CURING DISEASE.
BY PROPER FOOD,
Every thinking man must be impressed by the fact that the modern doctor is relying less and less on the administration of drugs for the cure of the ordinary illnesses of life, and; more and more on the selection of proper food. As a matter of fact, this idea is not so now as it seems, for it has been advocated for hundreds of years for Thomas Sydenham, who was enlled the English Hippocrates,' and lived in the seventeenth century, wrote: "There are not a few diseases which can be cured by the use of proper diet alone."

In the first place, it necessitates the talking of a quantity of fluid which, in itself, may greatly disturb the digestion,
In the second place, it is by no means easy to get pure milk in hot countries.
In the third place, in order to preserve the milk it is frequently mixed with chemicals, Bike boracic acid. This is exceedingly liable to cause indigestion in adults and certain to do so in children, while many people find it disagrees with them in other ways.
MANY DEVICES FOR CURE.
Many methods have been devised for over- coming these difficulties, and dried milks of various kinds have been recommended to be
uscd.
It is constantly found, however, that the sufferers in warm climates need something more than milk products to sustain their health and strength. The reason, is that their nervous system is constantly affected through the too rapid using up of the phosphorus salts which play so powerful a part in maintaining the health of the nervous
system.
The pre-eminent need of such people, and, Indeed, of most people who live in hot coun- tries, is a food which combines the nutritive
