Only when the processes of nutri tion fall or are weakened, are the germs required to perform their proper function—the total failure of which would soon make life Impossible. The low ering of vitatty through over work, worry or autointoxica tion I* a predisposing ca to any disease, seen particularly In the contraction of pneumonia or consumption. Infections need to be combatted and there are all artificial means to assist nature in antedating and overcoming Infections and of aiding her In strengthening vi tal resistance. The body may be regarded as a nutritional ma chine that needs to be kept in good running order, by adjust ment and repairing, but the es sential fundamental condition for the maintaining and restor ing of health is the mainte nance of normal, vigorous nutri tion by simple, wholesome food, pure air, water, sunshine, ex ercise and good mental condi tions.
