THE INDUSTRIOUS
MEDICINE EVIL

Since the beginning of mankind no
other agency has been responsible for
such frightful destruction to life and
health as-the Drug Delusion.
Many people cannot imagine Ii pos
sible for them to be cured of disease
unless they take something" This
belief is due partly to the fact that
those who take medicine often are
cured an spite of the medicine-they
would be cured without 1t is due also
to the fact that drugs often change
the symptoms-perhaps cure one dis
ease by causing another. Drugs may
produce deceptive results also by kill
ing the pain"-by deadening the
nerves for a time-though they do not
remove that which caused the pain:
the pain is liable to come back worse
than before. when the effect of the OPT
ate has worn off Other poisons deceive
by producing artificial stimulation for
a time-though there is bound to be a
depressing after-result.
WHY TAKE POISONf
You have heard of poisoning by
heada che powders, soothing syrups.
etc And the time is not far distant
when you, and people generally, will
recognize the danger of taking any
drug for any purpose. Drugs make
the condition so much worse, not only
because of the actual harm they do.
but because they lower the vitality
and lessen the body's power to resist
disease.

My Dear Sir: For six long years

able to walk without crutches for six

couraged, unable to do my own work,

without assistance, I decided to give

six treatments to cure me of my pains.
After two weeks 1 did not need the

When / returned from work / did not

l got bucket of coal up a few stairs
l felt all broke down.
Now 1 am in the best condition,
thanks to the wonderful power OF Prof.
