or medicine, there is danger in all these, so I will look out for all of them from this time on as long as I live. I will not be led around longer by my stomach to places where I do not want to go, and where this last party says don't go you are safer at home. I like this last re- solution, where it says apply good common sense to everything you are going to do before you do it. 53 Now is it not wise for any person to be very careful what kind of fuel or food they put in their stomach, its what you eat that keeps you alive, your body is your own machine and the better care you take of it the longer it will last. It is a duty you owe to yourself and the God who gave you life, to look after your health and to be very careful how you eat and drink so as to live long. This is more important than anything in all your life. You can prolong your life if you will or you can destroy it at your will. Everything you eat or drink or do is surely a benefit or an injury to you. Nothing stops still to wait for you, you must look out for yourself through all this life. This is only too true. An honest man is the noblest work of God. If all men were honest and true, This world would be a paradise to you.. Europe had a Newton and a Wellington. Asia had a Mohammed and a Confucius. America had a Washington and a Franklin. The whole union of nations have a Christ and a Devil. Four were teachers of good to the people and four were teachers of strife and war. The devil is directly or indirectly at the head of 54 all evil, he leads the weak minded people to ruin in such a way that they cannot discover his ways and and tricks to deceive them. A WORD TO PARENTS. As soon as a child is three or four weeks old feed it with every thing thatagrees with mother; what the mother eats makes milk and likewise will agree with the baby. If the mother has no milk for her baby have a cow fed on corn-meal, wheat, beans and timothy hay, and a few potatoes, once a day ; then feed the baby on the same nutritious food and you will have fat and healthy children. Feed your children with a spoon or cup ; not a bottle or tube. Don't toss your baby up and down but when they get tired lying in one position turn them over; they ought to be turned over often. Don't hug your children while their bones are soft and tender. If there is any doctor or any one else who wants to make a specialty of any one disease I mention in this book, I will teach them confidently and separ- ately. DR. STARR'S BOTANICAL PILLS. If you want to live healthy and long rake one of Dr. Starr's Liver Pills once or twice a week. If you go to a yellow fever country take one of Dr. Starr's Liver Pills every day and you won't have it. If you have La Grippe take one of Dr. Starr's Liver PjIIs every day and they will cure it. It is not natural nor was it intended by the Cre- ator of nature for plants to die in the middle of the summer ; if they do, something is surely wrong. Neither was it intended by the Great all wise God for any human being to die in mid-life or under his or her normal age. If a child is once healthy and sound in every respect and is then treated strictly according to the intention of the Creator, it will live to its' normal age, three-score and ten years or more. If a child is once in perfect health and its parents know just what to give it to eat at all times and how much, and at what hours, and how much to exercise it and at what hours, just as Nature s Law demands all through life ; then such person or persons would live their days out as in- tended from the beginning. Every human being should go to bed at dark: 56 and do all their work by the light of the sun. Do not work by artificial lights at all. Children should go to bed at dark to become healthy and strong: men and women. How the author of this book has lived all through his life. He never drank any intoxicating liquors of any kind. He never chewed or smoked tobacco. He never ate as much as he could at any meal. He never drank more than a half tumbler of ice water or more than a tumbler of pump water at a time. He never would eat anything that was not good for his stomach or cause any disorder in his digestive organs. This was the great study of Ins life as to what to eat, how much and at what time, to be healthy and strong. He never ran as fast as he could. Jvever lifted as much as he could. Never went under the water with his head. He goes to bed at eight and gets up at five o'clock. He eats at seven, iwelve and five o'clock. These have been his habits since he was fourteen years of age and he is now nearly seventy-eight, and is in perfect health and can endure as much as most young men. He has not lost a meal on account of sickness for fifty-seven years. He takes regular exercise every day, rain «or shine. .)< The greatest man in the world is the one that raises the most grain to feed mankind. The greatest woman in the world is the one that raises the most children. The greatest friend to the working man is the man who employs the most of them. The wisest man in the world is the man that takes best care of his health every day. The wisest man in business is the man that saves what he makes and earns. The greatest fool in the world is the man that works the hardest all the week and spends all his money on Saturday and Sunday and goes to work penniless and sick on Monday. Every body ought to go to bed when the sun goes down, and rise with the sun in the morning ; this is Nature's Law since the beginning of the world. The man that lives nearest to the Laws of Nat- ure will naturally live the longest. The man that violates the laws of nature sins .against his own flesh, A boy who smokes and chews tobacco before he is sixteen years of age will never grow to his nor- mal size in body or strength, nor will he live his normal days out. Every thing you eat, drink, smoke, or chew is either a benefit or an injury to you. Examine 53 this yourself and you will find this only too true. The following is the death and birth rate accord- ing to the Health Officer's .report for. the last five vears in the District of Columbia.. Deaths, year en ding June 3-0 , 18.8-6,. 