From the earliest dawn Of civilization
ignorance of the laws Of nature have led
to belief in the supernatural and the mir
aculous. The earliest traditions. and even
the written records. OF every race. TEEN
with miracles. most of them but out
growths Of occurrences lying within the
scope of natural laws now well under
stood. Belief in miracles and the suspen-
sion of the laws of nature Is not confined
to any race or any period of time. but IL
common to all time and 10 all peoples who
have not passed beyond II in the evolution
Of their mental development While even
today there is no race that can be said TO
have wholly passed from beneath the
shadow of superstition; some have almost
done so. while there are Others whose
mental development Is so primitive as to
be as vet without a single CLEAN of light.
Between these two extremes, in varying
stages. are to be found all the peoples Oh
the earth. Modern science. by Its expert
ments. its researches, its close reasoning
from cause 10 effect and from effecf back
TO cause. has been the chief. almost the
only. agent in iispclling the clouds OF SUI
perstition and bringing man out from the
gloom and shadow Of belief In the ntracu-
lous: and the exemption Of the human rae
In this respect Is almost co-extensise WIZ
acceptance of Its teachings. In THIS WORK
of STUDYING the laws Of nature and apply
inc them 10 the use and benefit of mankind
science has succeeded in accomplishing
seats that excel the utmost fancies OF the
ancients. who never, In their widest I'M
aginines, dreamed that the time wouiu
come when men would whisper to eaeh
other over thousands of miles OF wire' that
boats would navigate beneath the suriave
of the sea, that human speech ana music
,vo,,d he preserved in wax and be made
audible to the ear years after the voices
that gave the utteranee were stiiied IN
death, or that the happenings OF the oay
would be known TO the people OF every
land before the going down or the sun.
They never dreamed OF those wonderful
discoveries of the laws OF nature. oy
which the multitude OF diseases that nave
DESTROYED hundreds of millions OF the
human race have been defined. their or
igin traced. their method OF propagation
understood, and the means by which man
may be protected from their ravages mane
known Wonderful indeed are the
achievements of medical science. wheh
pestilences are stamped out. wnen me

skin of one person is made to grow upon
the outvering flesh of another. when dis

when catarrh, that dread scourge OF the
human race, Is cured and its deadly pol

and ages mankind suffered and died from
chronic diseases, and II was not until the
closing years Of the nineteenth century
that even the most advanced medical sci
ence could offer them hope OK
relief. But now relief has come.
Medical science has taken an
other rraat step forward. Enlightened
physicians hail with joy this wonderful
