COMMENT on EVERY SIDE,
while people seem investigating and advancing in
every direction which can help them morally, men
tally or physically.
sThis specially true of the human body and every
thing which concerns and the truths which the PEG
have found, in the last fifty years, are simply
marvellous. How really ignorant some cultured and
supposedly scientific peop.e were only a few years
ago. as compared with the present day, may be bet

The speaker then graphically described another
period which cane upon the people, in which they
assigned the origin of all diseases to the stomach,
and showing the falsity of this theory and that
the kidneys and liver the of disease and

delicate Of all created things 1t is capable of the
greatest results and it is. liable to the greatest dis
orders. The slightest causes sometimes to
throw its delicate machinery out of order while
the most simple and common sense restores
and keeps them in perfect condition. When ii
is remembered that the amount of happiness or
misery to have in this world is dependent
upon the perfect body is it not strange that simple
precautions and care are not exercised! This is one
OF the most vital questions of life People may avoid
