That a sou*id mnd4 in a sound -bo4 is one of the best and g faee iftesof, a kind providence no one will deny, Mankind in ail ages have sought w o b- tain the elixir of life, have hunted for some means of proionging health, vigor and vitality-have in fact hoped that they miglit find 118oée blithe wine Or brigbî elizir peerleas tbey cootid drink And so bjecome immort&L" But whiie man can hardly hope to attain that coveted prize this side of the eternal world, yet it evident to al who give the subject any consideration that modern science, skill and educa- tion in the treatment of the ills that flesh is heir to, have worked wonders in restoring the original body to its original 1 form divine," and in reiieving many sufferers from untold misery, bringing tbem back to bealth and hap- piness, and giving them a feeling that life is indeed wortb living.
