"Nothing that is possible in spirit is impossible in flesh and blood. Nothing that man can think is impossible. Nothing that man can imagine is impossible of realization" -- W.D. Wattles

This book is the second of a series by Wallace D. Wattles, the first of which is "The Science of Getting Rich." The Science of Getting Well is for those who want better health, and who want a practical guide and handbook that will lead the way. The book instructs the reader in the use of the universal Principle of Life in a plain and simple way, so that even if one has not previously studies metaphysics of New Thought, they will still be able to follow it to perfect health.

The book deals with science, and not mere speculation. The monistic theory of the universe - the theory that matter, mind, consciousness, and life are all manifestations of One substance - is now accepted by most thinkers; and if you also accept this theory, then you cannot deny the logical conclusions you will find in this book. The methods of thought and action prescribed herein have been tested by the author himself, and in the case of hundreds of others during twelve years of pratice, with continuous and unfailing success. The Science of Being Well not only works, but wherever its laws are complied with, it can no more fail to work than the science of geometry can fail to work. If the tissues of your body have not been so destroyed that continued life is impossible, then you can get well; and if you think and act in a Certain Way, you will get Well. The Science of Being Well contains powerful advice on health and eating, drinking, breathing, and sleeping. If one is to attain perfect health, one must form the idea of perfect health within himself and then strive to lead this life in a perfect and healthy manner.

Before man can think in the Certain Way which will cause his diseases to be healed, he must believe in certain truths which are here stated:-- All things are made from one Living Substance, which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. While all visible things are made from It, yet this Substance, in its first formless condition is in and through all the visible forms that It has made. Its life is in All, and its intelligence is in All...

If you would consciously relate yourself to the All-Health, your purpose must be to live fully on every plane of your being. You must want all that there is in life for body, mind, and soul; and this will bring you into harmony with all the life there is. The person who is in conscious and intelligent harmony with All will receive a continuous inflow of vital power from the Supreme Life; and this inflow is prevented by angry, selfish or antagonistic mental attitudes...

In forming a conception of health, it is necessary to think of the manner in which you would live and work if you were perfectly well and very strong; to imagine yourself doing things in the way of a perfectly well and very strong person, until you have a fairly good conception of what you would be if you were well. Then take a mental and physical attitude in harmony with this conception; and do not depart from this attitude. You must unify yourself in thought with the thing you desire; and whatever state or condition you unify with yourself in thought will soon become unified with you in body. The scientific way is to sever relations with everything you do not want, and to enter into relations with everything you do want. Form a conception of perfect health, and relate yourself to this conception in word, act, and attitude...
