A Solemn Appeal - James White

unnerves resolution and cripples effort, I cast the
mantle of forgetfulness over the past. I have now to
do only with the future. Nor must I remain a
moment passive and idle. I have a great work
before me, first, to repair my shattered constitution,
which is the work, not of a day, but of my life; and
also to recover my mental stamina and moral
standing, and, if possible, soar higher still. What
shall I do first?
Regain your health
"Your sufferings and losses grow mainly out of
the injury it has sustained, and to regain it, is
indispensable to both effort and enjoyment, and
your great salvation from the consequences of past
sins, and prevention of future ones.
"In effecting this restoration, you have mainly
to obviate that inflammation already shown to have
chiefly engendered your sufferings, and produced
disease. Reduce it, and you both forestall farther
injury, and give to Nature, your great physician, an
opportunity to repair the breach.
