n people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would BE- no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. so do Other well-informed people.
One thing more. When person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
herodity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlaians claim that medicines viii
cure disease. Medicines may pailiate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers OF Nature toresist disease. Med
ioIncs sometimes arouse the efforts Of the
human body 20 right itself against de-
rangements. This Is the most that med
feline can do.

gestlon can DO miiigated, the throes Of

not be said to have cured. II simply
palliates disaereeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna Is cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna viii stimulate the stomach

j. Is admitted that al this can be
accomplished BY right living, but there
are SO many people who either viii not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
a tremendous amount Of good can b
done by the wise use Of Peruna.
