HOW THE invalid
May GET WELL
The Panacea, Says Ella Wheel
err Wilcox, Is Milk-and
Milk Alone. :
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Way down in Wethersfield, Tex.
lives Captain Horace Baker, land agent,
surveyor. ~abstractor. Sixty-six years
Of age and in robust health. An old
llese athlete. Here is what be says
about health:
Il am a living proof that if any in

COWS milk. absolutely alone. and on
this simple, pure, wholesome. natural
diet regain health n strength.
Tell the first dear friend you meet
who is an invalid, given up by the doc
tors. to simply drink all the warm.
fresh, pure cows milk he or she can
hold. in the morning on an empty
stomach.
And that will be all he or She will
want for breakfast.
''Thcn drink all he or She can, when
ever he or she takes a notion. h
more the better.
But don't drink 1t after the cream
has risen long. or if no fresh milk is to
be had blow the cream back.
ITO take this healing by suggestion

Not every ailing MAJ and woman
has a COW or the means to procure one.
Even possessing a COW, and taking cars
of her. would cure many an Invalid,

such testimony as this.
Many times in this column reference
mas been made to an athletic and hand
some man in Connecticut, who from
hopeless invalidism and despair was
restored to perfect health by giving up
all solid food and all medicine and liv-
ing on three quarts of milk a day-cach
quart taken in place of the meal. and
slowly slipped. Another pint just be-

over seven years on milk alone, and
chat he is a model of manly vigor and
strength. and is surprisingly youthful
in appearance. He owns no cow-and

every month by the substitution of
milk for solid food.
l believe this institution does more
good for less money than all the other
sanitariums in the land combined.
1t seems pitiful to look about in
ones circle of acquaintance in this
beautiful and glorious world. and to
see how few enjoy the health and vi
tality which is every mortal's rightful
dover.
And it seems incredible that so few
make any sensible effort to regain
health, when the simple and ineXpen-
,sive methods lie Within the reach Of
all.
A mere letting go of cooked Gods
for a few months, and living on UNI
cooked products and milk, with simple
physical exercises and deep breathing
Systematically observed, would decrease
The death rate one-half, and the list OF
invalids three-fourths. And this with
no Intervention of middle men-doctors
or druggists.
Yet. because health is so easily OBJ
tained at such small expense, people
remain i'll.
Human beings like to do difficult and
expensive things in their search for
health and happiness.
Three-fourths of the invalids on earth
today are victims of mingled ingredi-
ents OF ignorance, self-indulgence, lazi-
ness and s~tubbornness.
If they let go of all these. and of
their medicines, doctors and cooked
foods, and lived for a few months on
milk alone, they would be restored to
health and vigor.
But it is too simple and calls for too
much self-control-the control of hab-
it's of appetite. OF such as these Christ
said: Let the dead bury their dead"
But che that has ears to hear, let him
hear" and be well.
