the power of the Earth’s suction and still be able to rise from the crust of the Earth to move about.
 To accomplish this his body must not contain too much weight, or too little weight, and therefore it must be constructed of substances in such a manner that it can be moved away from the Earth in momentary acts through power furnished by the marvelous system of double acting, spring-like muscles that are moved by his own internal suction and pressure.
 In order to maintain a body of this kind each and every cell composing it must be properly balanced by suction and pressure in their relation to PENETRABILITY so that the structure itself will be balanced throughout.
 Each organ of the body must be balanced separately and in unison with each other so that harmonious action can be established and the whole mass act together as one.
 EQUAEVERPOISE of man is effected principally in three ways: (1) Nourishment, (2) Action, (3) Rest.
 Food furnishes the substances to build and repair the structure as well as for fuel for power.
 Action creates suction and pressure which alternately draws nourishment into the cells and squeezes the changed matter out of them.
 Rest affords time for storing up nourishment to replace that used up by action.
 The quality and quantity of substances drawn into the body for nourishment; exercises that will develop and keep in action the maximum number of muscles; and, sufficient rest for recuperation purposes are the foundation of efficiency and longevity.
 Incorrect functioning of muscular movements; improper substances drawn into the system; and insufficient rest will destroy the balance that keeps man alive.
 The center of suction or pull in man is located about the center of weight and is near the center of gravity.
 The Earth’s suction or pull tends to draw the weight of man downward and this pull must be offset by the pull of man’s suction in the opposite direction in order that he can stand up straight, balance himself and move about.
 This balance cannot be maintained if the diaphragm is allowed to sag downward toward the abdomen through the pull of the Earth’s suction and the push of the weight above it.  This tendency can be checked in a large measure by man constantly drawing the muscles of the chest upward by exercise and deep breathing practices.
 As the diaphragm loses its strength and sags below its normal line of balance, through lack of exercise by internal suction and pressure, the top part of the body of man begins to droop or stoop and is gradually drawn downward toward the center of the Earth’s suction until finally he can no longer stand upright and he passes away.
 In building and operating man the Menorgs use water to a large extent. Water-power is used to run the machinery of man.
