frogs, mudfsh or muscles. The stomach
can and does digest all such matter in
the good old way. Let US test the truth
Of my plain words so that all US common,
plain Americans and naturalized foreign
ers will understand 1t. Anything that il
injurious TO the human organism will
always produce an unpleasant sensation
II held in. the mouth. The mouth Is
,NatuFe's true faster and nothing should
ever be swallowed by old or young that
the mouth and tongue does not approve
Of. Now, take a cup q ditch water con-
tanning several typhoid germs, more or
less animacule and few wiggle-tails and
see Il the mouth objects. Not at all. II
dark you will not know but what II Is
well water, or take the deadly well water
that irightens 50 many people and zee II
1t burns the mouth or tastes bitter, or
sour, or strong, or in any way destroys
tissue. Alcohol and q hundred drugs
might name will burn and scorch and
shriyel the membrane and tissue Of the
body, wherever Il touches It; yet many
will swallow these when sick and some
Of them when well with impunity, while
they are frightened at piece Of grass or
a wiggler that has no power TO harm an
infant. Boiling water or altering Il to
get rid Of imaginary impurities Is another
Imposition palmed of on an unsuspecting
public, that needs ventilatine. II 1t is
because ii contains alkali, know, oh, de-
luded mortal, that alkali is not removed
by boiling; also know that only trace
Of alkall is found in our water and that
the~hufnan system contains alkali. So
do not be frightened. II you boil to kill
some animal life that the wise man told
you was surely there, remember that soon |
after boiled water cools 1t resumes It's
former conditions. In fltering water,
some q II Is absorbed by the coal or
other substances used rs q filter and
zone passes through, That which 10
ibSorbed in the filter Substance and that !
which passes through are exactly alike.
The time and anxiety THAT has been |
'pent and endured. over theso imaginary
lemons is almost, beyond belief. Once
he doctnrs would not let their patients
rink water. Now they don't want we'll
people to. But once upon . time . sick
man who had been prohibited from
thinking Il during fever became deliri-
Rus and got out of, bed and drank q pail
Iull and got well in spite Of the doctor
md his drugs. So then the doctor said,
lin fever water Is very good.s So after
he people-just common, plain looking
people without diplomas or any frills or
Extra good lOOks-all tell the doctors and
elbows with the microscope and the
Itethescope and thermometer and things,
hat It Is not catching; that disiniectant
, q fraud; that ditch water IL harmless;
hat well water Is good and healthy, they,
he doctors. viii then declare they knew
all the time.
Now that man has usurped the land
md staked It on into lots, the only things
hat we might enjoy without money Is
Iir and water and one we shut out with
loors; the other we refuse to drink be-
;ause Of ignorance. II some one would
orm an air and water trust and charge
100 per square yard for air and 800
per gallon for water some people would
use enough TO keep healthy.
But the HFRJD L nOta medical jour
lal and you are tired BY this time or l
would tell you something about the cause
Il typhoid, fever, but Of course II would
