Noted Doctor viii Be at The
First Presbyterian Church
Friday Evening.
1T is FOR THE PUBLIC.
ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES
IN THE INTEREST OF PURE
FOOD AND BETTER SANITATION

DR. J. n. Mccormack, who is to de-
liver his address al a public meeting
of the Wayne County Medical society
Friday night at the First Presbyterian
church, has been for three years past
making speeches and doing campaign
work all over the United States in the
! interest of pure food and better sani-
tary regulations for the preservation
of the lives and health of the people.
AS an evidence of the effect which
his address has produced, is quoted
the following editorial from the Column
bus, O., Journal:
We are to have talk at the Board
of Trade next Saturday night on the
care of the body. The lecturer is DR..
J. n. Mccormack, who comes under
the auspices of the Columbus Academy
of Medicine. The idea which controls
this affair is that the physical condi-
ton of a man is a matter of public
Importance; that mans tendency as
a citizen and his views of duty are
largely affected by the condition of
his body OF course, there is the SYM
pathy for the individual that plays a
part, but it is not the ruling consid-
Grafton.
What a man puts into his mouth has
great deal to do with his ideas of
duty and his standard of moral worth.
1t is not a question of digestion mere
ly-a matter of headache, stomach dis
order, kidney trouble, etc. What
reaches and annoys these, reaches and
annoys the nerves, and the nerves are
the seat of the will-Dower, and the
will-power Is the throne of moral pur-
pose There is not much doubt if a
specialist could trace the decreptitudes
of society back to their origin, he
would find that bad tobacco. bad liz.
uor, bad medicine, bad pastry and
bad stuffs of all sorts that he put into
his mouth were intimately related to
them.
1t is said there are certain kinds OF
tobacco, certain kinds of medicine
and some foods, too, possibly the i'm
pure kind, that get right down under
the moral sense, through the nerve
avenues, and push it out of relation
to all the beautiful and noble concerns
of life. The people need intelligence
upon this subject and plenty of it
| There can be more infidelity eradicat
ed-more profanity, family meanness
neighborhood discourtesy, political de
pravity, and all those things that are
false to a noble faith, by holding to g
habit that keeps the nerves in tune
with health. than would be possible
with theology or moral disquisition.
This is field that is being occupied
with great fervor of late, and it is for
tunate for the world that it is so. Il
will have much to do toward liftins
society to a truer appreciation of it
self
The Palladium is asked by the com
mittee in charge Of the arrangement:
for this meeting to call attention es
pecially to the fact that this is pub
lie meeting and that the public is no
only allowed to attend. but is earnest
ly requested and urged to turn out a.
fully as possible. Every minister, law
yer, teacher, business man and public
spirited citizen, as we'll as the mem
bers of women's clubs, are urged to at
tend and to take part in the genera
discussion which will follow DR.. Nc
Cormack' address. He will speak il
the interest of better sanitary cond1
tons in our community and he de
serves the cooperation and assistanc
of every man and woman in our city
1t is hoped that the attendance will b
large and representative.
