rHE pocroR,s QUESTION.
Advice Against the Use of Harsh Pur
gatives and Physics.

A Doctors first question when con-
suited by a patient Is, ARE your bow
els REGULAR" He knows that ninety
eight percent Of illness is attended
with inactive bowels and torpid liver.
This condition poisons the system
with noxious sases and waste matter
which naturally accumuates and
which must be removed through the
bowels before health can be restored.
Salts. ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly llkened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force passage through the bow
els, causing pain and damage to the
delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system. aud al
best only produces temporary relief
The repeated use of such treatments
causes chronic Irritation of the SOM
ach and bowels. hardens their tissues
deadens their nerves. stiffens their
muscles and generally brings about
an injurious habit which sometimes
has fatal results.
We have positive. pleasant and
safe remedy for constipation and bow

in place of the cherished castiron
curriculum of the fathers.
The forty years which have
elapsed since the attack. upon the
ancient fortress have proved the wis
dom which found an apt exponent in
Charles w. Eliot.
In every progressive institution in
the United States the Eliot idea has
triumphed. An examination OF the
curriculum of any college of 1850 IN
comparison with that of the sams
college today viii show the revo,u-
ton which has been wrought
A large share of the credit for
the advance in education must al
ways go TO the man who now an
nounces his retirement from active
work as he approaches the winter of
life.
His influence has been tremendous.
Year after year he has set forth his
ideas in the Annual Report OF the
President of Harvard" volume OF
several hundred pages which is on
every college presidents working
desk.
Entire publicity has been the
motto. There has been no CONCEAL
ment of weakness where that has
appeared. There has been quick
recognition of evil where il has
threatened.
As a result. there has been an
education of the country to COX to-
ward Harvard for forward move
ments. The who,e domain OF col
lege and secondary instruction has
felt the forceful impulse of master
IN administration.
The choice OF a successor 10 such
a leader will be difficult task. On
the foundations laid deep during
President Eliot's long term and with
increasing endowments an aggres-
sive new man ought to be abe to go
far forward.
But It is doubtful whether any
American college president will ever
make for himself such place as is
allotted by universal consent to
Charles W. Eliot.
