Y gives strength to the mind and to the body. It provides necessary strength to the physical body to remove the after-effects of illness.It provides the necessary mental strength to the person to shake off his servile attitude – the ready submission to obey the just or unjust orders of others.It reverses his mental outlook from negative centaury type to positive centaury type.The positive centaury type chooses his own way of life, without interference from any body; he serves others of his own free will and is capable of refusing to do others’ bidding if he wants to, he is a free member of the society with his own individuality and his own opinions. He follows the dictates of his own conscience in adhering to his mission of life without interference from others.It is not difficult to spot the type of persons needing centaury remedy. Here are a few examples.1. A normal girl who did not marry so that she could serve her old and invalid mother.2. A young and promising boy with an Engineering Degree sat on his father’s cloth shop because he could not go against the wishes of his father.3. A young handsome boy who could not marry his beautiful classmate because he could not refuse the orders of his mother who had selected an ugly daughter of a rich man to be her daughter-in-law.4. An educated and accomplished newly wed girl, who meekly submitted to the most unbecoming demands of her spoilt spouce, without protest.5. A person, who cannot refuse to do other’s work, in spite of his being extremely tired and physically weak.6. He unconsciously copies gestures, phrases and opinions of a stronger personality.*64\308\8*

The skin is self-cleansing and does not depend for its essential cleanliness on soap and water. If people exposed their bodies to the air and sun there would be no question about skin odours or other such things. But as the body has to be constantly clothed, then the ordinary water bath is of vital necessity.Other things being equal, the body should be washed all over once a day with soap and water. The full bath-tub makes this practice easy and luxurious but it is by no means entirely necessary. So far as cleanliness is concerned, there is no doubt that a large vessel of water may take the place of the bath, and, without immersing the body in the water, the wash-down can be made just as effective.The best time for the bath for ordinary people is just before retiring, so that all the secretions of the skin that have collected under the clothes can be removed before going to bed. If the full bath is taken it should not be too hot, because this will tend to increase the temperature of the body and stimulate the heart, and this makes sleep very difficult for some people. The ideal way to take the bath is to have the water pleasantly hot when getting into the bath and just cooling off when one leaves it. It is not necessary to use too much soap. If one lathers the feet, under the arms and other parts wherever the skin is in folds, then the rest of the body need only be lightly soaped.In addition to the ordinary cleansing bath one may, with advantage, use the Epsom salts bath occasionally even when the skin is healthy, as it seems to have a slightly stimulating effect upon it and is useful in relaxing all the muscles under the skin. About two pounds of crude Epsom salts may be added to the bath of fairly hot water, and from fifteen to twenty minutes may be spent in it comfortably relaxing.For those who have a really healthy skin and a system that can stand a good reaction the cold bath may be advised. The bath is filled, and the bather gets quickly in and out and rubs down vigorously. Such a procedure is not advised to those who are not sure of their general condition, and in any case one should go into a training period before making the plunge. On the other hand, the cold rub down is very stimulating to the skin and helps to keep it in good condition. Use a bowl of cold water and sponge the body over with it, and then rub down with a good rough towel. Those who find this too strenuous are advised to wring out a towel in cold or warm water, depending on their reaction, and rub down thoroughly with it. In this way the advantages of both the air-bath and the friction bath may be enjoyed.

A great deal of effort is now made by surgeons to preserve as much of the female figure as possible. And there have been many changes in recent years in the extent of surgical operations.If major surgery is required, some large centres back this up with reconstruction surgery. This offers the patient a relatively satisfactory final appearance. In fact, some large British hospitals routinely follow breast surgery with cosmetic surgery. They have found an enormous increase in the number of women now attending for breast checks. If surgery is required, much of the fear vanishes, for the patient knows that the final outcome will be relatively good and aesthetically pleasing.Even if a radical mastectomy is performed—in which the breast and the muscle tissue underneath, plus the lymph glands in the armpits are removed—many suitable prostheses are readily available. When these are expertly fitted, it is difficult for an observer to detect that surgery has occurred, from the outward appearance when dressed.Closer attention to the final outcome, cosmetically, is fortunately having a beneficial effect on many women. By removing the fear factor, it is permitting earlier diagnosis and treatment, the essential prerequisites to better long-term results.Check your breasts regularly yourself. Become an expert. If there is any question of a lump, or if you notice any abnormality whatsoever, visit your doctor immediately.*133\45\4*
