    If the organs [of your body] are diseased, heal them by correcting your diet. Avoid the use of aluminum cooking utensils and alum baking powders as they are injurious to your health, poisoning your blood stream... Sleep on the right side or flat on your back, with the head toward the north so as to get benefit of the earth's magnetic currents. Avoid serum inoculations as they pollute the blood stream with their filthy pus.... Stop chewing gum, as you need the saliva for your food.

    [See also ad for the Electronic Radio Biola is on page 479.]

    I HAVE named this new discovery, which I believe will be epochal in the history of the treatment of disease, and which I am exclusively announcing in THE GOLDEN AGE prior to its general publication elsewhere, The Electronic Radio Biola, which means life renewed by radio waves or electrons. The Biola automatically diagnoses and treats diseases by the use of the electronic vibrations. The diagnosis is 100 percent correct, rendering better service in this respect than the most experienced diagnostician.... THE principle of operation of the Biola is the collection... of the disease vibrations.... the fluid containing the same waves or vibrations enters the body, meets the disease waves and destroys them.... This is a great step forward, marking the Biola as the most valuable treatment apparatus obtainable today, and well worthy of notice in the columns of a magazine like THE GOLDEN AGE...

    I'd heard about some of those but never seen them for myself before. It certainly does make one question anything they put into print as the truth of the day. A good point to raise with people who seem to think that the very fact something is in the magazines advances it beyond modern science, thought, and reason.

    Here's another gem. Watch Tower judges man on size of nose.

    1921 "The size of the nose, as also the size of the eyes, is not without significance. The small-nosed man cannot have a judicial mind, whatever his other excellencies may be. And a man whose nose upturns can no more be expected to administer justice than a pug dog can be expected to act as a shepherd." {GA Jan 19 1921 224}

    PS. For you that want to know. GA stands for Golden Age.

    Another fine Truth from the GB. But then in those days they still had Jehovah's Spirit. what a laugh.

    Avengers: that drunken dancing baby thing, had me in stitches .

    Beans: the things they used to write. **(added), the things they still continue to write.

    Hilarious, if not downright insane.

    But just to be safe, no more eating from aluminum pie plates for me.

    Insanity I tell ya! At least they got this right...
