Right Living is Natures
Cure. DIR. III. LinGIahr
and "der Gesundheits-
rath' in Eau Claire. Men
of Note who have found
the secret of the Simple
Life.
Not a great number turned out
to hear the opponents of N a.
ture Cure and the Sim Die
Life at the Assembly Room of
the Public Library last night.
Those present were given nearly
two hours of very interesting and
instructive discourse. The spea-
kers were DR.. H. Lindlahr
of Chicago and the G S d.
heitsrath and Editor of La
Crosse, men who have proven
themselves and who know whereof
they speak. 1t is not necessary
to give a lengthy synopsis of the
arguments used. 1t was simply
talks on right living, the value of
proper rest, pure food, fresh air
and the hundred and one little
matters, that are yet the greatest
things on earth. The doctor did
score the odd school of medi-
cine" and very severity. He said
he was looked upon as an outcast,
was called this and that, and then
added, I should worry"
which coming from a distinguished
German looking personaqe caused
a burst of merriment. He told of
healing thousands, and without
drugs and medicines, and has a
really wonderful record, with wide
experience in this country and
across the water that lends weight
to his words. EmDhatic in his
earnestness some of his express
sions sound harshly. He said at
one tine he would rather have
on his soul twenty saloons
than one drug store" He
frequently alluded to drugs as
poisons and to operating rooms
as the butchers ia b
Given in connection with his argu-
ments they perhaps did not sound
so hard, but there was no mista-
king his meaning. The idea was
that with the living of the right
life, the need of doctors, drugs
and operations would pass away.
In speaking of the laws of health,
he explained how acute S.
eases were in themselves n a.
ture' S re m e d y, and to sup
press them by outside means and
measures was to keep in the body
poisons that would be fatal. He
said the old school of medicine
was not S len &c, but a tumble
of opinions and experien-
ces, and added that every intelli-
gent doctor knew this. He de-
nounced serums of all kinds, alb
horred vaccination. He said Ger
many has long ago discarded So
called great remedies still in vogue
in this country. In particular he
singled out the 900 cure In
short he said health could not be
created by putting pr iso into
the system, and that no single case
of such cure was known. Further
that nine-tenths of chronic dis
eases are a~rtificially made SO by
drug poisoning and surgical
operations Nature cure
meant upsetting or turning
things as they are upside
down. He gave personal history,
and then told of the great hold
the German people are now taking
IN the nature cure, mentioning
many places and names. In this
country he named the Battle Creek
sanitarium. He said Nature Cure
was getting into the German army.
He discussed colds, catarrh,
fevers, many acute dis asses, and
he d all could be cured by follow
ing his plan. The body with pure
blood cannot catch cold" Dis
