Attitude in repose after the complete removal of the cerebellum but during the period of restoration of function. (Morat & Doyon, after Thomas) Reference and Study: "Human Physiology" by Albert P. Brubaker, A.M.,

M.D.

After having carefully studied and reflected on the foregoing views of our wonderfully constructive nervous system, how many manufacturing and business engineers realize the importance of a thorough knowledge of the brains and their relation to the mind bears to their problems and their success? How many realize the possibilities of their own power and force of intelligence in this great world of affairs, through a scientific understanding of the marvelous combination of nature's gifts to humanity?

We often read of the power and influence of the various leaders of mankind, and how these leaders have actually risen from poverty to fame seemingly in a fortnight; one only needs to turn the pages of our histories to verify this fact.

What is possible for one is possible for all, the development of human power is no secret; it is applicable to every man and woman who is willing to adhere to nature's laws; and it can be truly stated that real genuine human power cannot be obtained in any other way. We should consider more the study of mind and the physiology of the brains and nervous systems; subjects that require separate volumes in order to be properly explained.

However, we all know that in order to succeed

we must be honest, we must love our fellowmen; we must work, we must eliminate hatred, anger and passion; our thoughts must be clean, our motives good, and with these conditions prevailing, is it not astonishing the amount of power our brains will generate?

Speaking of the real power in life, Hamilton Wright Mabie says, in part: "There is no mechanism so delicate as the adjustment of forces which make up a human life. The most exquisite mechanical adaptations represent but grossly the fineness of moral, intellectual, and physical adjustments which are ultimately secured in every human life.

"If we could only realize for one hour how subtle, manifold and exacting are the influences which shape us, there would be far less trifling with the serious concerns of character. If we could really feel that every sin, every negligence, every neglect, involves either a permanent or a passing loss of power, and that we are absolutely powerless to sever ourselves from the causes which we set in motion, we would walk with very careful feet. That which gives us the power of impressing our fellows is not so much the conscious direction of our abilities as the unconscious expression of ourselves. It is character in its
