tory the ordinary term Of human lfe was ut least
eight times longer than II IL now. II Is, therefore,
manifest that the stamina Of man has seriously
declined in the lapse Of ages.
1t is significant fact that, during this progress
OF human degeneration and decay, an immense
number of powerful poisous have been introduced
inte the medical repertoire, while tho mild. veget-
able system Of treatment, exclusively prnctiecd

measure abandoned by the medical profession -
This Is n curious eoieidcnce. and Il suggests the
possibility Of direct connection between the

One thing. at least. IL certain, viz: That tho nv

power Is the natural antagonist OF all the inau-
