FACTS
In Relation to the
Circulation of the Blood

In the year 1919 DR.. William
Harvey advanced the PROPOSE
lion that the blood circulated;
just 288 years ago. He
was ridiculed and scofed
at by the medical fraternity
and the laity at large. His
proposition was demonstrated
beyond the question Of doubt
by the introduction OF a micro
scope in the year 1923 by
Swammerdam. Since then the
world has believed in the circu-
lation OF the blood. In a healthy
adult the velocity of the move
ment OF the blood through the
arteries averages IL to 20 feet
per second. (In sick adult
suffering from any disease the
average drops from ) to 10 feet
per second.)
Experiments prove that the
whole round of circulation IS
accomplished in d little less
than half a minute in healthy
adult. Now, just stop and think
how low your vitality is when
you are suffering from any
disease. Hundreds Of people
are sick and dragging them
selves about in a condition that
it takes II times the normal
rate, or 8 minutes, to have one
complete round OF circulation.
HOW LONG CAN YOU
LIVE AT THIS RATE?
This low rate produces the
following diseases:

Paralysis ImpOtency

It landed in Hongkong in 1869. 1t was

Allen, the American consul general,
the ship gave an excursion around the
island on which the city is situated. I
was among the 1900 on board. 1t
was a gala day. Whistles blew, people
shouted, and numerous small sailing
boats and tugs escorted us.
"As remember now, the vessel be-
longed to the Pacific Mail Line and
sailed from San Francisco. She made
the trip of 5000 miles in 80 days, and
when she arrived was in perfect trim

that this is the reason why not a

over the hearty singing of familiar

The Missionary's Worst Hardship.
Even worse, as may as well men,
ton at the outset, since it is the con-
slant specter at every missionary fam
lily board, is the enforced separation
of parents from children. This strikes
down to the deeps of human natures
The breaking of these ties that are as
old as the race, and stronger than
death, is the overcoming tragedy of
missionary life. Children must be ed
ucated in the homeland; it seems i'm
possible to raise a good American in
an Asiatic atmosphere. Even in earli
est years the children imbibe with the
native tongue more knowledge of evil
than comes to the normal boy and girl
at home in 20 years. AS they approach

coffee drinking and by changing from
coffee to Postum?
2. Give name and account of one or
more coffee drinkers who have been
hurt by it and have been induced to
quit and use Postum.
8. Do you know any one who has
been driven away from Postum be-
cause it came to the table weak and
characterless at the first trial?
4. Did you set such a person right
regarding the easy way to make it
clear, black, and with spappy, rich
taste?
5. Have you ever found a better
way to make it than to use four heap
ing teaspoonfuls to the pint of water,
let stand on stove until real boiling
begins, and beginning at that time
when actual boiling starts, boil full Is
minutes more to extract the flavor and

of the missionary's opulence are rap

UNCONVENTIONAL names, are engaged
in every branch of mission work, and
come from every part of Japan, as well
as from three or four other countries.
All alike dress most ineXpensively,
and one does not have to look closely
to see the evidences of enforced eco
nomy familiar in the case of the cOun-
try parson in the home land. The
summer homes hereabouts can boast
little except fine views and plenty of
fresh air; they are not on a par with
the cottages in the resorts I have
named The buildings are plain wood
en- structures, generally implanted or
else an ugly red color, and each
dwelling seems to be crowded, in the
approved summer resort fashion; for
expenses diminish by division. There

here Housekeeping in Japan does
not entail the domestic drudgery COM
mon in the west, and altogether life is
smoother and more comfortable. Al
ready it has been made plain that the
commonly entertained notion concern
ing the hardships of missionary life in
Japan, at least, is erroneous. This is
a civilized land. Most of the convent
ences and comforts of life in America
are obtainable here, plus many not
known to the occident. So far as the
material aspects of residence in Japan
are concerned, see no reason for the
fearful pity and sympathy so frequent
ly extended to the missionary. Life
in the Sunrise kingdom may be as en-
3oyable as life anywhere else.
