We see our little, ones swept from our midst, one here, two there; and four and five of one family stricken down with this dreadful diphtheria. Do we realize that there Is n cause, and also a remedy for these things? Does not common sense.tell us that' ''their little, bodies are charged with impurities, and their blood is thoroughly impregnated with poison, inherited from parents. It affects the little ones more readily Irian it does the .older ones. I do not address the ladies because I think the 'remedy is altogether with them; No! the gentlemen are more culpable; they take far more poison into their systems than the women do; I have heard of one or two women, who drink wine, etc., to excess, and it, may be that a few bid ladies smoke their pipes; but as for chewing tobacco (tho worst poison of all) there are no women whoindulge in the filthy practice. 7!rj Of course it is not our. province to teach the Elders their duty, b.ufe we ;can intercede with them; but if they will .persist in polluting their bodies with these nUtny poisons, the Lord may. deal with them in a way they DON'T MARRY A MAN TO SAVE HIM.
