A LETTER TO ODD FELLOWS.
To the members of the I. 0. of 0. F. :
Brethren. —I make no apology
for writing this letter, and leave
my motives to be inferred from its
contents. I shall not flatter you
with eulogies upon the great and
betiificent order whose principles
we profess to cherish, nor praise as
the workings of a perfect institution
our first faltering steps in the path
■of progress on which our society
•has entered and in which it has
great advances to make before it
can satisfy the aspirations of its
truest friends.
Neither do I find fault with the
work we are doing. As far as it
goes, it is a righteous work. We
relieve distress, we sustain the sick,
we bury the dead, we cheer the af
flicted. These are human duties,
just to do, and barbarous to be left
undone. < >ur organization enables
us to do this work with regularity,
promptness, and efficiency, and we
have our reward in the security of
having these services when we need
them, and in the consciousness of
acting worthily toward our brethren
ot the order. In a limited sense
xtnd sphere, we do as we would be
-•done by. In a narrow and imper
fect way, ours is a Christian institu
tion, probably the best of its kind,
and greatly superior in its practical
workings to many that make high
pretensions.
This is well ; hut there is, in the
legitmate scope of our operations,
much that is left undone. We want
consistency and completeness. We
insure onr members nursing and
medicine when they are sick, for
getting that “prevention is better
than cure,’ and that it should be our
endeavor to itisure them health. We
insure our members a respectable
funeral after they are dead ; what
we ought to do is. to prevent their
•dying in the prime of life, and with
out any natural necessity—for the
only natural death is the death of old
age. We aid widows and orphans,
but we do little or nothin? to save
our women and children trom be
coming such.
Locking the stable after the horse
is stolen is practical wisdom, com
pared with getting sick and then
sendin? for doctors and medicine.
o
Burying a man is a sad necessity ;
but there is much reason to believe
that it would be far less trouble, in
a majority of cases, to save his life.
What I mean is, in plain language,
that in nine cases in ten sickness
might be prevented, and deaths
avoided in a still greater proportion,
by using proper means ; and those
means it is the duty of Odd Fellows
to inquire into.
It is a rule of the order that a
member is riot entitled to a benefit
if his sickness is caused by intem
perance or licentiousness. Now, it
is as certain as any truth in science,
that some kind of intemperance or
some kind of licentiousness is the
cause of more than nine-tenths of
all our dieases. Bv what riht can
V f
we exclude the man from the bene
fits of our society whose sickness is
caused by rum, when we extend our
aid to the man whose constitution
has been undermined by tobacco ?
By what right can we withdraw our
aid from the drunkard, when we are
paying hundreds and thousands of
dollars to cure diseases caused by
gluttony, or to bury its victims?
Why should we put the ban of our
society on intemperate drinking,
and have nothing to say of intemper
ate eating ?
When disease is caused by licen
tiousness, we withdraw our benefits,
scarcely with justice, it seems to me
since the sick man has paid his mo
ney like the rest, and in being sick
certainly has the worst of it ; but
we do not reflect that half the dis
eases of civilization come from some
form of licentiousness ; nor do we
think that the intemperate indul
gence of the passions, when legaliz
ed and respectable, is not the less a
violation of the laws of health, and
a fruitful cause of disease and death.
If we are right in refusing bene
nts to those who bring disease upon
themselves in one or two ways, why
should we stop here, when it is as
certain as any tact in science that
we bring diseases upon ourselves
in finny other ways? Is the glut
ton more entitled to our sympathies
aud aid than the drunkard ? Why
*hould we condemn alcohol and tole
rate tobacco, when they belong to
the same class of poisons, and both
destroy the human constitution ?
If we are to exclude any from
our benefits, the only rule of right
would be, to exclude every man
who had in any manner unecessari
ly brought his disease upon himself.
If sickness came to a brother from
severe labor in the support of his
family., he would be entitled to *3 rm
pathy and aid. If at came from
necessary exposure, from accident,
from poverty, or from ffie proximity
of any nuisance from which he
could not escape, lie should be taken
care of. But when a man is made
sick by mere lack of ‘exercise, by
downright laziness Whtft right'has
fie to-sympathy, unless we class la
ziness as a disease, and then we
should find gluttony or some form
of intemperance to be its cause ?
