CAN DISEASE BE PREVENTED F.?


The question is often asked, cannot we do some
thing to prevent disease And it is often asked by
those who, as It appears by their inquiries, enter
tain hope that means are known which may enable
them to Wholly escape it. We do not entertain the OPP
inion, neither do believe il possible wholly es-
cape al the evils of disease for we are constanyex
posed to those causes which may produce them That
something may be done to palliate disease, and to
render those aches and pains, which think may
with much propr1ety say notes OF alarm. and
cedes and forewarns of disease and in degree
to prevent tits possible. Should be afflicted with
palns--be they small or large in degree-we may do
something to avoid similar effects from similar Giro
umstances should we again be placed within their in
huence. The best method we adopt, to accomplish
such purpose-yea, the only method by which we
can do It, with degree of certainty is exercise
our powers OF observation and reflection in relation
TO this matter We have such, they assist us in all
our avocanons; they constitute the greatest distinc
ton OF superiority between man and brutes; exer

we not do so in relation to healths Is that of less
importance than other matters Brutes exercise their
faculties for such purpose; they are never yolunta

and do not peceive any reason why man should not
exercise his faculties and also be exempt from habits
