NATURE IS the GREAT PHYSICIAN,

This is now admitted, BY the medical
PROFESSION as fundamental principle o
healing science. It is wisely provided by
the human economy that whenever any
thlng is wrong in the physical system tLe
natural forces of the body are brought to
bear to expel the disease. The rreot aim
therefore, is to strengthen the natural
powers. This has been kept in view nv

give fresh vitality to all the organs of the
