Like all pioneers, his early efforts were nm
successful. but his ability and the value of
his work soon won public confidence. and

come here for the same reason that went
to Boston twenty-five years ago. Then
Boston was the best platform in the coun.
Try from which to speak of education. New
York has now become most hospitable to
progressive thoughts, and especially so TO
movements on behalf of physical training.
u have reason to know the great and
abiding interest of the American people In
this subject. They have come to realize
that the future of our country pivots upon
our physical vitality, and especially upon the
vigor OF our women. My new magazine
will bear the title 'Dio Lewis's Monthly, ;
and. be devoted to Sanitary and Social
Science. l hope through its pages to in.

Have you not written several books on
the subiect?"
Yes, nine volumes, and some of them
like Our Girls, published by the Harpers,
have had an enormous circulation,

II believe in the ounce of prevention,
rather than in ton of cure"
But have you noticed the remarkable
testimonials of Warmers remedy"
~ have, and confess that they have puz.
zled and astonished me. The commenda.
tons of proprietary medicines usually come
from unknown persons residing in back
counties. But i see in our most reputable
newspapers the warmest praise Of Warmers
Safe cure from college professors, respect
able physicians and other persons OF high
intelligence and character. To thrust such
testimony aside may be professional, but II
is unmanly. No physician can forget that
valuable additions to our Materia Medica
have sprung from Just such sources. / was
so impressed with this cloud of witnesses
that purchased some bottles of Warmers
Safe Cure at neighboring drug store, and
analysed one of them to see ii il contained
ANYTHING poisonous. Then / took three of
the prescribed doses at once, and found
there was nothing injurious in il. ! do not
hesitate to say that II | found my kidneys
in serious trouble should use this remedy,
because OF the hopelessness OF all ordinary
treatment, and because when q hundred in
