Nearly forty years ago young mar, OF
unusual endowments, began to mould pub
lie opinions upon subject of vital import
ance. 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 a village or
hamlet In the country that has not been In
huenced by DIR. Dio Lewis. When, there

the vigor OF our women. My new magazine
