Remedy for Every Disease.

Every disease has its remedy, and in the search for that remedy hundreds of cults of medicines have sprung up. One man pins his faith in minute doses of powerful drugs; another walks barefoot over wet grass! another eats niw fruit and grain: one is confident that mad baths induce health, and still another urges Ufc to chew each mouthful of food at least thirty times before swallowing. No doubt every one of these cures is of benefit to some form of disease. The mistake of followers of the treatments is in thinking their particular remedy a cure-all for every malady. There are no universal remedies. Indeed, every type of disease must receive special attention and be treated after the fashion long experience and study have taught the medical profession is best a..,apted to the case. Certain ills respond quickly to drugs, the virtues of whioh are wonderfully effective; others need nothing but fresh air; atlll others a change of climate, and a variety of diseases need no drugs and no Journeys to the mountains but are best relieved by simple dieting. And just as the variety of the drug preparations is almost beyond the power of the maker to recall and is daily being Increased by the chemist in pharmacy, so a great variety of remedies has been brought out that cannot be considered as drugs, but which still possess singular curative properties..
