Dk Tails LECTURE LAST night, DR. Trail
lectured a. the rooms Of the Young Mems Chris
tiea Association upon hygienic medication Be-
FORE entering upon his lecture, the Doctor related
some Of his professional experience and alluded
tothe circumstances which led him to visit Wash
tRGtoa, where he said soldiers were diving of
rebels once In awhile, Of disease occasionally and
OF doctors and drugs very frequently. There are
bur tao systems Of medicine-ons ten years and
the other 90 years old. The former Is the drug
system: the latter the hygienic The drug sys-
would MAKE well person sick, while hygiene
only administers that which 10 used by every per-
son In health Nature has provided no remedies
Tor disease, as disease 10 the preservation Of life
not the result Of q violation Of the laws Of life
Disease Is q process OF publication. In fever the
patient needs food just as much as when well,
but the digestive organs cannot dispose o. 1t prop
er!v, as they are nusily engaged In purifying the
system. The functions Of the system are simply
nutrition ana publication, and there are but two
ways by which disease is engendered-one bv
taking impurities into the system, the other by
heir collection inside through the failure OF the
organs TO perform their proper functions. Thus,
when the lungs cease to operate properly they be-
come diseased, and consumption follows. Drown.

the itient, great desideratum in the treatment
Of disease, and nature, unobstructed by drugs
