ness knocking at your door or see Death
threatening you with his dart, youwill live
as you list. accuse you of eating un-
wholesome food at unreasonable hours,
indicated with poisons, and sauced with
mischief. Iaccuse you of stimulating the
stomach stimulating the mouth, stimu-
lating the mind and heart, overworking
the stomach, the skin, the kidneys and
lungs, and underwriting the teeth, the
salivary glands, and intestines. accuse
you of wearing clothing, contrived with
little reference to freedom of movement,
protection against cold or the free action
of the skin. | charge that in your mis-
guided and hap-hazard attempts to i'm
prove your house and make it con. Portable,
you have spared neither money or pains
to shut out the pure breath of Heaven, and
shut in the deadly cxhalations from your
own lungs and skin. l still further al
lege, that you pursue your own present
qualification at the expense of future pain
and sickness to yourself, and weakness,
depravity, and suffering to your offspring.
More than this charge the unthinking,
pleasure-loving public, that when the
penalty of your violence has been paid, in
stead of recognizing it as such, you have
laid it to diseases, evil spirits, the Evil
One and even charged it upon your Heav-
emily Father Instead Of reforming your
habits you have tried charms, manitos,
lamentations, gashing and manning the
body, scrapings of skull, the foul ex-
cretions of every unclean beast, or rubbing
with rattlesnakes oil, the seventh sons or
dead mans hand, and when your doctors
have tried to find some more decent pois-
ons for you, you have taken this complais-
ance for free license ascribed your re-
covery to the doses they gave you, and
so taken alternate plunges in sin and
physic.
Most ungratefully you have forsaken
the doctors good advice, and the pill he
permitted, for cheaper Patent Poison, with
no advice, except to take the same in
season or daily as preventive. Be-
cause now and then doctor has allowed
you to think he had wonderful skill to
discover and combat disease, you have
gone after dreamers, jugglers, and workers
of modern miracles because he accorded
to your present pain puke or a purge,
you have come to look lovingly on what
soeYcr Nature 50 abhors, as to heave out,
cast out, sweat out, or wash out, in the
shortest possibly way. When you are
well, you sneer at his violent measures,
and make graveyard jokes at his expense.
When sick, you clamor for his most Vi
porous stuff, double distilled, and if he
tries to use reason for you, apply to some
reckless kill-or-cure, who will, at least, get
up grand sensation in the neighborhood.
You have forgotten that gsg Nature has
any power to reform, any efficacy. You
have forsaken God, and gone away after
idols "Surely you have been filled with
your own devices"
Doyou feel guilty? Then is there good
reason for Health Reform. Not guilty :?
prove your Wanting true, and it shall
please me we'll" You will prove one Of
the best of health reformers.
Objections answered. l. Tam almost
a hundred years old. have eat, worn,
chewed, smoked and drunk anything con-
venient, never washed my whole body in
my life, nor paid any attention to what l
breathed-oxy-gin, and high-gin, all the
same to me. Answer. Many persons,
with strong constitutions like yours, have
lived in the enjoyment Of health 100 to
100 years. Ifyou in spite of bad habits
can hobble along as far as ninety, the pre-
sumption is, that with good ones you
would have lived much longer, and better.
Besides the anything you have eaten,
CHANGED to be good, plain coarse food
thanks to new country, and best of ALL
you breathed pure air indoors and out
by night as we'll as day, thanks to the
cracks and crevices and open ire-places.
Your active outdoor life tended to coun-
teract the glass of pure grog which, after
