Show Avoid Patent Medicines. European visitors to New York remark re-mark that there are nearly -"-. drug stores as bakeries in this city, i and are at a loss to tell how many constitutions have been impaired, how many digestions ruined, how many complexions spoiled and how many purses emptied through medicine. Patent Pat-ent medicine is often the precursor of after misery, and the poor constitution constitu-tion has to pay dearly for its medicinal medi-cinal fillip. The wiser philosophy ' of the present day is gradually delivering us from these potent evils. Nature ha,s a self-righting power within her, there is a Hind of healine power in the physical frame. Treat the body kindly; kind-ly; let as much pure air as possible get to the lungs, and as much fresh water as possible be applied to the flesh, and a,s much healthy exercise as duty permits per-mits be given the muscles, and early rising as circumstances allow be afforded af-forded for the recruitment of the brain and then medicine will be a very avoidable avoid-able affair. |
