2Muchos más frecuentes son los otros dos temperamentos: eléctrico y magnético.
3El temperamento eléctrico es el temperamento de los hombres positivos, volitivos, enérgicos, activos, proyectores, como los hombres de acción, los hipnotizadores, etc.; en una palabra, los que influencian a todos los otros mediante la acción, la palabra, el gesto y la actividad mental y espiritual.
4El temperamento magnético, por el contrario, es el temperamento de los hombres negativos, receptivos, pasivos, como los hombres que tienen propensión para recibir más bien que dar, los hipnotizables, los místicos, los santos, los artistas en general, los sensitivos y, en su forma extrema, los médium.
5Claro está que no existen hombres de temperamento exclusivamente magnético, pues todos son eléctricos y magnéticos a la vez; la diferencia entre los primeros y los segundos, está solo en la preponderancia de un temperamento sobre otro.
6Ahora bien, la alimentación no puede ser idéntica para todos, ya que cada hombre necesita la que le es más apropiada.
7Como hay órganos prevalentemente eléctricos como las glándulas en general, el cerebro, la médula oblongada, la médula espinal, los pulmones, riñones, corazón, etc. Como hay órganos prevalentemente magnéticos como el hígado, el estómago, los huesos, los intestinos y el mismo “plexo solar”, que es un poderoso centro magnético.
8Así también es preciso suministrar al organismo alimentos prevalentemente eléctricos, como las hortalizas y demás alimentos ricos en sales minerales, alimentos prevalentemente magnéticos como las frutas, dulces y demás alimentos ricos en hidratos de carbono, como el azúcar, la miel, etc., y alimentos casi neutros como los cereales, papas, mandioca, tapioca, nueces, almendras, piñones, avellanas, porotos, lentejas, habas secas, garbanzos, bananas, castañas, etc.
9Esta breve exposición nos ha permitido apreciar la enorme importancia y el papel primordial que desempeñan los alimentos para el mantenimiento de nuestra Salud, sea física, como moral y mental.
10Estudiándonos a nosotros mismos, conociendo nuestra verdadera modalidad de ser, podremos, aplicando sabia y constantemente los principios y los conocimientos expuestos más arriba, llegar, no salvamente a recobrar la salud perdida, sino también mantenerla constantemente en nuestro ser integral y poder ser, así, debido a ella, siempre jóvenes y alegres (Continuará) PAZ A TODOS LOS SERES U A M 18

2Much more frequent are the other two temperaments: electric and magnetic.
3The electric temperament is the temperament of positive, volitional, energetic, active, projecting men — such as men of action, hypnotisers, etc.; in a word, those who influence all others by action, word, gesture, and mental and spiritual activity.
4The magnetic temperament, on the contrary, is the temperament of negative, receptive, passive men — such as men who have a propensity to receive rather than to give, the hypnotisable, the mystics, the saints, artists in general, sensitives and, in its extreme form, mediums.
5Clearly there exist no men of exclusively magnetic temperament, for all are electric and magnetic at once; the difference between the first and the second lies only in the preponderance of one temperament over the other.
6Now, alimentation cannot be identical for all, since each man needs the one most appropriate to him.
7As there are prevalently electric organs — such as the glands in general, the brain, the medulla oblongata, the spinal cord, the lungs, kidneys, heart, etc. — as there are prevalently magnetic organs — such as the liver, the stomach, the bones, the intestines and the "solar plexus" itself, which is a powerful magnetic centre —
8so also it is necessary to supply the organism with prevalently electric foods, such as garden vegetables and the other foods rich in mineral salts; prevalently magnetic foods, such as fruits, sweets and the other foods rich in carbohydrates, like sugar, honey, etc.; and almost neutral foods, like cereals, potatoes, manioc, tapioca, walnuts, almonds, pine-nuts, hazelnuts, beans, lentils, dry broad beans, chickpeas, bananas, chestnuts, etc.
9This brief exposition has permitted us to appreciate the enormous importance and the primordial role foods play in the maintenance of our Health, physical as well as moral and mental.
10Studying ourselves, knowing our true modality of being, we shall be able — applying wisely and constantly the principles and knowledge set forth above — to succeed not only in recovering lost health [Sic: the original prints "no salvamente".], but also in maintaining it constantly in our integral being, and thus, thanks to it, be always young and joyful.

