| nestle in every mans bosom. There's no
e telling when a mans sins nav show them
= selves, for hares pop out of the ditch Just
when you are not looking for them. A horse
that is weak in the legs NAV not stumble for
! a mile or two. but it is in him. and the rider
had better hold him IN well. The tabby cat
is not lappine milk lust now. but leave the
dairy door open. and we will see if she is not

Our nbvsicians rs n class-witb some
very nr,;sewortbv excentions-content them
selves with doing what little they can In cure
disease. and take very little trouble In dis
, cover how it can be prevented. They are
not. perhaps. TO blame for this. for they are
too often consulted only in sickness. and
their advice as TO the conduct of daily life is
not often sought. and is sometimes resented.
Men and women are apt to think themselves
quite competent Judges of what thev shall
eat and drink, and do not care to be bother
ed with ssrules'' as to their dress and exer-
else. or to be interfered with in the building
of their houses, the arrangement of their
slecping-rooms, or the arrangement of their
fires Yet it should be possible for physi-
clan, whose authority on occasions is greater
than that of any other person, to expose
great many popular falacies in regard to
what is and what is not safe and healthful
in everyday living If he would thoroughly
inform himself; if he would keep track Of
the experiments constantly making. and the
discoveries resulting in sanitary science; il
he could show his patrons that he was fitted
to advise. his advice would he yery valuable,
and would be very generally accepted
