Prepare for Health.

The. great mechanism of the body With its vital centers is forgotten and neglected until pain comes to remind us of the danger ahead; then we will become excited and rush from* one point to another seeking aid and assistance from the physician or surgeon. We are willing to take countless drugs, to submit to an operation, in fact, anything that we may secure relief so that health may be restored and life prolonged. How about prepared-ness?-Had you exerted one-half of the interest years ago in preparing the body against the Invasion of the enemy, much of. this mental anxiety and bodily pain could have been avoided.—“ Preparedness Against Disease of the Body,” H.
