
It denies tho actuality of that which
seems to exist and yet is no part of
the dlvlno economy. Nevertheless,
it recognizes tho phenomena of ma
terial sense and that sin, sickness and
death are quite as real as any other
material manifestations.
Recognize Existence of Evils.
Christian Scientists recognize that
these ovlls and discords exist in er
ring mortal experience, tho dream of
mortal life, and call them by tho
Bamo names that others use, and thoy
recognize that these evils must bo
grappled with and overcome by
Truth. Even a ghost must be ex
plained away. It cannot be overcome
by merely ignoring it, notwithstand
ing the faot that tho properly inform
ed person knows that a ghost is a
mere apparition, a seeming, not a
reality, first, last and all the time.
Dr. Cabot declares that ho has
"studied ono hundred cases of Chris
tian Science cures recorded In the re
cent volumes of the Christian Science
Journal" and that "putting together
this evidence and comparing it with"
his "own experience regarding the ac
curacy of his own patients' state
ments about their own diseases," his
"conclusions are, first, that most
Christian Science cures are probably
genuine; but, second, that they aro
not the cures of organic diseases."
Incidentally he declares "func
tional diseases are no moro imagin
ary than an ungovernable temper or
a balky horse is imaginary. They are
often tho source of acute and long
continued suffering; indeed, I believe
that there is no class of diseases that
gives rise to so much keen suffering."
Thus the doctor pays tribute to Chris
tian Science by generously conceding
that it heals "real" diseases and de
stroys an immense amount of suffer
ing. So far, so good.
Every Case a Fit Subject.
Proceeding, the doctor declares,
"Tho sharpness of this distinction be
tween organic and functional trou
bles is somewhat blurred," and "or
ganic disease is oftentimes produced
by functional disease" and "such or
ganic dlseaso is often cured by Chris
tian Science."
Dr. Alfred T. Schofiold, a medical
authority, in his well-known work en
titled "Tho Force of Mind," says:
"There can bo no organic disease
without some derangement of func
tion," while he also declares In
agreement with Dr. Cabot, "func
tional disease may after all be or
ganic at the bottom." Thus, in tho
mouth or pen of "two witnesses" it
is "established" that every case Is a
lit Bubject for Christian Science treat
ment, since according to the testi
mony of these reputable witnesses
every person with organic trouble Is
also afflicted functionally, and every
functional trouble Is a fit subject for
Christian Science treatment.
Without first experimenting with
Christian Science treatment, it would
doubtless be difficult to determine
whether or not a given organic dis
ease has been occasioned by func
tional disorders and is therefore ac
cording to Dr. Cabot's theory amen
able to Christian Science practice.
Therefore, on Dr. Cabot's authority
alone, wo have established tho Im
portance of at least experimenting
with Christian Science.
Dr. Cabot has stated his belief that
functional disorders can be cured by
Christian Science treatment. Dr.
Schofiold, as before stated, has as
serted that all organic disease prod
uces functional disorders. This Is
equivalent to saying that every sick
person Is afflicted with functional dls
easo. Now It is not posslblo to really
cure a dlseaso without going to tho
bottom of It and eradicating its foun
dation. Christian Science Cures All.
Every caso of functional dlseaso
having an organic foundation can
only bo cured by destroying Its or
ganic foundation. Therefore, on the
testimony of these two distinguished
authorities, the fact is established
that Christian Science cures all kinds
of diseases, for it is evident that a
functional disorder which originates
in a defective organ cannot be cured
unless the organic disease Is first de
stroyed, for tho functional disorder
being an effect must of necessity re
appear so long as its cause is not de
stroyed. Since, as Dr. Cabot declares, the
"sharpness of distinction between or
ganic and functional troubles is
somewhat blurred," It follows that it
is not easy to distinguish between an
organic and a functional disease, nor
would it be easy to distinguish be
Itween an organic disease which is
, "produced by functional troubles"
' and one which is not occasioned by
i functional troubles, and to be on the
safe side every individual afflicted
with organic or functional troubles
should avail himself of Christian
Science treatment lest he should be
neglecting a means of recovery.
The doctor declares that he has
grouped the one hundred cases which
he has "analyzed" in four classes:
"First, 72 in which" ho finds "on
careful study, reasonably good evi
dence for the diagnosis of functional
or nervous disorder. Second, seven
cases of what appears to be organic
disease. Third, 11 cases very diffi
cult to class, but probably belonging
in the functional group. Fourth, 10
cases, regarding the diagnosis of
which no reasonable conjecture can
bo made."
Statement Cnrrles Hope.
The doctor declares "Experience
shows that when a person has had
many doctors, many diagnoses, many
'diseases,' or many operations, he
usually turns out to be suffering from
nervous prostration or some other
form of functional nervous trouble."
