Has to Say Upon a Subject That Aston
ished Him.
New York Times.l
Nearly forty years ago young man OF un-
usual endowments began TO mould public
opinion upon a subject of vital importance
Like all pioneers, his early efforts were un-
successful, but his ability and the value of
his work soon won public confidence, and
to-day there is not village or hamlet in the
country that has not been influenced by Dr.
Dio Lewis. When, therefore. it was learned
yesterday that he contemplated the estsb-
lishment of a large magazine in this city the
fact was deemed so important that q repre-
sentative of this paper was commissioned 10
see him and ascertain the truth of the
rumor.
DR.. Dio Lewis is gentleman of sixty years
and 200 pounds, with snow white hair aud
beard, but probably the most perfect picture
of health and vigor in the metropolis. He is
q living exponent OF his teachings, and no.
withstanding the amount of work he has al
ready done, promises still greater activity for
years to come. He received the interviewer
most cOurteously, and in reply to question
said:
1T is true have come to New York to es-
tablish a monthly magazine. l have come
here for the same reason that went to Bos-
ton twenty five years ago. Then Boston was
the best platform in the country 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.

ing interest of the American people in this
subject. they have come TO realize the
future of our country piyots upon our physi-
cal 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. | hope
through its pages to inaugurate new de-
parture in hygiene"
Have you not written several books on the
subjectF'
Yes. nine volumes, and some OF them
like Our Girls published by the Harpers
have had an enormous circulation, but the
best work of my life shall give the world
in the new magazine. Forty years of skirm-
ishing ought to conclude with ten years of
organized warfare"
Doctor what is the occasion of this new
interest in health questions"
ut 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"
Which of these organs is most frequently
the victim of our errors?' asked the re-
porter.

kidneys have greatly multiplied. When |

But have you noticed the remarkable
/ testimonials of Warmers remedy"
Il have, and confess that they have puz-

and character. To thrust such testimony
aside may be professional, but il is uumanly.

with this cloud OF witnesses that purchased
some bottles of Warmers Safe Care ut a

doses at once, and found there was nothing
injurious in it. l do not hesitate to say that

cause when hundred intelligent and re-
putable persons unite in the statement that
Q certain remedy has cured them OF grave
maledy. L choose to believe that they speak
the truth"
"But, as you may know, my grea. interest
in life lies in prevention. For forty years
have IaboIed in this field. One of the phases
of my work in New England was the estab-
lishment of the Ladies' Seminary at Lsxing-
ton, Mass. Ny aim was 10 illustrate the
possibilities in the physical training of girls
during their school life. This Institution

The iacte ab0ve.narTated are indeed mos
