have read deal of sarcasm in my day
but never read anything equal 10 the sar-
casm contained in the above four chaptered
book, written by some anonymous. l sus-

one; the author intimates as much on page
81. Let me give you a synopsis:
malaria as it states, is the cloak with
which superficial physicians cover up

understand, and do not much care 20 in
yestigate. 1t is also cover for such dis
eases as they can not cure. When they adj
wise their patient to travel or that he has
overwOrked and needs rest and is probably
suffering from malaria, it is a confession Of
ignorance or of inability
"The patient goes abroad. The change is
a tonic and for u time he feels better. Comes
home Tickle appetite, frequent headaches,
severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, irrIta-
bility, tired feelings, and general unfitness
for business are succeeded in due time by
alarming attacks of rheumatism which fits
about his body regardless of all human
feelings
:" 1t is museular-in his back. Articular
lin his joints. Inhammatory, my how he
fears it will fy 10 his heart!

wrong; becomes suspicious; musters up
courage and demands TO know what is kill

for my nephew was recently cured when
his physicians said recovery was impossible.
The case seems TO me 10 be a wonderful
one" This gentleman formerly repre-
scented his government in a foreign country.
He knows, appreciates and declares the
value of that preparation, because his
nephew, who is son of Danish Vice-Consul
Schmidt, was pronounced incurable when

can not close my notice better than BY
quoting the authors advice:
If, my friend, you have such an expert
ence as | have portrayed, do not put your
trust in physicians to the exclusion of 9th
er remedial agencies. They have no monop-
oily over disease and personally know that
many of them would far prefer that their
patients should go to Heaven direct from
their powerless hands than that they should
be saved TO earth by the use of any sun
authorized means"
