What the world needs to-day is not
more medicine, but less of it. Not new
methods of shutting out sunlight and the
only true elixir of life, but more pure air
ITO breathe, pure water to drink, pure
food to eat, less overwork and overworry,
more rational methods of labor with many
toilers with brain and hand, more whole
some exercise and calmer, more cheer
dul frame of mind. Tens of thousands
die before their time through consuming
fear Of unseen and purely imaginary foes,
and other tens of thousands through false
teaching, the influence of false ideas, and,
IN consequence, of scnseless violation of
natures plainest laws. Instead of losing
our grip on life, we of this generation
ought to be getting firmer hold. Our
boastful modern ways are pitifully weak
hnd unreliable, asserts the Philadelphia
Telegraph 1t will take hundred Kochs