When a man persists in shutting
himself up and breathing bad air,
in sleeping in unventilated rooms,
and denying bis lungs the first re
quisite of health, and so becomes
sick, as he certainly must, with
what face can he call upon our or
der for relief ? He has made him
self sick bv his own stupid violation
of one of the first instincts of nature
and one of the most important laws
of health. If we exclude anyone
surely the man who will’ not breathe
God’s free air is not entitled to our
aid.
When a man lets his body be
come filled with the foul matter ol
disease, from inattention, to person
al cleanliness, he has less excuse
than the drunkard or the licentious.
These mav plead appetite and pas
sion in excuse ; but the filthy man
has nothing is plead but a beastly
laziness, a swinish fondness for dirt,
and a mad-dog antipathy to water
Mere downright filthiness is one of
the chief causes of a large propor
tion of the diseases that drain our
treasuries. The man who goes day
after day, and, as is sometimes the
case, week after week, without
washing his whole body, who wears
the same under-clothes for a week
together, and even sleeps in the 5
same clothing at night that he wears
bv day, becomes inevitably, and by ;
his own neglect, a filthy mass of dis
ease, and no society ought to be
taxed to pav for the consequences j
of such suicidal brutality. This is
plain talk, but it seems proper to the
subject.
The man who habitually over
loads his stomach, who crams him
self with indigestible dainties, who
fills his system with the scrofula of
stall-fattened animals, or the masses
of impure fat that come reeking from
pig-sties,has little claim on our sym
pathies when his system rebels
against these outrages on nature.
Drunkenness is a more venial sin
than gluttony; and of all modes of
self-murder, that bv eating is not
the least criminal, and is certainly
one of the most despicable.
The laws of health are few and
simple—all mav learn them who
will. The causes of disease are
merely the violations ofthese laws ;
and as all these violations lead to the
same result, one would seem to be
as bad as another. Every man can
easily understand the laws arid con
ditions of health, and as easily prac
tice them, so far as his own volition
is concerned. He cannot control
the conditions of health around him,
but lie may aid in that, and he can
lake care of h s own person and
habits. There is no lack of the
means of instruction. I have writ
ten upon this subject again and
again, and my last book can be
bought for a shilling and read in
an hour. It covers, I believe, the
whole ground, and leaves no excuse
for ignorance.
Now let us see what is the duty
of onr society. It seems very plain.
It should first make sure that every
member is well instructed as to
what is necessary for the preserva
tion of his health. Every lodge
should have an officer appointed, to
charge men at their initation on
this subject. Tracts and books, if
necessary, should be published.
Every lodge ought to have lectures
ou physiology. I will give them
whenever called upon, without
charge; and ihere are many other
physicians, l doubt not, who would
cheerfully do the same. This would
be doing the first duty of society ;
and by this means every member
would understand how to keep him
self well.
The next point would be, to reso
lutely refuse benefits to all who ha
bit ually disregarded the health re
gulations ot the order. I would go
further. Such a member ought to
be expelled. No insurance compa
ny will insure the building of a man
who reckh s>ly exposes it to confla
gration. Why should we insure the
heabh of a man who is continually
invitingattacks of disease, by violat
ing all the laws of health? What
right has a man who will not take
care of himself to draw upon the
funds of the society to pay for the
consequence of his criminal negli
gences or indulgences? First let
a man be instructed in the laws of
health and the causes of disease ;
then, ifhe wilfully trangresses, let
him take the consequences. His
sickness is self-inflicted. His death
is just as much a suicide as that ot
the man who .poisons himself with
arsenic, or dies of the delirium tre
mens. He has no more right to call
upon his lodge for aid than the man
who sets his house on fire has to
collect his insurance of a company
in Wall street.
It is lime /or us to think of these
tilings. Every Odd Fellow’s lodge
should be a Health Association. Its
members should study to prevent
disease, to avoid sickness in their
own persons, aird in their families.
If they are at a loss, let them call in
the most scientific advice they ca’n
get. Remember that “an ounce off
prevention is ‘worth a pound of
cure ;” and that the art of keeping
well is better than all the medicines
in the wot Id. There is no mystery
in the matter, and no difficulty.
