It does not purport to be a treatise on medicine, but, on the contrary, it seeks, so far as possible, to avoid its use. Health, honor, wealth, pleasure, each stands ready to enter into our lives, if we are ready to pay the price. But in striving for wealth, we may be compelled to pay the price of our health; pleasure may come at our bidding, but honor may flee at his approach. Ignorance is the friend of vice, the companion of ill-health and misery. Our object is to awaken and enlighten men and women, and to create in them a desire to know themselves. ER -
