the mystic has a power Of feeling that
reaches beyond knowledge and is aware
by means more divine and sure than
knowledge Of the immediacy OF the abb

The mystic. through his absorption IN
God. becomes bound. with ties of love,
to his fellow men. And this Is. or neces-

will no longer be grossly deceived.
Pure medicine is more important
than pure food. and In this line We
are still at the beginning OF reform
Some of the patent medicines which
nre on the market are all right, and
may even be used to advantage, but
many are Of the most harmful quail.

ties. together with narcotics and hear
depressants. in some of these medi

general use. Through the agency o.
such purported remedies as these W.

drug habit and the beginnings o
drunkenness Cocaine and morphine
are often found In the headache pow
doris which are so freely used by man,

called remedy which advertised t.
