and in his boyhood was very feeble After working on farm, in a paper
 mill, and as clerk in a store, he enter
 ed Amherst with the design of quali- lying himself for the ministry. h
 1926 he was ordained minister in the Presbyterian church. A few years later he became temperance
 lecturer and it was while thus en- gagged that he came to the conclusion that dietetic sins were largely re- sponsible for intemperance, and that a proper diet and hygienic mode of life would relieve the craving for stimulants. This idea he developed in lectures and books, and the "Gra- ham Lectures. on the Science of Hu- man Life,'' became the leading text books of health reformers for several decades after it's publication in 183a.
