The rage of vivisection has made sur

Here are some true stories which are
worth perusal by all who contemplate
A gentleman in England became III
through worry over his wife, who had
undergone four hospital operations.
His case was diagnosed as "pernicfous
anemia," whatever that may mean.
Finally a surgeon was called and said
there must be an immediate operation
for duodaI ulcer. This is dangerous
malady, and the man says:

There are malignant growths which

The writer intimately knows a lady
VINO suffered from two internal growths
for neriod of years; and they van

nourishing food, baths, massage, and
course in school Of physical cul-
ture. -.
Ten years have passed since they dis
appeared and the lady is in perfect
health.
A woman who found small growth
or similar nature was advised to
famous hospital for that purpose. She
and her husand were assured that it
would be a most simple matter. Yet
the physicians performed a major op-
GRAFTON on this woman, without con-
sulting her husband, and she died the
third day afterward. The physician now
admits that similar growths have been

ish without treatment.
Yet this woman was killed, by an
unnecessary operation, and the huS-
band Is unable to obtain any reparation
because, the physicians belong to a reg
ular school and the hospital is fa-
nous one in Pennsylvania. The woman
who was killed was in the prime of
life and had newer suffered any pain
from this slight growth, but was adj
vised to have it removed before it
made her any trouble.
With such cases as these occurring
continually all about us, is it not time
that women called good common sense
to their command, when Suffering from
maladies peculiar to their sex; and be-
fore they put themselves in the hands
of surgeons that they should decide
to use all of Natures simple methods

And then turn to the light and it's

treatment of the spine through osteo-
pathy; and with all these that they
should learn the vast power which lies
in their own minds?
Scores of women turn to the hospital
operation as means OF diversion.
They are disillusioned with life in some
way; they are lacking an object, an
aim, a purpose; and through worry and
selfcentefed habits of thought they
grow i'll: soon the thought Of an opera
ton presents itself as an escape from
monotony. Afterward it Is their de-
