130: O THOU DISTINGUISHED PHYSICIAN!... PRAISE BE ...

O thou distinguished physician!... Praise be to God that thou hast two

powers: one to undertake physical healing and the other spiritual healing.

Matters related to man's spirit have a great effect on his bodily

condition. For instance, thou shouldst impart gladness to thy patient,

give him comfort and joy, and bring him to ecstasy and exultation. How

often hath it occurred that this hath caused early recovery. Therefore,

treat thou the sick with both powers. Spiritual feelings have a surprising

effect on healing nervous ailments.
