Show Where Man's Influence Is Fatal. Man is tho only animal which is always al-ways accompanied by diseases, except those creatures that aro his compan-ions compan-ions nnd share his pr -onage. Thero is reason to believe that the denizens of tho forests, tho veld, tho rivers and l tho ocean, so far as they escape man's 'c ' influence, live, with hardly an excep- 7 tion, healthy lives. Chronic ailments t begin with man's protection in tho dairy, stable and kennel. Man has created artificial conditions with which the "tuousand ills that flesh is heir to" aro associated. If tho human family dwelt in ventilated houses, breathed puro air, lived temperately, with little or no alcohol, and took daily exerciso in tho open it would perhaps know little more of gout, rheumatism, cancer, fever, lumbago, dyspepsia, asthma and tho host of infectious in-fectious troubles than do the lower animals. an-imals.
