NEW TREATMENT.

ANEW TREATMENT.
The Body Polite was beginning to
lose the ROBUST health and vigor of
its youth. A direful malady of stealth
and stIpor had set It's blight upon
this once promising offspring Of free
dom and equality. Ugly Cancers
now marred the once beautiful form,
and certain portions of the body, at
one time so strong and vigorous, were
now paralyzed and impoverished.
The disease, sure and sickening as it
was slow ald stealthy, must needs
be diagnosed ard remedies suited to
necessity applied. DIR. Republican,
that once eminent ply sican, though
now grown fat and obese from luxu-
rious living, took charge of the case.
and with a satisfied air anticipatory
of good fat fee, at once began his
treatment. "Too much open air."
he said; "the patient should be bet
ter housed and the doors kept closer
shut. ! prescribe protection as the
remedy, to be applied externally, in
large and unstinted quantity; and
this together with frequent bleeding
will soon set the patient on his feet
again. These directions being care
fully followed, strange to say. only
aggravated the ease an hundred fold
and more; and it became necessary
to call in another physician. DR..
Democrat, another eminent authori-
ty of his time, diagnosed the case,
shook his head, looked wise, and de-
clared the former treatment to be all
wrong. "The patient is sitting
said he; "the doors must be thrown
wide open. Free trade in broken
doses once every four years is the
remedy needful; and my word for it,
your old health and vlgor will re-
turn" The good doctor fixed the dose
himself, but like his predecessor, he
failed to check the insidious growth
OF the blighting disease. And so it
still continues, gathering even more
rapid progress.
But is the case to be considered
hopeless oneg No, ;or there is lately
arisen another physician, younger in
years than the others, but with a
clearness and persptcuity of mind
which enables him to trace from eff
feet to cause. He too has diagnosed
the case and is waiting to apply his
remedy. 1.-THE Body Politic," says
he, needs internal remedies. Blood,
the circulating medium of the BODY.
must be kept free from congestion.
The great transportation system of
the body must act in uniform meas
ure for the good Of the whole body,
and not in the interest of a leg or an
arm or another portion Of the bodv
to the impoverishment of other por-
tons. Every separate and individu-
al part of the body must be made to
perform its separate function without
being permitted to strengthen itself
at the expense of another portion.
The remedy / would apply would be
for the purpose of purifying the
blood, which can only be done, in
the case of the Body Polite, by re-
forming the monetary system, mon
ey itself being the circulating medi-
UNI. 10 more effectually do this, the
transportation facilities of the body
should be controlled in the interest
OF the whole, as also should the other
vital functions necessary to the well
fare of the whole be regulated and
controlled. Public ownership of
public utilities will do this. These
remedies applied and the cancerous
outgrowth of the present impure con-
ditiop, known as trusts, would disap-
pear. Then it will be necessary to
feed the patient upon a diet of equal
ity, an income tax being one of the
most nutritious varieties. Direct Leg
islstion will also guarantee a contin-
ued healthy condition and q proper
exercise of strength for the different
limbs of government. Such are the
remedies, among many others, of this
new physician, The Peoples Party. |
