His Past Life, Present Plans. and What !
He Has TO say Upon Subject that As
tonished Him.
Near York Tines.
Nearly forty years ago young man, OF
unusual endowments, began to mould
public opinion upon a subject Of vital inn
portance. Like all pioneers, his early eff
forts were unsuccessful, but his ability
and the value of his work soon won pub
lie confidence, and to-day there is not a
village or hamlet in the country that has
not been influenced by DR.. Dio Lewis.
When, therefore, it was learned yester-
day that he contemplated the establish
ment of large magazine in this city. the
fact was deemed so important that rep
resentauve of this paper was commits
stoned TO see him and ascertain the truth
of the rumOr.
DR.. Dlo Lewis is a gentleman of so years
and 200 pounds, with snow white hair and
beard, but probably the most perfect pic
ture 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 stlll greater
activity for years TO come. be received

"Have you not written several BOOKS
on the subjects.
Eyes. nine volumes. and some of them
like sour Girls published by the Har-
pers, have had an enormous circulation,
but the best work of my life l shall give
the world in the new magazine. Forty
years of skirmishing ought to conclude
with ten years of organized warfare"
s'Doctor. what is the occasion of this
new interest in health questionsT
.'It 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
people give attention to their health"

the reporter.
"Within the last few years diseases of
the kidneys have greatly multiplied.

doctor, have you any confidence in
nowadays, Warmers Safe CureP "
Il believe in the ounce of prevention,
rather than in ton of cure"
But have you noticed the remarkable
testimonials of Warmers remedy?'
Il have. and confess they have puzzled
and astOnished me. The concentrations
of proprietary medicines usually come
from unknown persons residing IN back
counties. But | see in our most reputa-
BILE newspapers the warmest praise of
Warmers Safe Cure from college profess
sors, respectable physicians and other
persons of high intelligence and charac-
ter. To thrust such testimony aside may
be professional. but il is unmanly. No
physician can forget that valuable adj
ditiOns to our udteriG Hedicd have sprung
from just such sources. l was so i'm
pressed with this cloud of witnesses
that | purchased some bottles of Warn
er's Safe Cure at a neighboring drug
store, and analysed one of them to see if
it contained anything poisonous. Then l
took three of the prescribed doses at once,
and found there was nothing injurious in
it, do not hesitate to say that if l found
my kidneys in serious trouble, should
use this remedy, because Of the hopeless
ness of all ordinary treatment, and be-
cause when a hundred intelligent and
reputable persons unite in the statement
that a certain remedy has cured them OF
grave malady, l choose to believe that
they speak the truth"
'sBut as you may know, my great inter-
est in life lies in prevention. For forty
years l have labored in this field. One of
the phases of my work in New England
was the establishment of the Ladies'
Seminary at Lexington. Mass. Ny aim
was to illustrate the possibilities in the
physical training of girls during their
school life. This institution became be-

and managed by one person, in our

"Besides. established the Normal In
stitute for Physical Training in Boston.
and for ten years was its President and
Manager. DR.. Walter Charming, DR..
Thomas Hoskins. Professor Leonard, and
others were among its teachers, and more
than four hundred persons took its diplo-
ma and went out into all parts of the land
to teach the new school of gymnastics.
And now the years left to me / propose to
devote to the magazine which have come
here to establish. 1t will be the largest
periodical ever devoted to this field of lit
erature and will present the hundred and
one questions of hygiene with the simpli-
city of a child's talk. To this end all So
| called learning will be subordinated. The
magazine will be more or less illustrated,
and will strive to reach a high place in
the confidence and hearts of the people.
In few weeks, our first number will APP

hearty welcome"
The facts above narrated are indeed
most important. 1t is gratifying to know
that the life long experiences of a gentle
man who stands without a peer in sue
cessfully 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, are to be given to the public
through the pages of magazine. And it
is specially significant and proof positive
of rare merit that proprietary medicine,
even with such high standing as Warmers
Safe Cure is known to have, should be in
dorsed and recommended by a man so
able, so reputable and Of such national
