The Mind as a Disease Producer.

tDr. Herbert A. Coryn in National Review
 i've know that a congested liver produces gloom, perhaps leading to suicide; another kind of gloom is perhaps due to a congested spleen; a disorderly heart produces apprehen- sion of coming danger; certain intes- tinal conditions produce fear; morbid conditions of other organs mar the sense of strength and manhood and womanliness. We know also a few converse truths: That gloom or de. spair may induce jaundice; that good news will make the heart beat vlgor- ously; that cheerfulness will calm and regulate it's beat; that fear and anxiety may paralize digestion.
 We know also beyond any doubt that Beecham's Pills, the established and staple liver regulator the world over, will so reorganize the working system of the human body that con- gested, morbid or disordered condi- tions in men and women are abso- lutely and entirely removed, and with the ensuing good health come bright eyes and Il happy heart Beecham's Pills are for sale the world ov9r at a quarter box, although on their merits they are known pro ,! verbally to be worth guinea 3 box"
