HYGIENIO RULES.


Many books have been wrlttea. And
much more has been said about whs.
sick person should cat IN order 10 nour
ish the body and not interfere with the
action OF the medicines prescribed bv
the physician; but every one knows the
following articles are not good TO eat.
namely; Opium. Morphine, Belladona
Atropia or Deadly Nlghtshade. Cocaine,
Choral, Calomel, Digitalis, Foxgloye
Arsenic and its Preparations. Pho.

phites, Hypo-Phosphites. Nux yomica
and itsactive principle. strychnine. Iiy.
oscyamus Niger, Black Henban o.eu,n
Tigiii, Croton OIL, etc.
How unfortunate the physician who
knows no other remedies @ tnan the
above poisons, and how much more un-
fortunate the Dear People who think
they are obliged to take the dose. The
above poisons produce nervous prostra-
ton, death by heart failure and IN
tlammatIon OF the bowels, also cause
most OF the snlcides and all the ifsan-
sanity. They cure nothing, only pre-
vent people from recovering Their
health.
DIR. :. Clay Todd, the famous spec,ai-
ist of 10 North Division street, Grand
Rapids, Mich. does not use the above
poisons, but by the use of his new. pless-
ant and health giving remedies, he
cures all curabie dlseases At the earliest
possible minute.
