OF all happy conditions to which man
may attain health Is certainly most to be
desired. The pursuit of this condition is
an exercise almost universal and the
paths taken by the pursuers are many
and various. Mrs. Brown gets a head
ache from worrying over her spring hat
and tries TO cure herself by a half dozen
quinine tablets. Mr.. Eucharist breaks his
arm and would make it whole again by
faith.
Our hairy ancestors kept their health
by merely obeying instinct Men have
hartered instinct for knowledge and re-
fuse to make use of their acquisition.
One might wax eloquent over health or
even weave the idea into a poetic senti-
ment, but in my opinion the most impor-
tant thing to be said on the subject Is
this: Health is within every mans rights.
1t is natural condition and must be
sought for naturally. and stufing our
selves and drugging ourselves is unnat-
ural and an abomination.
