HEAL THYSELF AND WAYS THAT HELP

by

The attainment is now much easier, the path is much smoother for would-be food reformers, and the reward is much greater. It is still true, however, that the way of the Reformer is more or less rough, and always will be, for the things in this world that are worth having are worth striving for. We should not appreciate them when we got them if it were otherwise.

I can only sum up by saying that to Heal Thyself the most important of the “Ways that help” is, in the words of Count Tolstoy, “the first step”, to become masters of our own stomachs, then all else is easy in comparison. Vegetarianism is a great help with this end in view, but reader rest assured it is only THE FIRST STEP.

SOME HEAL THYSELF CURES The first doctor I had as a child was a homoeopath in Dublin, fifty-five years ago, and I have always believed in Homoeopathy, but unfortunately never tried to study it until lately, though I have had Dr. Ruddocks book for the past twelve years, and remember curing myself of pneumonia with Aconite and Bryonia, and of a very bad attack of sciatica with the same remedies taken alternatively every hour for two days....
  2. HEAL THYSELF AND HOW NOT TO DO IT At the present time there is much agitation for "shorter hours of labour". With unity and good organization I see no reason why we should not all live in the land of plenty working less than forty hours per week. A far more important things is to learn how to spend the remaining 128 hours of leisure each week in a manner that will make every man and woman more fit than they have ever yet been during the forty working hours....
  3. A HEAL THYSELF DISCIPLE I am endeavouring to help others along the same path, but folk are very sceptical concerning the merits of the little snowballs. It is very difficult to get the desired remedy out here. We are slightly out of date, but I am hoping to advance in this branch of healing. I am only a novice, and would like to educate myself to be proficient....
  4. HOW TO HEAL BAD LEGS Perhaps the worse case of bed legs I have had to deal with was that of an old gentlemen. In his younger days he had been very active and successful in business, but now was retired. On both legs were several indolent ulcers, and since he was a septogenarian with low vitality, the case seemed hopeless. In fact he had himself given up all idea of betterment. Biochemists, however, are optimistic....
James Henry Cook
Henry W.J. Cook was born in Edinburgh in 1870, the eldest son of Dr Edmund Alleyne Cook.

Henry followed in his father's footsteps, obtaining his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from Durham in 1891. At the age of 27 he arrived in Melbourne in April 1894 aboard the Port Albert. He was registered as a medical practitioner in Victoria on 4 May 1894.

It appears that Dr Cook already believed in homœopathy, possibly because of his father's influence, as in 1895 Dr Cook took the position of Resident Surgeon of the Melbourne Homœopathic Hospital . (This position was previously held by Dr James Cook, unrelated, who resigned in March 1895). He was listed in the 1896 & 1897 editions of the Melbourne Post Office Directory as being Resident Medical Officer at the Melbourne Homœopathic Hospital, but not in the 1898 edition.

In 1901 he moved to Sale in Eastern Victoria, where he ran a practice in York Street. By 1909 his practice was at Wyndham Street, Shepparton.

By 1919 he had moved to 2 Studley Park Road, Kew, where he died on 7 May, 1923.
