Note. Some years ago Dr. Stain back Wilson con
ducted for us a department under the above
heading. Hi< articles were so practical and help
ful that we have had many requests for back
numbers containing them, and for this reason
have decided to republish a few of the most pop
ular, so that old and new subscribers may pre
serve them. Dr. Wilson’s pen is stilled forever,
but his work will bear fruit for many years yet
to come.
It may be that many readers would
like to ask questions pertaining to this de
partment, and that my knowledge of Dr.
Wilson’s views and methods will enable
me to answer them; if so, it will afford me
pleasure.

THE PILL-BOLUS FAMILY.
M
ing and drinking. Acting
out this belief, he indulges his appetite to
the full, and over full extent, and is of
course dyspeptic. But tell him he is dys
peptic, and that he should restrict his diet
to plain articles of food in moderate quan
tity and at regular times, and he will
stoutly deny that he is suffering from
dyspepsia, but will admit that he has
“indigestion,” not knowing that indiges
tion in English and dyspepsia in Greek
mean about one and the same thing. But
while admitting that his digestive organs
are upset by some kind of gastric derange
ment, he nevertheless seats himself at the
table; some pasty stewed dumplings, pork
pie, bacon and greens, or some other
abominable article of food, which no hu
man stomach can digest with ease and
comfort, is offered him. He knows full
well from sad experience that his over
taxed stomach should not be subjected to
the task of digesting food that nothing less
strong than the stomach of a dog, hog, or
ostrich could manage; and yet, his per
verted appetite craves the forbidden dish.
And what does he? Does he, like a sensi
ble man, decline to indulge in eating food
which he knows has made him sick many
times before, and which will as certainly
do so again? No. He says: “I must eat
some of this. I know 1 will suffer from it,
that I will derange my liver and upset my
stomach; but then to-night I will take a
dose of blue mass or liver regulator, or if
the worst comes to the worst, I will send
for the doctor to-morrow, and he will
‘physic me out,’ and all will be right
again.”
He never dreams that by such indulgen
ces his vitality is impaired, his disease
aggravated, his power of future resistance
to disease diminished, and that the remedies
used to relieve the trouble are themselves
an additional tax on his vital powers, giv
ing temporary relief, but at the same time
leaving the system more subject to other
attacks.
Such conduct, if not palliated by igno
rance, might be denounced as sinning
against the body with what the lawyers
call “malice aforethought.” But though
we may make many allowances for igno
rance, and may pity rather than condemn,
the laws which govern our being, are as
immutable as the God which made them;
and people who thus sin against their
bodies must suffer the penalty. There is
no more escape from physiological than
from physical law—if a man slips from the
top of a house the law of gravity will
surely bring him to the ground. If he
deranges his system by taking improper
food, or medicine, loss of health, pain, and
in many cases early death, will as certain
ly follow. Ignorance will not turn away
the penalty. For sins against the body
there is no atonement.
Mrs. Pill Bolus shares the same absurd
ideas with her husband. She has an infant,
and believing that “growing children” re
quire an extra quantity of strong food, she
stuffs it from morning till night, not only
with the food from her breast provided by
nature, as the only and all-sufficient nour
ishment, but with diet, in many instances
strong enough for a laboring man. The
child of course becomes deranged in the
bowels, and instead of withholding the
offending food, she gives calomel for the
liver, and astringents to check the dis
charges, with perhaps an increased quantity
of food “to keep up the strength.” But in
spite of—or rather on account of—the treat
ment, the child is thrown into convulsions,
wastes away with fever, and ere long its
little remains of “skin and bones” are laid
away, adding another to the innumerable
short graves and empty cradles, the result
of over-feeding and misdirected drugging.
And strange to say, no one, parents,
preachers, friends, ever intimate to the
poor mother that her child has been killed
by her own ignorance and folly, the sad
result being attributed 0 a “mysterious
R. PILL Bolus is a member of a
very large family that believe
the chief business in life is eat-
dispensation of Providence,” which must
be born with pious resignation.
Os other members of the numerous Pill-
Bolus family, time and space forbid me to
speak. I will only mention some of their
follies, such as drinking lager beer, whisky,
brandy, tea and coffee and taking bitters
to increase their strength; swallowing all
kinds of blood-contaminating drugs to
“purify the blood.” Keeping doors and
windows closed, and refusing to bathe al.
over for fear of taking cold; and a thousand
and one similar errors inherited from an
cestors or imbibed from reading newspa
pers and medical almanacs. These people
actually dose themselves to death by tak
ing opiates to check a cough or diarrhoea,
when a single warm bath, wet-sheet pack,
or Turkish bath would remove the trouble,
and restore them to perfect health. But
then they have been taught that all reme
dial virtue lies in drugging; that the cough
or excessive discharge from the bowels is
the disease, and not a mere symptom or
effort of nature to relieve herself; and that
a bath and especially a warm bath would
be sure to give them a cold, and hence
they perish as the fool perishes.
Alas! that the multitudes of the human
family should suffer and die for the want
of proper instruction as to the true means
of preventing and curing disease. Alas!
that physicians are so remiss in teaching
the people that health consists much more
in right living than in taking medicine of
any kind.
A CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY.
I taught school last winter and this sum
mer. Seeing so many advertisements of
dish washers, I thought I would make
some money during vacation. You said
in your paper the Rapid Disher Washer
was best, so I sent to W. P. Harrison &
Co., Columbus, 0., who manufacture spe
cialties for agents, and got one, asked the
neighbors in and washed the dinner dishes
so quick and nice, everyone present bought
one. I made this week $62.00, and that is
a good deal better than school teaching, so
lam going to sell dish washers this win
ter. Other teachers would be glad to have
this hint.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When the tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
auy case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Mr. Editor:—l am always interested in
reading of the success of others and will
tell of mine. I tried school teaching, clerk

pay. I met a lady making sls a week
selling National Dish Washer—best made.
I ordered J dozen, washed Mother’s dinner
dishes in two minutes, sold all first after
noon; profit sl2. The next week I made
$37; in a month $143; I am a good talker.
I buy of the World Mfg. Co., Columbus,
O.; they are very kind to me; they manu
facture aluminum and electric goods, ma

Others can do as I have by writing them.
