physician for mor than fourteen years,
and in that time has Investigated and
passed on th caua of death la mor
tliaa tl.000 caeca, he is In a position I
speak advlsadly.
"This doctor aboutt ha doctor carelessly
killing- people with drugs, or letting
them die because a didn't understand
their trouble. Is not rat tonal enough to
deserv serious consideration. Th truth
of the matter is that moat people let th
beg-laalng approach th and before they

veloped to as Incurable stage be for they
call on th doctor. Thea they expect
him to perform a mlraol with th
alchemy of drugs, and th day of mira
cle 1 ancient history. They delay un
til there Is a lob In sight for the under
taker befor they do what they should
have don la th very beginning -send
for or consult a physician.
"Prom my experience of fourteen years
a coroner's physician I should say that
I have found on out of every five of
th cases examined had tuberculosis In
Bom stag, and this covering something
mor than 11,000 case. Th evtdone
was generally la small area, often at
th apes of th lung. Uer I where
nature demoaatrat her ability to tak
car of the body when th system Is la
conditio to render th required aaalst
anc and support When the tubercular
germ enters th system and lodges In
th lung, forming a tubercle or nodule,
nature. In a healthy body, builds a wall
around it, closing it so that it cannot
do further damag. But th breaking
down or this wall, made poaslble Ly th
weakening of the system, will allow th
tubercle to eaoipe and multiply, and
then, unless prve iv measures be ap
plied promptly, a - -ie of well developed
tuberculosis Is the result.
"Keep th system In perfect order. Eat
lota of aalt and drink all th water you
can get outsld of. Flood yourself with
It and keep It up In all seaaans. morning,
noon aad night, and very hour bet wee.
Drink ocean of water, but not a drop of

Twenty-five, to thirty persons la every

greater Importance. There may be a weak
spot, or the beginning of decay la some of
the vital organs. r la some part of the
body that will effect them. The docTS
will find out thea Incipient condition mat
