Nearly forty years ago young mar, of IN
usual endowments, began TO mold public
opinion upon subject OF vital Importance.
Like all pioneers, his early efforts were IN.
successful, but bis ability and the value of
his work soon wen public confidence. and to-
day there is not village or hamlet in the
country that has not been Influenced by DR..
Dio Lewis WheD, therefore, it was learned
| yesterday that he contemplated the establith-
ment of large magazine in this city, the
fact was dsemed SO important thai repre-
| sentative of this paper was commissioned TO
ase him and ascertain the truth of the rumor.
DIR. Die Lewis is 8 gentleman of sixty years
and two hundred pounds, with snow-white
hair and beard, but probably the most per-
feet picture of health and yigor 10 the me-
tropolis. lie is q 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 courseOusly, and
in reply to q question said:
" 1t is true l have come to New York to

most hospitable to progressive thoughts, and
especially so TO movements on behalf Of phys.
ical training
q have reason to know the great and ahid-
| ing interest of the American people in this
subject. They have come to realize that the
future of our country pivots upon our physi-
cal vitality, and especially upon the vigor of
our women. My new magszine will bear the
title Dio Lewis Monthly and be devoted
TO Sanitary aud Social Science. hope
through its pages to inaugurate new depart

"But have you noticed the remarkable tes-
timonials of Warmers remedy"
81 have, and confess that they puzzled
and astonished me. The commentators of
proprietary medicines usually come from IN
known persons residing in back counties. But
[ see in our most reputable newspapers the
warnest praise of Warmers Safe Cure from
College Professors, respectable physicians,
and other persons Of high intelligence and
character. To thrust such testimony aside
may be PROFESSIONAL but it is uBmsHly. No

" BuE as you may know, my great interest
10 life lies in prevention. Fer forty years
have labored in this field. One CT the phases
of my work in New England vas the estab
lishment of the Ladies Seminary at Licking
ton, Mass My aim was to illustrate the pos
sibiiities il the physical training of girls dur
ing their school life. The institution became,
before 1 left it. the largest and most success

sat down TO dinner every day with q family
of two hundred persons. The remarkable re-
suits Of this muscle-training among girls
were given in my paper published in the
| North american RerieaU of December, 1882
Besides, l established the Normal Insti-
tute for Physical Training in Boston. and for
ten years was its President and Manager
Dr. Walter Charming, DR.. Thomas Hoskiue,
! Professor Leonard, and others were among
| it's teachers, and more than four hundred per-
sons took its diploma and went out into all
parts of the land to teach the new school of
gymnastics And now the years left to me I
propose to devote to the magazine which
have come here to establish. It will be tie
| largest periodical ever devoted to this field of
literature, and will present the hundred and
one questions of hygiene with the simplicity
of child's talk. To this end all so called
learning will be subordinsted. The magazine
will be more or less illustrated, and will strive
to reach high placs 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 most
important. It is gratifying to know that the
lifelong experience of gentleman who
stands without pser in successfully demon
strating the principles of hygiene; whose
heart has always been in sympathy with the
afflicted, and whose brain has ever been &C.
tive in planning for their relief. are to be
given to the public through the pages of 8

proof positive Of rare merit that proprie.
