OF yitality-a. perfect goneness. 1t was
once called iaziness. 1t is now known as
n dreadful and hated disease, and is the
reason why you have cold extremities,
feyers, infiammations, and Instructions,
spinal disease, and an innumerabe
amount of pains; and not the least
of all these, why we have periodical
drunkenness. No one needs our sym
pathy and deserves the broad mantle oil
charity extended him more than the Pc
riodical drunkard. He will tell you 1t is not
the toue or habit that prompts him to drink
neither is it that he does not comprehend
the terrible consequences growing out OF
its use: but that he is attacked ut Certain
periods by gradual approaches, finally Gull
miuating in an understandable gnawlng feel
ing at the pit OF the stomach and nervous
prostratioT that perYades the entire system,
such as seems to demand without delay q
powerful opiate, OF, what is more conVe-
niept, glass OF whiskey, which will for the
time being appease those dreadful suffer
incs: but once taken, and the system mo-
mentarily braced, he repeats the dose over
and over for the same reason, until the
stomach is finally unloaded Of all its con-
tents, including not only the Wbiskey, but
base feymented and decomposed food ana
dead mucous matter IT had previously accu
mulated.
This and this only was the cause of al
the mischief that produced the aboYe-de
scribed symptoms and not until this un
loading is completed and the dormdn
stomach and torpid iOer begin their work
of secretions can. he be free OF this, his pc
riodical. mental, and physical disease. Here
again the liver and stomach play most inn
portant part inilife. A healthy. stomach only
will save the periodical drunkard. 1t Is
high time this question was better under
stood. Further on / will tell you a sure
preventive. My friends and suffering hu
manity, this is vital point tor you TO un
derstand, and remember that the cause OF
.r. . NEARLY ALL YOUR ILLS
begin at the first stomach. First, obviate
the primary cause by avoiding indiscre-
lions. Reduce yourself to- systematic mode
of living. DO not eat too much, and never
hurriedly. Never swallow your food until
it is thoroughly masticated. Ii you are g
clergyman, never eat within an hour before
Speaking or within an hour afterwards
Digestion ceases while the brain is very &C.
tive. And to my young female friends, lei
me implore OF you, give your vltals full
scopc. Avoid tight lacing. Throw your
corsets, unnatural instruments. to the four
winds: or, what is better, let the women
throughout the land JOIN hands in cremating
them ali. Continuous tight lacing is certain
suicide. Millions have already paid the
penalty of this crime. Millions more are
continuing to suffer the keenest fortunes
of mind and body in consequence OF their
use. And vast number are hopelessly
beyond restoration. Stop before it Is
too late. Send good blood and healthy
fluids into the system and you will soon
find your liver works we'll enough; also,
the heart, kidneys, lungs, and the entire
system. Again, | repeat it, the liver IS
seldom wrong when the stomach is right:
and I would add, By way OF preface
that no human being ever had fever, fe
yer and ague, or yellow-fever, who had
sound, healthy stomach and liver. These
last two diseases come from decomposeC
vegetable matter that yaporizes and per-
vades the atmosphere with its poison ant
is taken into the system, but never lodge:
there while the various organs perform
their proper functions. So with any Other
feyers. So long as there are no obstruc
tons those diseases are impossible. But il
on the contrary, we find ourselves complain
ing more or less, we rush headlong for
remedy--some poison Us an antidote to xii
a poison. The disease may be in the form
OF biliousness, which is mild type OF ma
laria, manufactured in the stomach; or if j
Is fever and ague, a more violent type o.
malaria. We persevere day in and day out
and as have seen for thirty and forty years
using some Of the so-called drugs hereto
fore mentioned poisons. The result is We
find ourselves burdened with a complexion
as yellow as safron.bag. and disease tina
alternates between constipation, diarrhGa
and all other trouble before mentioned.
In cold weather We long for the fire. II
warm weather there is feeling Of lassitude
The reasons are you have neglected thu
original cause.-The stomach-and substi
tuted medicine, a poison, or ylllainou
cathartic, to treat all these ills specifically
