THE ExrREME OF FOLLY.

The most foolhardy man who ever
risked his life, or the most infatuated
gambler who ever -risked his fortune, is
a sage compared with the man who
attempts to get the best of Nature.
The foolhardy man may succeed. The
gambler may win But the man who
takes chances with Nature is bound to
lose. IF the obituaries of tens of thou
sands who are cut down annually in
lifes prime were truly written death
would not be attributed to this or that
form of disease, but to an attempt to
evade the necessary laws of health.
The weak spot in the modern man is
his stomach. 1t is in disease of the
stomach that many Of the naladies
begin which carry off the busy men of
the day. The seed of disease once
planted in the stomach grows and
spreads like some climbing parasite
about a tree. 1t throws out tendril
about the heart and presently another
which grips the lungs, and others again
which take hold of kidneys and liver.
Then suddenly the man is srnitten by
heart disease or lung disease; or sue
curnbs to some malady of kidneys or
liver. The real seat of disease is the
stomach. And one of the reasons why
the diseases of the other organs often
fail of a cure is that the treatment
ignores the stomach, and attempts to
treat directly the other organs, whose
diseases are only symptoms of disease
of the stomach and other organs OF
! digestion and nutrition
