Prompted by these broad, generous
impulses that have in time past
changed the history of the human
race, a work has been begun which it
is hoped will lead to results of more
than casual influence on humanity.
The genus homo is large, conservative.
and slowly modified, evolving to per-
lection by slow changes in each indi-
vi0ual, so that the efforts of one man
must be we'll directed and better sup
ported if anything is to be accom-
plished. He who essays to improve
the race of man. must first know the
individual man-no small study in it
self-and, above all things. he must
have the earnest, sympathetic sup
port OF the object of his attention. Be
he ever so persistent, without the lat
ter cooperation his efforts will prove
CT no avail. In times past there have
been many attempts of men to stamp
their personality on the development
OF their fellow-being, principally
through political or religious inf1u-
ences, but it is to modern times only
that we accredit an attempt to actual
!
man. To so change that body that it
will be adapted to it's environments
without the friction that is in almost
every man, more or less apparent, is
great work. Relieving the little and
great pains, the evidences of malad-
justment of the human anatomy to it's
surroundings, is one of the srandest
efforts that future history will record.
and to the Home Health Club will q
generous share of the work be credit
ed. "A correspondence course of edu-
cation teaching how to get well, and
how to keep WELL" is the simple man
ner in which the club states its rea-
sons for existence, but modesty seems
to be an attribute of all the benefac-
tors of the race. Actuated by philan-
thropic motives that make the vast
beneficiences of the great financiers
seem selfish, the founder of this or
ganization, which has now grown to
gigantic proportions, is devoting his
lie to correcting the bodily ills that
Gffilct his fellow-man. Endowed with
fine intellect and personality, he has
employed his talent we'll, acumulating
!
! respect and admiration To relieve
the ills Of suffering humanity and
avoid the errors that are responsible
for suffering is the great work OF
| which Dr. David H. Reeder, of La
Porte, Ind, has devoted his life If
YOU sympathize with him in his work,
end wish to aid in the great plan, you
| are invited to join the Home Health
! Club.
Something over 1000 people have
been sufficiently interested to become
active members, while more than
100000 of people are regularly
reached through correspondence, or
through the columns of newspapers
and periodicals. Thus large number
of people have had the benefit of the
philanthropic efforts of one whose
order that the work may be extended,
scientific knowledge of the cause OF
all ailments and the simplest and most
effective cures may be disseminated.
With this end in view, DR.. Reeder is
| constantly writing, and articles from
his pen appear regularly in various
publications-and the, methods taught
are of practical help to any sufferer
from disease, whether living in pow
erty or surrounded by all of the skill
of science, and the luxuries of the
| rich; simple, practical yet scientific
self-help is the foundation of his
teachings"
