Excerpt from Messages to Mothers, a Protest Against Methods: Presenting a Simple, Practical and Natural Scheme for the Right Diet, Care and Treatment of Mother and Child, and for the Conservation of Power in Physiological Functions, the Result of Twenty-Three Years of Successful Practice
It requires much more power to operate the brain in the processes of voluntary and designed thinking than it does to operate any combina tion of muscles at the hardest manual labor dur ing the same length of time. From any com parison of the maximum number of hours at mental labor and at manual labor, respectively, that men can endure per day and retain their normal weight with good digestion, sleep and good temper, it is deducible that an hour of purely original mental work costs even more power than two and one-half hours of hard man ual labor.
