have been favored by nature with strong consti-
tutions and vigorous frames apt to neglectthe
precautions necessary to preserve these precious
endowments. Indeed, rs q rule, the more healthy
and Adjust man is, the more liberties he is in
clined to take with his own physique. It is some
consolation to the naturally weak and feeble to
know that they can be so invigoracd and built
up by proper use Of The means which science
has placed at their disposal, as to have much
better chance of long life and exemptions from
disease and pain, than the most athletic of their
fellows who are foolish enough to suppose them
selves invulnerable, and act accordingly.
1t is not too much 10 say that more than half
the people of the civilized world need an occasional
tonic, to enable them to support the strain upon
their bodies and minds, which the fast life of this

an hunter declares that the reason why the wild
deer are not all killed when young Gas they breed
once year. and are always surrounded by other
animals which prey upon them, as dogs, wolves,
bears, panthers, etc., is that "no dog or other
animal can smell the track of doe fawn while
the latter is too yonng to take care of itself"
lie states that he had often seen it demonstrated.
He had taken his dog ovef the ground where lie
had just before seen them pass, and they would
take no notice of the track, and could not be in
duced to follow when taken to the spot, yet they
would instantly discover the track of any deer
not having young ones. This if true, is but one
proof of the adaptation of the natural laws to
preserve life when it most needs protection.
