| New York Times.I
| Nearly forty years ago Il Young man, cf I'M
usual endowments, began to mould public

| Like aH pioneers, his carly efforts were NM
work soon won public confidence, and to-day
there is not village or hamlet in the county
| that las not been influenced by DR.. Dio Lewis.
| When, therefore. il vas learned yesterday that
he contemplated the establishment OF large
magazine III this city, the fact was deemed sb
| important that representative Of this paper
was commissioned TO see him and ascertain the
| truth of the ruu!or.
| DIR. Dio Lewis Is n gentleman of sixty years
and two hundred pounds, with snow-white hair
and beord, but probably the most perfect pic
ture OF health and yigor in the metropolis. He
is living exponent Of his teachings, and not
withstandins the amount of work he has al
ready done, promises still greater activity for
years to come. He received interviewer most
courteously, and n reply TO question said;

mere Tor the samerea that went to Boston

FORM in the country from which to speak Of

hospitable to progressive thoughts, and cs-
Pecially so to movements on behalf of physical

future of our country pivots upon otir phys

our women. My new magazine VIII bear the
title 'Dio Lewis Monthly and be devoted to
| Sanitary and Social Science: l hope through
its pages to inaugurate new departure in
hygiene"
"Haye you not written several books on the
subject2"
"Yes, nino volumes. aud some Of them like
Our Girls. published by the Harpers. have
had an enormous circulation, but the best

.It has come through suffering, which seems
the only road to sell knowledge. The stomach,
heart, kidneys or liver fall into trouble, happi-

engaged in practice, thirty -fye aud forty years

| ''Doctor, have you any confidence in the

not hesitate TO say that II found my kidneys
IN serious trouble, should use this remedy, BE-
cause OF the hopelessness OF al ordinary treat
ment, and because when hundred intelligent
and reputable persons unite in the statement
that Il certain remedy has cured them of n
grave malady, choose TO believe that they
speak the TRUTH
=" But as you may know, my great interestin
life lies i'll prevention. For forty years have
labored in this field. Ono of the phases of
my work in New England was the establish
mcnt OF the Ladies seminary at Lexington,
Mass My aim was to illustrate the possibii-
ties in the physical training of girls during
their scho life. This institution became be-
foic left ii. the largest and most successful
Seminary for young women owned and man
aged by one person, in our country. l sat
