Wn0t was inc matter, DUJ you WOWu
know ut once. ard you would say,
the millions of pores throughout my
body are close the four pounds OF
matter that should pass of daily is
retained. and L must throw open
these little mouths Immediately by
somo htse simple teo, aud by wrap
ping myself in blankets until perspi-
ration is produced, and then | must
rub my body dry with course
towel, and shall be well again; and
when you overload your stomach,
ind swallowed your food whole, you
would say | must stop eating for a
day anl drink cold water, and begin
again by eating wholesome food, aud
masticating it thoroughly AMI my
body will soon be healthy again 90
Now supp bse you had waited I'M
til sick enough and then sent for II
bhvsiciqu. aud he had Latinzcl you
with dru rs, and She fact That You be.
ling too III tD sat In allowed the su-
peribun lance of food - pass oil. and
you recover sufficiently 10 swallow
more indigostible food and get i'll
again i'll consequence. How many
times think You will your system
bear this rack and torture way of
dealing with your fearfully and won
lcrfully made organism
Those who are ignorant Of the laws
Of health ARE troIiins on dangerous
ground. which Mt any moment is lia-
hlr to put m end to their existence.
Ten thousand facts stare us in the
face to prove the truth of this assar
ton.
Look over the world and SEQ how
many millions there axe bcwlilmy the
loss Of health Sound bodies are to
dny almost the exception instead Of
the rule. Nearly every natural rre
mature death in the world is caused
through ignorance OF the laws Of
health and willingness - intrust lie
and health to the care of those who
depend upon sickness for living.
Go to the cupboard Of nearly every
family i'll the land, and you will find
bottle after bottle of Patent Medicine
standing there, that two or three
times day finds It's way into the
stomach of some Of that poor. iSnor
ant, trusting family, depicting the
purse, and working iucalculablo in
Jury 10 the system, and all for the
want OF Just little anatomical and
physiological knowledge. The cost
of one bottle of Patent medicine
would purchase the necessary books
to instruct you; and the hours that
you suffer groan and lamont over
your lost health would be sufficient
time To put in possession Of facts
that would, as far as you were inter
tercstcd, consigu every bottle OF Pat
ont medicine to an ctornal grave
where it belongs, and if not too far
gone with disease You might restore
your body toa healthy condition and
live To II good old age.
TO prove the efficacy of knowing
and observing the laws of health we
have but to refer to numbers Of facts
On record of mere wrecks of human
ity attaining great longevity by Sim
Misunderstanding and obeyinS Ma
ture : laws.
And to proye the inoilicacy Of
drugs and physicians we have but to
90 into our crowded grave yards all
over the land and read how many are
cut down in the flower Of youth and
then look abroad again, and see how
many millions there are who are con
stnntly dosing with medicine, and
under physicians care without apar
ticlc of relief and again, the dying
testimony Of physicians, after Il life
time of practice, that exercise, air
and diet are the three best physicians
in the world
If these facts are not convincing
proofs that m understanding and OBJ
seryance of the laws of health are in
initely superior to drugs and pbysi-
clans inkeeping and restoring health,
then we think, although one should
rise from the dead and proclaim these
facts you would not believe.