The laws of nature are of wonder
ful wisdom and simplicity. Effects
never come without causes. Vege
tables, animals, men —all have
their conditions of health; and if
these are violated, disease must fol
low. Nature never intended that
men should spend large portions of
their lives in sickness,prostrated by
disease, and racked by pain. Na
ture never intended that half the
children born into the world should
die before they are ten years old,
and that the average life of man
should not exceed thirty years.
But Nature cannot prevent men
from killing themselves, if they are
stupidly bent on self-destruction.
“What a man so wet h, that shall
he also reap and it is an impious
blasphemy for us to call that a
“Mvsterious Providence” which
is the result of our own criminal ne
glect or more criminal self-indul
gence.
Various efforts have been made to
awaken anti enlighten the public
mind on this subject, and it is now
exciting more attention than at any
former period. The Independent
Order of Odd Fellows has the pow
er, the influence, and the organiza
tion to give the Health Reform such
an impulse as it has never yet re
ceived. It is the proper work of the
order; and every ten dollars of our
funds, expended in diffbssing intel
ligence among our members on the
preservation of health, would save
us hundreds which we now pay out
in cases of sickness, besides saving
pain, anxiety, and agonies which
cannot be estimated.
I trust that this letter may be as
well received as it is intended.
Cherishing the bene voletv principles
ofourOrder, 1 have its good at heart.
Asa physician, the preservation of
health is as much a partof my duty
as the cure of disease. A doctor
ought to preach on health as a cler
gyman does on religion; and the
preservation ol health, as a religious
duty, would he a better theme for
the pulpit than many that are cho
sen. But l have still another reason
for writing this letter. As secreta
ry of the Society of Public Healthy it
is my duty to use every means
which may promote its objects, and
l can think of no better means than
an endeavor to enlist the energies
of a great and philanthropic order
in the noble work of health reform.
T. L. NICHOLS, M. D.
A Common wealth ought to be
put as one huge Christian person
age, one mighty growth or stature
ot an honest tnan, as big and com
pact in virtue as in body , for look
what the grounds and causes are of
single happiness to one man, the
same you shall find them to a whole
state; by consequence, therefore
that which is good and agreeable to
the State, will appear soonest to be
so, by being good and agrpeable to
the true welfare of every Christian,
and that which can justl y be proved
hurtful and offensive to every true
Christian, will be evinced to be alike
hurtful to the State. — Milton .
It is often easier to obtain favors
from the pride, than from the chari
ties of men. A shrewd preacher
after an eloquent charity sermon,
said to his hearers, ‘l am afraid
from the sympathy displayed in
your countenances, that some of vou
may give too much. I caution you,
therefore, that you should be just
before you are generous ; and wish
vou to understand that we desire no
one who cannot pay his debts to put
siny tiling in the plate,* r l'lie col
lection was a rousing one.
Our John says he admires the
linen sacks worn by the ladies.—
They are so becoming, and fit so
nice that it.is very comfortable to
just put one’s arm around the wearer
to see how large they are.

BLAKE’S
PATENT FIRE PROOF PAINT, FROM OHIO.
This singular and valuable substance is so<d in
line powder, then mixed with liu-eed oil to the
consistency of thick paint, and applied with a
brush, and after an exposure of a few months to
the atmosphere, this coating becomes a perfect
slate or coat of mail, protecting whatever is cov
ered from the action of the weather and from fire.
It is a mineral substance, and has been found
upon analyzation by Dr. Chilton, of the city of
New York to consist of larger proportions of
Silicia Alumine, Frnt Oxide of Iron, and Mag
nesia, with lesser of Lime and Carbon. It is used
extensively for covering roofs of either shingles,
match boards, tin, zinc, sheet iron, or thick paper,
if your shingles have been on for years, you have
only to sweep off the moss and lint, with a stiff’
broom, and cover with two or three good coats,
and in a few months you have a perfect slate roof
impervious to the action of weather and fire. There
is nothing equal to it for steamboats, and car-decks,
for all kinds of iron it forms a coating nearly as
hard as the iron itself and never cleaves off*. It
shloud be used for every thing you wish to protect
Irom fire and weather.
In some places a spurious article has been sold
as the genuine, therefore purchasers should be
careful to buy of Authorized Agents. Every bbl.
is marked BLAKE $ FIRE-PROOF PAINT.
