FOLLY OF BEING ILL.

MAN OUGHT TO LIS E TO 1-10. [ KICKING OVER THE TRACES. Dr. Leonard Williams, or j-iarley- . street, speaking- at the Aitiwycn Clan, London, on Physiological Elllciency, ~aid ttiut if people got a disease it was lor the most part, uicir own iault, and tliey ought not to be pitted as victims out condemned as louls. The ' man who talked about being a martyr to gout or rheumatism was talking arrant noiiswise, and he might just as well talk about being a martyr to delirium tremens. When a man arrived ai maudiiy it was up to him to maintain mat slate oi maturity as long as he could, instead oi impairing iiis efficiency as quickly as possible by sending, out 5.0.5./cafes to pvery microbe to come and take up residence in his body. Man’s average weight; at 24 \v«a list., while at 50 it was 12st 41b. That was absurd, as the real normal m I the latter case would be less rather than more than ihe young man s weight. A man should live 130 or 140 years. Without vitanilnos no one tuuu, live, and these were found hi raw : foods and were relatively absent irom cooked foods. The cooking stove wu s certainly not the invention oi a Higher Power. Tina question of physiological efficiency went back the question of diet, and they should partake of meagre fare, fresh air, and all kinds oi raw foods, dairy produce, and salads. .11 they must kick over the traces, then he warned them that they must attend to the repairing s-lnuses in their lease. j
