hands, the money to be used in estab-
fishing a sanitarium in the Red Woods

the alleged communication upon the
womans mind that she consented to
use the money as she seemed to be
directed. but in doing so she made one
step which blocked the alleged swim

DRUG MADE HEALTH
Is Only Borrowed Observation-Disclosures.

Drugs cannot directly cure disease.
They simply quicken action, but do not
add one single atom of strength or
vigor to the body. Some drugs stimu-
late certain organs, other drugs other
organs, but in all cases when one organ
is SO stimulated the other organs must
suffer, because the nervous energy is
borrowed from them. This borrowed
vigor must be paid back with COM
pound interest, otherwise the organs
from which borrowed will not have
enough for their own use, and, like the
business man with large accumula-
ton of bad debts, will become embaG-
raised and fail. Nature does not permit
dead beats in dts departments When
settling time comes all must pay their
debts, and, If helplessly and hopelessly
involved, the grim sheriff takes charge.
All physical and mental energy,
vigor, strength and endurance emanate
from the nerves. The rest of the body
is but an inert mass and is APPLY
termed CLAY" Without the nerves
there would be no life, action or
thought.
Good doctors consider it more scien-
tific in curing disease to supply new
energy than to exhaust the limited sup
