IN ths Anatomy and Physiology Of the Or
grHs Of Respiration.
In this age, when men and women assert
and claim their right to reason and inv e.ti-
gate all things pertaining to their weii-being,
their moral. mental, and physical welfare. all
efforts TO cnlighten the public mind should
nee, with general appreciation. 1t does not
follow. however, that these efforts must be
approved only as they become the indictments
to mental activity ia others. whereby truth and
error-good and eyil-may be distinguished a,
they pass through the fiery ordeal Of criticism
The revelations Of modern science have
given an impetus TO the public mind, unexam.
pied in the past, in carrying on lis invsstiga-
tions, by sitting Truth from Error. Every de-
partment OF life has been acted upon-com.
merce travel, social intercourse, international
law, popular education, have all been carried
forward toward more complete de,e opmen,.
The arts Of living have been simplfied, the
Injuries Of all classes multiplied, and the
facilities afforded in every way Tor increa sing
Popular knowledge augmented in an untold
ratio. The principles Of criticism have mar.
rowed down from the time vi Blair, to one
simple qucstiOn-tul bono! 10 what purpose ?
Men and women ask, "Oi what use are theo.
res schools, or doxes, il they fail in pr actce ?,
Life is q practical matter, not theore etical
speculation; it is personal, with active duties,
no part Of which can be delegated to others
without loss-indiyidual, accepts RESPONSE

Wisdom, they must think, else The fowery
plains Of existence become Is arid wastes.
Health Is unquestionably q matter of the
first Importance to every one. 1t Is practical
and personal as life. II may be called art Of
living.-or you may dignity it further Is the
science Of life. II life is vauable-if its pre-
servation is thing Of consequence, can there
be 8 more important matter brought under
