One of the most appalling facts
brought to light by the statistics of

these dreadful ailments have in

Chicago and in much the same ratio
in other parts of the United States.
These diseases arise almost wholly
from the process of straining the
human machine. They may be due to

err work or under work, In fact to any
of those irregularities in living which
