Moderation in food and drink,
abundant fresh air, and exercise
without allowing our minds TO abb

were characterized by Doctor Taylor
as the safe ana sane lolHuia Avi

Coal tar products came in for theii
share OF criticism because Of theii
depressing heart action and reduc-

The question OF the susceptibility
OF different people to various foods
which resulted in a lowering of theii
resistance to disease was brought out
and DIT. Taylor advised all 10 stud,
