EOENTLY I met someone on the train hetween Chicago an
Highland Park. I didnt get his name, hut he rurnea on wp
be a doctor, too. He'd "caught a cold in the train last night.
"Was it so cold in the sleeper?" I asked.
"Lord, no, it was suffocating hot' he saidL To which I started
to remark, "Oh, I see, you caught a hotness M
Squinting at me over his specs, as if I had pricked his toy-balloon,
he wanted to know what I meant and I meant that he had filled up
his bellows all night long with foul, toxic, over-and-over-again inhaled
and exhaled human breath, and his blood-and-flesh was trying to
snuffle and leak it out of him in the form of slime, mostly and "if
you're sensible, doctor, you 01 help yourself to get rid of that load of
gaseous and slimy foulness.' '
"You mean to take a little x quinine, and..?" he dubiously
queried.
I wasn't looking for that, but caught the cue and sputtered out,
"Quinine! and why not a little whisky with it and some aconite or
belladonna and a cocaine spray and a few stiff doses of aspirin or
sodium salicylate and a Turkish bath . . . and erer and well,
doctor, are you going to eat some supper?"
"Why I guess so."
"Are you hungry?"
"Not much; land o' lost my taste but I'll manage to eat something all right."
There y6u are, boys and girls, little and big. Talk about force-feeding chicks and geese for market,
Just then the train reached his town, so I hastened to remark that if I were he I'd feed my body
plenty of pure air and water and orange or lemon juice and get rid of that "beastly cold."
You mean you would diet? You believe in dieting to cure a cold?" and off the train he went.
Off indeed 1
When Elbert Hubbard tells you that by writing AUTOLOGY I have placed the standard of the
creed of health FARTHER TO THE FRONT THAN ANY MAN WHO HAS LIVED FOR A THOUS
AND YEARS and when the Editor of the Dental Summary writes that in AUTOLOGY there is
MORE HARD COMMON SENSE, MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CARE OF THE BODY
IN HEALTH AND DISEASE, MORE ADVICE ABOUT DEBT FOR BRAIN, NERVE AND BODY
BUILDING THAN IN THE ENTIRE LIBRARIES OF THE WORLD BESIDES; and is worth $500 to
any man who cares for his own physical welfare, or the health of his wife and babies and when
Physical Culture Magazine "CONSIDERS AUTOLOGY ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL BOOKS
EVER WRITTEN" and when Mr. W. C. Fogg, Santa Cms, CaL, writes that "AUTOLOGY IS WITH
OUT DOUBT THE GREATEST BOOK SINCE THE BIBLE" and when Mr. Frank Smith, Richmond,
Va., writes regarding 'AUTOLOGY, "NO BOOK, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, WILL DO MORE TO
DECREASE CRIME, STRENGTHEN VIRTUE AND ADD TO THE VALUE AND JOY OF LIVING.
I WILL NEED TEN COPIES AS SOON AS THE CLUB OF AUTOLOGISTS IS .INCORPORATED IN
THIS CITY. AT THE MEETING OF THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION I SHALL SPEAK IN
FAVOR OF HAVING AUTOLOGY ADOPTED AS A TEXT BOOK IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS."
They are not throwing bouquets at me but LIFE-BUOYS TO YOU. AUTOLOGY is no theory, no fad,
no creed and no experiment either. It is LIFE'S AND HEALTH'S TEXT BOOK. That you may judge
for yourself write for "Guide to Autology" which is itself quite a gem, so they say. Please enclose
