robust among us. The unhealthy man or
woman is in great measure incapable of
benefit to society. If, for instance, bilious
ness, trouble of frequence and often OBJ
stinately resistant of ordinary medication.
obstructs the harmonious action of the liver
and the bowels, the sufferer is sure to be dye
peptfc. The three disordered conditions are
sure to be confirmed by neglect. Under the
erroneous impression that there rs no hope
for him, an impression in all Likelihood con-
trmed by the use of Objectionable remedies,
the sufferer is apt to become neglectful. nay,
even reckless, and that the sooner he is re-
moved from the sphere of human endeavor
the better for all parties concerned. What a
series of mistakes! His liver is responsible
1t is an incorporate part of himself. How dis.
