start. A fourth suggested that if she
would drive right on, sparks or no
sparks, the difficulty would remed- it.

the whole outfit would collapse. These
conflicting counsels increased the con-
fusion of the distressed lady, but they
did not make the wheel go round.
Just then a carriage drove up, a gen
tleman got outand asked what was the
matter. One OF the bystanders said it
was a breakdown, while each of eleven
others gave a different explanation as
to why the wheel wouldn't go round.
The stranger examined the tornout,
led the pony forward a step, and as the
sparks began flying, remarked: Mad

wheel are all right, The sparks that
the tire draws from the curbstones are
merely outward symptoms of the in
ward ailment. The real difficulty is
not with the tire of the wheel, but with
its axle, or it's box" Justwhat the man
did next it is not necessary to state,
but in less than ten minutes the entire
trouble was ended. He had removed
the cause instead of temporizing with
the effect. AS the lady drove on re-
joicing someone remarked: elbow few
people in the world reason down to the
root Of things, and at the same time
carry in their heads the know how
that makes the wheels go round"
1t is just this lack Of reasoning down
TO the root Of things hat is to-day caus-
ing intense suffering to thousands of
men and women; and for this suffering,
to a great extent, man is to blame.
Refined, intelligent, educated men,
who have spent eight or ten of the best
years of their lives in colleges, medical
schools and hospitals, cling to the false,
child-liie theory of doctoring the tire
as it were. instead of curing the axle, or
its sshot-bos.a They direct their at
tention to where they see the sparks
flying, instead of working upon the
hidden spot where the reut trouble lies.
The consequence is, they acquire
the know how which enables them
to regulate the wheels of life.
When the sparks of pain fairly fly
from a woman's head, her back. her
limbs, or the most important and SEN
sitive organs of her body, it is as sense
4ess to resort to local applications -
pain cures, or stimulanys, as it is to
grease the tire. whip the horse, or
drive on regardless of consequences.
Those people try to cure symptoms, in
stead of reasoning to the GOT of
things and removing the dus of the
disorder. The result is physical patch
work and failure instead of success.
A most conspicuous exception to this
rule is the man who, nearly thirty
years ago, proclaimed that he would
not make such mistakes, but would
devote himself to reasoning to the
root of disease, and to the discovery Of
a new principle for its treatment.
