secretary OF the society. and keeNr Of its
archives was educated in Richmond COL
lege, and the Southern Baptist Theo-

ing, and yet richer stores of historical

PHYSlC WITH YOUR PIE,
The Food Cure . New Wrinkle Among
Doctors in England.


The flood cure" is comparative
new idea, introduced into England by
several physicians of advanced ideas,
who boldly advanced the proposition
| that they can cure ordinary human ills
| by dieting and without the use of medi-
cines, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press. They claim that certain foods
| contain all the elements necessary to
! effect cures; that they have made up
| list which embraces tonics, febrifuges,
ciuretics, and, in fact, every medicinal
agent that is defined in the pharmaco-
! peia. These foods are of the simplest
character, but the English doctors do
! not disclose them. except to their pa
tients. They say that in the course of
ten years there will not be one-third
the medicine used that is used to-day,
and they point out the fact that the
sale of quinine and all antipyretics has
decreased in the last five years to re-
narkable degree.
There is a good deal of common sense
in the idea" said physician who had
heard of the new departure, ''and it
may take if doctors generally will go
into it, but 1 fear patients will not.
Why? Well, you might convince a
man that he was getting sufficient iron
for his system when he was eat
ing beef, or that if he needed starch he
could get it from bread instead of from
pills, but you couldn't do that with
woman. They do not reason that way;
j am speaking especially of patients
slightly hypochondriacal when l say
they would reject such treatment inn
mediately; but, as general thing, you
can apply the rule to all womankind
advice as TO exercise or diet is gen
orally lost. The average woman wants
10 take medicine, and if it is very disa-
greeable she imagines it is very effica-
cious- She gradually gets mania for
pills and potions, and takes delight in
dosing everybody who will submit
Now, If doctor can readily
help her condition by giving her
bread pills with hypnotic sug-
gestion, l think it is his duty
to do so, and collect his fee. He might
as well whistle down the north wind as
to make woman believe that exercise
and diet are better than medicine II
he is overly corScientious and abandons
the case another fellow comes along |
and gets it, SO the natural temptation |
is to cater to patients whims"
