Nearly forty years ago young man, OF
unusual endowments, began to mold pub
lie opinion upon a subject of vital impor-
lance. Like all pioneers, his early efforts
were unsuccessful, but his ability and the
value of his work soon won public conf
dence, and to-day there is not village or
hamlet in the country that has not been in
fuenced by Dr.. Dio Lewis. When, there
fore, it was learned yesterday that he con-
templated the establishment of a large
magazine in this city, the fact was deemed
SO important that representative of this
paper was commissioned to see him and as
certain the truth of the rumor.
DIR. Dio. Lewis Ia a gentleman of sixty
years and two hundred pounds, with snow
white hair and beard, butprobably the most
perfect picture of health and vigor in the
metropolis. He Is living exponent of his
teachings, and Notwithstanding the amount
of work he has already done, promises still
greater activity for years to come. He re-
ceived the interviewer most courteously,
and in reply to a question said:
I" 1t is true have come to New York to
establish monthly magazine. i have
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.
BILE to progressive thoughts, and especially
SO to movements on behalf of physical
training. r'l }i tfE
+" 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 maya
zine will bear the title sDio Lewis's
Monthly and be devoted to Sanitary and

doctor, what is the occasion Of this now
interest in health quesionsW
1T has come through suffering, which
seems the only road to self knowledge. The
stomach, heart, kidneys or liver fall into
trouble, happiness Is gone, and then peo-
pie give attention to their health.o

porter.

doctor, have you any confidence in the
remedy of which we hear so much now-a-
days, Warmers Safe Curep" Htftrf
81 believe in the ounce Of prevention,
rather than in ton of cure" aH
But have you noticed the remarkable
testimonials Of Warmers remedyW
81 have, and confess that they have puz.
zled and astonished me. The commenda-
tions of proprietary medicines usually
come from unknown persons residing In
back counties. But l see in our most repu.
table newspapers the warmcst praise OF
Warper's Safe Cure from College Profess
ors, respectable physicians, and other per-
sons of high intelligence and character.
TO thrust such testimony aside may be
professional, but 1t is unmanly. No ply
stefan can forget that valuable additions to
our MdteTtG Medicd 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 it contained anything pol
sonous. Then / took three of the prescribed
doses at once, and found there was nothing
injurious in it. do not hesitate to say
that if | found my kidneys in serious
trouble, should use this remedy, because
of the hopelessness of all ordinary treat
ment, and because when hundred intelli.
gent and reputable persons unite in the
statement that a certain remedy has cured
them of grave malady, choose to be-
lieve that they speak the truth.
" But as you may know, my great inter-
est in life lies in prevention. For forty
years have labored in this field. One OF
| the phases of my work in New England
was the establishment of the Ladies' Sem
mary at Lexington, Mass. My aim was to
| illustrate the possibilities In the physical
| training of girls during their school life.
| This institution became, before left 1t, the
| largest and most successful Seminary for
| young women, owned and managed by one
| person, in our country. l sat down to din
ner every day with a family of two hum
dred persons. The remarkable results of
| this muscle training among girls were
| given in my paper published in the North
| american Reuie,o Of December, 1882.
Besides, | established the Normal Insti-
tute for Physical Training in Boston, and
| for ten years was its President and Man
ager. DR.. Walter Charming, DR.. Thomas
| Hoskins, Prof. Leonard and others were
among its teachers, and more than four
hundred persons took it's diploma and went
out into all parts of the land to teach the
new school of gymnastics. And now the
| years lett TO me l propose TO devote TO The
magazine which have come here to estab-
fish. 1t will be the largest periodical ever
devoted to this field of literature, and will
present the hundred and one questions Of
| hygiene with the simplicity of chld's
talk. To this end all so called learning will
be subordinated. The magazine will be
more or less illustrated, and viii strive to
reach high place in the confidence and
hearts of the people. In few weeks our
| first number will appear, and we shall
fondly hope for it hearty welcome."
| The facts above narrated are indeed moss
important. 1t is gratifying to know that
the life long experiences of a gentleman
| who stands without peer in successfully
| demonstrating the principles of hygiene
whose heart has always been in sympathy
with the afflicted, and whose brain has ever
been active in planning for their relief, ara
TO be given to the public through the pages
Of magazine. And it is specially signif-
cant and proof positive of rare merit that
proprietary medicine, even with such
| high standing as Warmers Safe Cure is
| known to have, should be Endorsed and re-
commended by man so able, so reputable
and of such national renown as DR.. Die
| Lewis.
