It ts a cnriona fact that perfect health is not consistent with high muscular development. Professional athletes and all men who acquire phenomenal strength seem to lose in length of life and activity what they gain for a few years in record breaking powers. Take, for instance, Louis Oyr the Canadian giant, who broke all weight-lifting records. He weighed 3301 b, and was all solid bone and muscle. He coold hold his wife out at arm’s length with one band, and raise a 3001 b barrel from the floor to his shoulder, using only one hand and arm. Yet this remarkable man was mnaole-bouad and crippled at 37, whenUie should have been at the height of his wonderful powers. Kennedy, who won a diamond belt for lifting with his hands from the floor, absolutely without apparatus, a 10001 b weight, was used up and crippled before be was 40. ONE VIEW OP GERMS. According to the medical press it seems that nothing less thorough than total abstention from food and drink can protect ns from the imbibition of disease germs, inasmuch as there is not an article of daily consumption which will not harbour and propagate the bacilli in greater or lesser number. We cannot even eat a cabbage or vegetable in the comfortable assurance that we are safe from infection, for it has recently been shown by Lominsky that the specific organisers of anthrax and typhoid can exist for more than eighty days and multiply in plant tissues. After all, is it worth while to trouble ourselves whether a cabbage contains 100 or 1000 bacilli, when we know that we live from morning to night in a more or less thick fog of germs of all sorts. And further, when danger does threaten, yon can render yonr system absolutely germ proof, by the regular use of IMPEY’S MAY APPLE. Taka eight to ten drops after each meal. Its effect is wonderful.
