Excerpt from Autology (Study Thyself) And Autopathy (Cure Thyself) Many years ago, on a spring morning, I was driving through the country to see a sick baby. Among the trees that lined the roadway I espied beautiful primroses. As I stood feasting my senses on them I wondered why these flower-babies of Nature had no need for doctors or nurses, whereas human babies had! I picked a few of the flowers and hurried to my patient. The little fellow was very feverish and delirious. He was panting rather than breathing, for he was dying of double pneumonia; had been dying for some days, so the mother stated. As I stood by the cradle side the mother pleaded, "O, doctor, can you save my boy?" I replied, "I think so, with your help." My reason for answering encouragingly was owing partly to self-reliance based on experience and partly because I had just witnessed and understood how sunshine and balmy breezes and refreshing moisture had coaxed primroses from seeming death into healthy, beautiful blossoms. Holding up the few primroses I asked the woman if flowers would grow and develop without sunshine, and she said no.
