Natural conditions which should be IN =.
cident to the life of human beings, con-
ducive to long and healthiul life, are:.

"OUIDA" ON ANTI-TOXIN.
"what is called the new cure for diph-
tn SRA may be rather termed the new dam
ger for the hapless children in hospitals
on whom, in the present day, all expert
ments, however peculiar, may be lawfully
practiced. The mum Der of death, which
have taken place under it seems to me
very high. whilst the sacrifice of animals
involved Is disgusting. The inventors of
the serum system state tina after the in

one OF the most terrible. but also the
shortest, of diseases. The false men,
brane or cryptogram was forcibly remov-
ed from my throat, and believe this to
be the only real cure. The public seems
extraordinarily credulous and equally
apathetic before these serum injections
with which the human race is now
threatened. Medicine is being totally dis
regarded as science, means If cure,
whilst these new, filthy, cruel and per-
ilous methods occupy all the attention
and intelligence of that which is still
called the medical profession. 1t is to
me incomprehensibe that whole nations
allow themselves 10 be duped in this
fashion. The inventors OF this serum
system arc permitted to practise as they
please in the hospitals on the poor chill
dren who have no means to resist. and
are regarded merely as the corpore viii
on which the expermenter can try at
will his immature practices or fantastic
theories. 1t would be better that every
| hospital in the world should be closed,
and the sick and suffering left to nature
alone, than that these institutions should
be handed over as they are now, to the
absolute will Of INSCRIPTIONS and ire
sponsible experimenters.

Love the coed first Of all; for if you al
low yourself to begin with hating the
evil, you will get so absorbed in it. that
you III never tinu leisure for anything
else; therefore, begin with loving the

THE ART OF BREATHING.
1t is perhaps one of the signs of the

study in way hardly to be touched upon

cases of insomnia py long -drawn regular

sumption may be overcome, as some au-
thority has within the last few years
clearly demonstrated. by exercise in
breathing. Seasickness, too, may be sur
