Air is a substance of lesser density than water and of greater density than heat.

Air has a greater volume than any other substance connected with the earth. It completely covers the surface of the earth and extends outward to a distance of more than fifty miles.

As man was built to live on the outer crust of the earth surrounded by air the menorgs found certain elements of the air as well as the soil that became primarily useful and necessary to his existence.

The most important element of the Air that man depends upon for the life and movement of his body is Oxygen.

The chemists’ formula for oxygen gas known as O2 states that a molecule of oxygen gas consists of two atoms.

They standardize the weight of one oxygen atom as 16 and the weight of a molecule of oxygen gas as 32 in comparing molecular weights of gaseous substances.

Man breathes the air. If it were not for the external pressure of the air upon his body the internal pressure of the gases within would explode him.

The temperature of the air keeps man from either freezing or roasting.

The power to move the muscles of the body is caused by uniting oxygen gas from the air breathed with the digested fuel foods that cause oxidation.

Then the carbon dioxide waste matter—that ensues must be thrown out of the body quickly or death will result.

So the menorgs arranged a system of respiration to draw into the body of man the life giving elements from the air and throw out the death dealing gases of wastage.

A passageway from the nostrils to the lungs was provided through which currents of air are drawn to the lungs and currents of waste gases are forced back into the air.

The lungs are like a pair of elastic bags and become inflated when suction draws air into them and deflated when pressure squeezes it out again.

The tubes leading into the lungs are gradually decreased to microscopic size in order to decrease the substance entering the minute suction and pressure chambers to a gaseous density befitting the sphere and scope that the menorgs have to live and work in.

The combined power from simultaneous action of countless minute suction stations draws into and expands the lungs with the elements of the air and by their combined pressure causes the lungs to contract and throw out the waste gases drawn from the blood corpuscles brought there from all parts of the body.

It is all accomplished by operating the machinery according to the Natural Law of suction and pressure which causes expansion and contraction. Just two movements are required—draw in and squeeze out.

When man fails to pull into himself an equal quantity of natural elements to that which are pushed out of him then he is squeezed to death by external pressure.
