Health a Great Asset A LOW PRICE OFFER $2.50 COMBINATION $1.50 DR. W. R. C. LATSON, Editor of Health-Culture H WEALTH is a most valuable asset. With it you can meet any strain or stress that may come to you. Be ready for the emergencies of life and able to do your best. Without it one cannot prosper or be happy. Health is within the reach of all. It is simply a matter of knowing something about how to live and the right use of Food, Air, Exercise and the Mind. Living to be well makes life a delight, not a burden. The person who is well does not have to sacrifice the joys of living; only the sick do that. HEALTH-CULTURE is edited by Dr. W. R. C. Latson, a wellknown authority, and one of the brightest and most advanced writers of the day on the Art of Living. It is opposed to the use of drugs which never cure, vaccination and needless operations. HEALTH-CULTURE stands for higher ideals of life and better living and all that is implied by this. Its aim will be to make men and women better Physically, Mentally and Morally, to save the lives of children, adding to the length of life and to the value of human existence by increasing the ability to accomplish and enjoy. One of Life's Essentials is the proper use of food, what to eat to meet the various conditions of life, what is best for the growing child, the active adult and the more sedentary aged. The consideration of this is an important feature of HEALTH-CULTURE, but as it cannot be considered fully, a work on this subject has been issued which admirably supplements the magazine. WHAT SHALL WE EAT? The Food Question from the standpoint of Health, Strength and Economy. Containing Numerous Tables, showing the Constituent Elements of all Food Products and their Relative Cost and Nutritious Values, Time of Digestion, etc., Indicating Best Foods for all Classes and Conditions. By Prof. Alfred Andrews. How food is digested and nourishes the body and what interferes with this is presented briefly and the work then takes up the food question in a most practical way as is shown from the following greatly condensed form: THE TABLE OF CONTENTS.

Whenever the true merit of a preparation is authoritatively established, imitation is sure to make its pernicious appearance. To counteract the injurious results of another of these fraudulent proceedingsin this instance affecting firm name and reputationSANDER & SONS have been compelled to appeal to law, and in the action tried before the Supreme Court of Victoria, the testimony of a sworn witness revealed the fact that this witness suffered intense irritation from the application to an ulcer of the defendant's product, which was palmed off as "just as good" as SANDER'S EUCALYPTOL. SANDER & SONS had the satisfaction to obtain a verdict with costs against this imitator, who is perpetually restrained from continuing his malpractice. Dr. Owen, in a report to the Medical Society of Victoria, and Dr. I. Benjamin, in the Lancet, London, both denounced, as others did before, on the strength of negative results, the application of unspecified eucalyptus products. This forms convincing proof that only an authoritatively sanctioned article can be relied upon. SANDER & SONS' EUCALYPTOL (Eucalypti Extract) 1. Has stood the test of Government investigation. 2. It was proved at the Supreme Court of Victoria by experts to be an absolutely pure and scientific standardized preparation. 3. It is honored by Royal Patronage. 4. It always produces definite therapeutic results. Therefore, to safeguard the physicians' interests and to protect their patients, we earnestly request to specify "SANDER'S EUCALYPTOL" when prescribing eucalyptus. The Meyer Bros.

A Private Retreat for Unfortunate Girls and Women during Pregnancy C. S. WOOD, M. D., In writing to advertisers, please mention THE COLUMBUS MEDICAL JOURNAL. A AN EDITORIAL KICKER EXPLAINS T THE Roycroft convention a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting several editors of health journals. I was brought face to face with these estimable men and women for the first time, although we had been acquainted with each other through our writings for several years. Some of them took occasion to say to me: "You are altogether a different sort of a man than I thought you were. Your medical writings gave me the opinion that you were a chronic kicker, a born fighter, a grumbler concerning things present, and a pessimistic prophet as to things to come. Personal acquaintance with you wholly changes this notion. You impress one as being optimistic, a good mixer, a thorough lover of things present, and a believer in things to come." I accepted the comment as being perfectly valid. I realize that through my medical writings I have only presented one side of myself. I have long since realized that in disclosing to the people the tyrannies of present and proposed medical legislation, I have been obliged to sacrifice myself, and present to my readers mainly the combative instincts. that are stirred within me by the cause I am espousing. This is a beautiful world, and a glorious generation. Happiness is prevalent. Prosperity is abroad in the land. I realize this. Those whose privilege it is to comment upon such things have a delightful and easy editorial function. I am an optimist. I believe that good and justice will finally triumph. But this does not shut out from my vision the dark places in our civilization, the growing dangers that threaten its wel fare. I have set before me the task of telling the people what the medical profession are designing. For twenty years past doctors have been very vigilant in procuring medical legislation that gives them absolute authority over our homes; that makes them autocrats over the lives and welfare of the people. No longer are the people allowed the choice of their physician, the liberty to take or refuse medicine, the privilege of accepting or refusing surgical operaoperations. These are already fastened upon them by law, and the prospects are immediate that a host of other laws will be enacted vastly more dangerous. The doctors have organized have organized the strongest political machine that ever existed in this or any other country. They no longer ask for laws. They demand laws. The home is threatened. The personal liberty of the people is being stolen away. The father and mother may no longer decide medical matters concerning their homes, but must stand aside and allow the political doctor to do as he pleases. Since I have set for myself the task of revealing these things to the people, how can I be otherwise than a chronic kicker, a bearer of ominous tidings to my readers? I would be unfaithful to my country if I did otherwise. If I were to content myself in writing pretty things while the doctors are devising pestiferous legislation, I should be wasting my time and deluding my readers. This is not the place or time to talk about peace, when underneath our feet a volcano is forming that sooner or later will burst in all its fury. Not a single day passes but I read in the medical journals some atrocious conspiracy, some maddening proposition which the political doctors are formulating. They are becoming bolder and bolder. Feeling quite secure that the common people do not read the medical journals, they need no longer have secret caucuses or private conclaves. They can write to each other through the medical journals. Keep in line with each other. Move step by step in solid rank against the defenseless masses. For instance, in order to illustrate what I mean, let me suppose that at the convention at East Aurora some one among the three or four hundred of the happy people who congregate there, had been taken ill of some acute disease. Suppose it had been necessary to call in a local physician. There are a number of acute diseases that are accompanied by an eruption. Suppose, in the opinion. of that doctor, the illness was caused by smallpox. What would have been the authority of the medical profession in the case? Mr. They could have quarantined Hubbard's place. They could have instantly thrown around the whole premises sufficient guards to prevent any one from entering or leaving. No doubt Mr. Hubbard imagines he owns the beautiful property on which his great and interesting work is accomplished. He probably thinks that no man could legally dispossess him of it, or hinder his work. He supposes he is a free man, to take drugs or reject them, to invite surgery or deny its entrance to his domain. But such is not the case. If it should happen in the comings and goings of the thousands of visitors who collect at his place every year, a case of smallpox should develop on his premises, he would quickly discover that some one else owns his property, some one else has to say what shall or shall not be done within its sacred precincts. The three hundred delegates could have been held at that place against their will thirty or forty days. Furthermore, every person on the premises, including Mr. Hubbard himself, could have been forcibly vaccinated. It is all very well for such people to get together and talk about their free |
