TN T translating the present work I had in mind that large number of the English speaking people of the world who are to-day suffering under the lash of medical superstition, quackery and charlatanism; men and women and children who for want of proper education and understanding are groping about in darkness, and are constantly being imposed upon by human vipers who live and thrive upon the suffering and ignorance of their less fortunate fellowmen. "Return to Nature" was written by a man humanely inclined, and with a heart for the lowly as well as for all men who work towards the betterment of Humanity. May this volume be the means of spreading and propagating, health, peace and happiness, hope, faith and enlightenment in the thousand homes. It was in this spirit I undertook its translation and with this wish I respectfully dedicate it to the English-speaking people of America, and throughout the world.

Preface To The First Edition

I publish my book in celebration of the opening of the Jungborn.

The vernal sun is again shining in the sky, the gloomy Winter is gone. Snow and ice have yielded to the warm, bright sun, new life is sprouting in field and meadow, in wood and glen, the Easter bells are tolling, the festival of the resurrection has come.

I wish at the same time to add a friendly Easter greeting to all those who have already emerged from darkness to light, to all those whom my book may happily lead out of gloomy, dark, desolate, frosty paths into bright, sunny cheerfulness, to all my friends far and near.

Preface To The Fourth Edition

When I had finished the first edition of this book, and sent it as a message of glad tidings into a world full of disease and suffering, full of worry and restlessness, full of misery and unhappiness, the earth was putting forth its first green, and resurrection songs filled the air.

Three years have passed since then, men have not despised the glad tidings, but received them with joy and enthusiasm. The Jungborn, which is the heart and main artery of the enterprise, already blooms and prospers.

But in the meantime it has become necessary to expand and perfect my book in important respects.

W r hile I am engaged on this fourth and enlarged edition, nature appears in her brightest colors. Solemnly and joyously the bells are announcing the festival of Pentecost. The spirit of Pentecost is about to descend.

During the past three years my cause has become widely known all over the world. But the cause is nothing without the spirit. In many places the true spirit is still wanting ; sometimes, indeed, even an unclean spirit threatens to beset the cause.

May this new edition, with its many improvements, foster and spread the true spirit!

Filled by this sincere wish I send these old and many new teachings once more into the world, to all men and women who are seeking and longing, who are weeping and lamenting, who are groaning and sighing.