4,671 a u i c u a 1887,. - 4,665 a a ' u u u 1888, 5,040' u u u ex. a 1889, 5,152 u a u u U 1890, 5,564 25,09.5- Births, year ai iing June 30, 1886, 3,522 u a « a a 1887, 3,728 u a a a a 1888<, 3,670- U u ll a. a 1889, 4,001 i. iC u u a 1890, 4,070- 18,991 Still birth, year ending June 30, 1886, - 421 a a a a a " 1887, 406 a a u a u '< 1888, - 458 a a u a a " 1889, - 443 cc u u a a " 1890, - 474 2,202 m Births, ------ 18,991 Still births, ----- 2,202 Total, 21,193 Deaths for five years ending June 30, ?90 25,094 Births for five years ending June 30, ?90 21,193 Deaths over births. 3,902 The figures show three thousand nine hundred and two more deaths than births. Reports of the Health Officer for the two weeks ending June 23, 1891, were 140 deaths and follow- ing week ending June 30, 1891, were 170 deaths; showing an increase of 30 deaths in one week. The above is the two last weeks before the pub- lication of this book. It shows a gradual increase of deaths. Now where are our doctors if it depends altogether on the weather as to how many people die. This is a point blank proof that the present prac- tice of medicine is a failure and that the number of deaths depend entirely on the changes of the weath- er and the care the people take of themselves. I have a positive cure for Cholora Infantum in hot or cold weather- 60 ZZZ From April 7, 1888 to August 19, 1888, 800 babies died under 3 years of age, said to be caused by milk. About August 19, average deaths were 10 per day. Remedies. This is the way a doctor writes about drugs: — As for treatment I have just been looking over Lander Brunton, Aitken Hooper and some others of the same class. Certainly I had to study them in the days gone by, but just now, for the sake of my fellow men I have been giving them special at- tention. Dear me ! How can miserable disease live in front of so terrible an array of terrible re- medies! What canst thou not have, poor man? Dry cupping, hot poultices, muriate, tincture of iron (muriatic acid and iron filings dissolved), car- bonate, chlorate of ammonia, aconite, tartar emeticr foxglove, ipecacuanha, paregoric, opium and its- preparations, chloral hydrate, belladonna, colchi- cum, copabia, croton oil, quinine, turpentine, lead,, jalap, lobelia, mercury, eucalyptus, nitric acidr alum, pilocarpine, calabar bean, zinc, potash, thorn apple, strychnia, arsenic, hemlock, petroleum, in- dian hemp, and other drugs equally glorious — all 61 are ready to woo the serpent of thy life to rest, or to kill thee in the attempt. Truly, I would as soon face a regiment of the old guard of France, as the formidable drugs mention- ed. Never mind, its an ill wind that blows nobody good, especially registers of births and deaths. From HalVs Journal of Health. I have a positive cure for gonorrhoea in any stage. Deatli Rate, There are 30,000 regular Botanical Doctors in the United States. If Congress were to pass a law excluding them from practice and destroying their influence, the mortality would increase at least 40 per cent, and reduce the average length of the life of man below the average of twelve years. In other words, people could not say that their lives were their own. •62 Xiivex* Fills.

A most wonderful discovery in Botany and one of very great importance to the American people, especially in the southern states. I have a pill and tea which will prevent any case of yellow fever if used according to the directions, and they will cure nine out of ten cases in their first stage. I believe they will be made a perfect preventative and cure in all the yellow fever sec- tions of this country, whenever a party with money will put them in the market for that purpose. I sent a man from this city to Florida with them three years ago where he cured every case he could get. He even cured two cases after they were given up by their doctors. One was a servant of the health office in Tampa and one was a captain of a ship. In new cases we had no trouble. I can send these remedies by mail, postpaid, to any part of the country. Pills, price fifty cents per box. Tea, price fifty cents per box. 07 Cholera Infantum Powders. Will cure any case of Cholera Morbus, Cholera Infantum in man, woman or child. It is healthy, nutritious and strengthening, is purely botanical and can be used as food for children of any age with milk or water. They are a positive and infallible cure every time. We have used them in many thousand cases and have not lost one case yet and do not expect to. This is the most wonderful discovery yet made by mortal man. Over one hundred thousand chil- dren die annually from cholera infantum in the U. S., and not a single doctor has ever come to their relief with a sure cure, but they come to see them and give them one kind of medicine and the next time give some other kind and soon until the child is dead, without receiving any benefit whatever from the medical aid, but have been cheated out of their lives. One hundred thousand per annum! What a shame ! What a rebuke to the medical profession ! Can't cure cholera infantum, can't cure la grippe, cant cure kidney diseases. Can't cure anything ; if they will come to me I will teach