There are a great many persons in
this world who have had many doc
tors and many diagnoses, many dis
eases, if not many operations, and It
is kind in Dr. Cabot to point out
the fact that there is hope for them
in Christian Science.
Our critic further declares: "A
patient suffering from organic disease
rarely consults a Christian Scientist."
To be exact it should be said that
thus far very few patients suffering
with any sort of disorder call upon a
Christian Scientist until after thoy
have exhausted their hope or their
means in experimenting with mate
rial remedies. It Is natural that ono
should not experiment with some
thing that Is now and untried so long
as the old ways promise results.
Those who apply to Christian
Science aro as a rule those who havo
failed to recover through medicine,
and if it bo true that from a medical
point of view organic diseases aro
moro dlfllcult to heal It Is likely that
moro cases afflicted with organic
troubles apply to Christian Science.
In my own practice, extending
through a period of twenty years, I
have seldom had a patient who was
not afflicted with both organic and
functional disorders and my success
has been more uniform with organic
troubles than with those which have
been called nervous disorders.
Other Treatments Differ.
Thus the foundation of disease Is
destroyed and the effects disappear
from the body. Other systems of giv
ing a mental treatment differ from
Christian Science in proportion as
they differ from tho method just de
scribed. A Christian Scientist would
not hope to succeed in curing a pa
tient by the mere belief that the pa
tient will get well, although he is
aware that such an encouraging be-
i lief is always helpful to a patient.
j The method which we have described
above is not, as Dr. Cabot affirms,
i "after Qulmby."
I Doubtless our critic's surmise Is
' due to the fact that ho has misunder
stood the teaching and practice of
Christian Science.
Dr. Quimby, according to many re
liable witnesses, never recognized
God in his treatment of the sick. Mr.
John Chapman, a well-known and re
liable citizen of Bangor, Me., who
knew Mr. Quimby intimately, said
that he never talked about God, ho
was not a religlouB man In any sense,
though a. good man morally and a
good citizen.
Dr. Cabot declaros : "I bellovo
that a good many warped minds
just as a certain typo of crooked
spine, may be helped by a sharp twist
in the other direction." This being
true the doctor would logically be
obliged to admit that tho last twist
must bo in the right direction, other
wise it would not be corrective.

patience with annoyances of all kinds. Ho endures
meekly, good naturcdly to tho breaking point, and
then SETTLES ACCOUNTS WITH ASTOUND-
TOG JUSTICE AND SWIFT PENALTY.
I had occasion to take a boat from New York to Atlantic High
lands on Sunday. Tho boat was crowded, and tho spirit of tho crowd
was happy, in a holiday mood. I found a chair, and near me wero
two ovordressed young men and two equally elaborately gowned
women. They wero typical of a certain class of cheap clerks spending
their wook's earnings all at once. There are in every part of tho
world people who PUSH THEER SHINY FACES AND LOUD
CLOTHES INTO UNPLEASANT CONTEAST WITH THE
SIMPLER AND MORE MODEST TYPES of their own class.
Presently along came a poor man with a paper parcel under his.
arm, which later proved to bo his lunch of apples and somo bread and
sugar. Ho was a big, silent, inarticulate laboring nmn, seedily but
cleanly dressed, and with him. was a small, puny, shriveled, up. little
woman, who was his.wifo. In looking for a' place to sit ho tried to
squeeze past tho four persons, and they offensively obstructed hia
way, as if they objected to the contact with his seedy clothes. The
incident did not escape tho rest of tho people on tho boat, but, what
ever thoy thought, no move was mado, no comment uttered. Pinally
ho pushed a little harder, and something was said. Tho man looked
about him ; then, turning to his wife, he said, "I thought this was an.
excursion of respectablo people, not a cheap crowd." So he was com
pelled to begin his happy day in this way, annoyed by tho "arrogant
wealthy." A retort followed, and tho offensive youths deliberately
pushed a chair against him to block his path. Ho didn't say anything,
bu( begap to take off his coat preliminary tp fighting.
THEN 8UDDENLY OUT OF THE CROWD ROSE THAT MYS
TERIOUS 8PIRIT THAT 18 THE UNDERLYING FORCE OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, IN THE PER80N OF A QUIET, DETERMINED
MAN, WHO WALKED OVER TOWARD THE SCENE AND 8AID
FORCEFULLY: "NOW, WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THI8. WE'RE
HERE FOR A GOOD TIME AND WANT TO BE HAPPY, AND THIS
MUST STOP RIGHT HERE AND NOW. WE WON'T 8TAND FOR IT
ANY MORE." AND IT 8TOPPED. THE VOICE OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE HAD SPOKEN, AND THE TROUBLE VAS OVER.