New masthead line: "For remittances from abroad, we prefer N. City Bank" — the National City Bank of New York's Montevideo branch; the review's foreign readership now warrants banking instructions.
The SUMARIO announces the Janardanam translation from Madras — the Suddha column now imports whole essays.
Jehel's initiatic curriculum vitae, printed: initiated 1922, visible direction of the Order assumed 1936, administrative and ritual structure reorganised 1939 — the reform decree's preamble is the most exact autobiographical dating he has given.
The June 1944 reforms: decreed for 9 June ("the date of greatest moral force of each year" — Lévi's commemoration), announced publicly in the review on the argument that Martinism hides only the too-sacred. The reform's five planks: de-masonisation (all resemblance to masonic rites eliminated, "the time of secret societies has passed"), suppression of pompous titles, briefer theory / more practice, corporeal preparation entering every degree, and visible East-West union.
Reviewed against the concealment mandate: the reform text describes its own collectivity ("enormous majority… of white race and Christian formation") and ranks the Christian revelation as fittest for "the present white civilisation" — self-description and supersessionist doctrine, not evidence-claims about living peoples; and the same page immediately mandates equal honour to Buddhism and Taoism and declares woman's absolute initiatic equality. Kept under the ratified boundary, with this note as the review's record.
"Martinism definitively refuses to place woman in a situation of inferiority and recognises in her the most absolute equality of spiritual — that is to say, initiatic — possibility" — printed June 1944, and consistent with the run's practice: Lorelair, Maya, Martha and Upasika all hold teaching or council positions.
The fraternities named as beyond the Martinist door now include Gnosticism and spell out H.A.B.M. for the first time: "Hermanos Asiáticos del Brillante Misterio" (Asiatic Brothers of the Brilliant Mystery) — the masthead's most mysterious initials finally glossed by the editor himself.
The three-list system (never mix List One with List Three; List Two goes with anything) — trophology's food-combining doctrine, printed as a complete household technology with the 127-item alphabetical list that follows.
The 127-entry food list is a Rioplatense pantry inventory of 1944 — boniato, choclo, zapallitos, radicheta, dulce staples and the porteño ravioli — the run's most concrete document of its material culture, preserved item by item.
The morning lemon, the weekly fast, the no-supper ideal, and the strike-through method for building a personal regime — the counsel column at its most practical; kidney and liver regimens follow with period clinical detail.
The pennyroyal (poleo) infusion, six or seven leaves, covered a quarter hour, "always without sugar" — herbalism enters the run's pharmacopoeia.
With the planets done, the course opens the zodiac: Aries first, on the standing pair of authorities, plus the faces (5° divisions) from "Dr. Salmon" — the seventeenth-century Christian Astrology tradition — and Julevno's decanates. The physiognomic detail is the densest yet.

The closed-fist variant "closes the electric circuit" to receive terrestrial prana — the asana course and Kapila's electricity-of-the-body article (three pages later) are one doctrine in two genres.
The three vibratory temperaments — Neutral (the adepts'), Electric (projectors, hypnotisers), Magnetic (mystics, sensitives, mediums) — with organs and foods sorted into the same polarity scheme: the series' whole dietetics resolving into Mesmerist physics.
Census: 88 → 92 (Argentina 50, Brazil 11, Uruguay 31 — Argentina now the majority). April protocol 797–963: 167 documents in one month, by far the run's heaviest traffic.

The Wesak report: Montevideo's 4 a.m. ceremonial "attended by almost all", synchronised with the Chilean Section and with "the Solemn Act which the Great Siddhas celebrated at Visala Badari" — the mythic Badari ashram of the S.D.M. hierarchy — with a telegram from Santiago as the visible relic.
Janardanam's essay (from The Suddha Dharma, Nov-Dec 1936) — the S.D.M. Director's defence of organised religion — translated whole: the run now serialises the Madras organ directly, not only the Pandit's notes.
The essay ends in the S.D.M.'s messianic key: the world's chaos correctable only by a Superhuman Being — "when the Lord Mitra Deva comes to act among men" — the same Avatara whose 25th incarnation anniversary Chile feasted in Nº 24. Printed in June 1944, the week of Normandy.
Régnault's orientation experiments tabulated with dates (19-3-1923, 30-6/1-7-1925 with Lancelin, 17-5-1926): lymphocyte shifts, blood-pressure and corpuscle counts by compass heading — the run reproducing French biodynamics' raw tables, decimal commas and all.
The conclusion circles back to the ancients: head-north sleep vindicated by minimal magnetic influence, Müller's Zurich neurometer concurring — the column's standing thesis (modern instruments confirm initiate practice) at its most complete.
The GIDEE prospectus is rebuilt: courses now listed by teacher — Jehel (Cosmogony, Kabbalah, Alchemy, Magnetism), Kapila (Yogas, Dietetics, Chiromancy), Pitágoras (Androgony), Surya (Judicial astrology), Martha (History of the Hermetic Traditions), and a new name: Sister UPASIKA: The doctrine of the Buddha — a Buddhism chair at the Montevideo school. Buenos Aires reopens April 1944 with a telephone (42-4129); La Plata's contact changes to B. Rodríguez Meitín, Calle 60.

A second publishing line appears: the Library of the Kabbalistic Rose Cross Order, at Editorial Kier — Sevaka's novel El Hijo de Zanoni (the Bulwer-Lytton continuation by Lorenz), Sédir's Hindu Fakirism, and Franz Hartmann's In the Pronaos of the Temple of Wisdom. The Martinist Library adds Schuré's Divine Evolution. Kier — the Buenos Aires esoteric house that would dominate the century — enters the run by name.
The printer changes: Dornaleche Hnos. (Cerro Largo 783) gives way to Tall. Gráf. Castro y Cía., Yi 1657 — read from a marginally legible photographed line and flagged uncertain in the transcription.
The faces of Aries with their fixed stars (Tail of the Whale, Head and Girdle of Andromeda) — the older star-lore layer beneath the decanates, kept with its printed typos glossed.
The rejuvenation series restates its vibratory thesis with the ionic chemistry of the day — tropisms, semipermeable membranes, cathodic and anodic tendencies — the medicalised register at its most current.
Janaka as the king who held both offices — the essay's proof-text that rule and realisation can coexist, from the Gita the S.D.M. reads in 26 chapters.
Aries on the Midheaven by faces: soldiers, surgeons, butchers, metal-workers — the trade-list astrology that keyed the era's vocational counselling.
"Religion is at once subjective and objective, spiritual and material" — the essay's refrain; its sociology of hypocrisy (verbiage convincing neither speaker nor hearer) is its sharpest page.
Electric men project, magnetic men receive — with mystics, saints, artists and mediums on the receptive pole: the temperament typology that underwrites the whole feeding-by-polarity table on this page.
