Old Mother Nature, M. D.

After careful study the New York
health department announces that
the most efficient remedy in cases of
spotted fever" is fresh air. 1t is
curious to note the slow, steady
progress of the medical profession
toward reluctant belief in natural
remedies. There is some ground for
hope that our doctors may some
day approach the system of the Chi
ncse practitioners. In China, as you
may recall, the doctor is paid as long
as his client is well. When the eli
ent becomes patient the pay Is
stopped and is not resumed until he
is well again.
Doctors ought to be prcventcrs,
not curers; advocates of fresh air
and simple diet and regular sleep
and exercise. not of drugs and mean
tations.-Saturday Evening Post.
