kingdom? It is impossible.

| Kingdom! IL is lIlpOSSlDle.
Suppose that a particular man and
particular woman are not up to the
standard of fitness prescribed by the
Legislators, how shall we deal with
them in order to prevent them from
carrying into execution their own in
clinations? The only way L can think
of is to exile them to different planets.
Laws cannot prevent it, because laws
are made to be violated, especially by
human nature as it is at present; jails,
on the other hand, cannot prevent it,
because "love laughs at lockSmtths."
There is yet another question, and a
most important one, namely: How will
physicians be able to make a sure
diagnosis of the fitness or unfitness of
a particular person? Are there many
instances on record that tend to prove
that physicians are fnfallible? In
other words, does the average "reputa-
BILE" physician diagnose disease in the
first instance? Not that anyone knows
of. On the contrary, two or more ply
sicians seldom agree and least of all
is physician infallible.
How many people have ever thought
why the average physician is so unfit
to deal with even the objective Zap
parent physical and mental ills of
mankind? There are doubtless some
who have never given the subject any
consideration whatever, hence we shall
undertake to explain the subject for
their benefit.
The fundamental branches of the So
called science of medicine are, anato-
my, physiology and chemistry, and
these branches must be mastered, more
or less, by all who are candidates for
the degree of NJ. D. The medical col
lege at which one attends provides dis
secting rooms and subjects" (corpses)
for the study of anatomy and labora-
tories for the study of physiology and
chemistry respectively. Every student
must dissect at least one lateral half
of the body and make various expert
ments in the laboratories. That Is all
a student is required to do and (When
he graduates) to know.
Remember, all that the physician
learned in the dissecting room was that
the human body is made up of bones,
muscles. ligaments, ETC., and their re-
spective given names, while in the
laboratories he learned of how many
chemical elements the body is COM
| posed and the action of the heart,
| blood vessels, ETC., in animals lower
| than man in the scale of evolution.
The fact however that there may be
something else, especially in the hui
man being-something the scalpel or
chemical agents do not disclose (soul p
lis never thought Of and not taught
at all.
We know, however, that every liv-
ing object, certainly man, is part Qts
size is immateriaD of the universe, and
every human being Is, as 1T were. a
counterpart of every other. Hence,
may not the greater part of the uni
verse, as we'll as the greater number
of mortals have, as it were, ruling
power over that single speck of mat
ter-human being? There can be no
doubt about it.
However, physicians, certainly the
majority of them, know nothing what
ever about that invisible (but very
much felt) something within the hu-
man body. Therefore they deal with
all mortals alike. And this in spite of
the fact that even boy in the lower
grades knows that no two individuals
are alike. There is no uniformity in
construction known to nature.
A lady wishes to know what she
shall do to stop her hair from falling
out. / could advise her on the sub
ject, but there is a slight doubt in my
mind whether she will follow instruc-
tions. The average individual would
rather have others attend to his or her
wants than to attend to them him OF
herself However, We will advise her,
and we hope she win be good enough TO
inform us II she followed the instruc-
tions. and especially the result OF her
effort.
