roundlngs, and enjoy maximum OF COM
fort. "They have q good many lessons
vet 10 teach us IN respect 10 living
and practical health.n After an cxper-
fence of over twenty years with them, he
says that .they are subject 10 fewer dis
eases. their diseases are more amcnable
TO treatment, and they possess greater
freedom from acute and infiammatory

can be said 10 exist at ALL than obtains
among Western nations.
