This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... The Brain and the Nerves />TpHE brain and the nerves constitute the means through -*. which man the creature comes closely in touch with God the Creator. The brain and the nerves together constitute the seat of the mind, the consciousness, the will, the thinking, feeling, governing organs. The brain and nerves are commonly described separately as independent organs, but in reality they are one. The thinking and feeling organ, as the whole together might be called, centers in the cranial cavity, but occupies the whole body. The smallest brain conceivable is a minute mass of transparent material, of irregular shape, and so small that several hundred ranged in line would make a row only an inch long. The scientific name of such a structure is a nerve cell, or neuron. A neuron consists of a body with elongations or branching parts. One of these branches is commonly very greatly elongated, often to the extent of several inches, ending in a delicate tuft. The accompanying cut gives a representation of a typical neuron. Nerve cells have many different forms. A very interesting branching form is'presented in the cut. Every cell of this sort is a center of nervous activity, a seat of intelligence, a source of energy, a living battery in which energy is generated, or rather in which the energy derived from the food is set free, and made to appear in vital work. The mass of matter within the cranium that we call the brain, is simply an assemblage of these little brains, comprising in all the enormous number of more than 100,000, NERVE CELLS 389 000,000. Similar cells are found in all parts of the body, -- in the heart, the lungs, the stomach, the liver, in the walls of the blood vessels, in the skin. Their prolonged branches constitute the nerve.

This is the book that got Dr. John Harvey Kellogg removed from Seventh-day Adventist Chuch membership. He had helped to form many of the health distinctives that the church still advocates. The administration of the church found the content of The Living Temple heretical and accused JHK of advocating pantheism.
Kellogg was summarily dismissed from SDA membership. My grandfather took dictation for this book and related that John Harvey tried, on several occasions to gain audience with those who had condemned the content of TLT. They refused even when Kellogg offered to change the portions they found objectionable.
The book was later modified, but the church never gave welcomed Kellogg back into church membership. TLT represents an interesting epoch to any SDA Church historian, if not a candidate for an enjoyable weekend read.
