M.

Some ten days ago symptoms of lockjiw made their appearance and from that timo be graw worse until last Thursday about ten o'clock iu the day ho died. To add to tho terrible affliction, diphtheria broke out among* iho children, (tiicro were three ot them) and just six hours after the father had breathed his last, Wulte.i. a bright little lelluv» of some three y«ar6, gavo up hi® young lite and followed his father across Ihe dark river.

TUB ART or PKOI.ONGINO UFB. People generally desire long life and good health. &ickn?#s and premature death are almost always due to ihe vio>> I alio 11 of tli 3 laws that govern onr phlsical being, and of which the nnissos arc ignoranr, If men knew better they would do better; but how can they avoid evil 1 l|ev know not ot? While etlorts arc made through the public schools to give each child a so-called common English education, yet the children are permitted to grow tip and enter upon the respQiisiblo duties of itciivo life proloundly ignorant of tbe structures of their own bodies. and the laws of ph)«eal being upon which their health and lives depends. They were sent to school and crammed with trilhinalic. grammar and geography, y teachers Who, in many instances, have never studied physiology and hygiene. They are (aught to locate the mountains and trace the rivers of foreign countries, but are never taught to locate "the vital organs and glands of their own bodie«, or trace the veins, arteries, and nerves, in their virions ramifications. They are iimtrncted in the flow ot the tides, and the course of the ot the oceans currents, and the philosophy of winds and storms; but they have no correct conception of the relative efiect upon their health of breathing pnrc and im pure air, nor has their attention ever been called to the importance of keeping their bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing. The criminality of such negs lect in leaching becomes apparent when wo consider that the masses iguoianjly violating the laws ot health, bring upon themselves sickness, suflering and death that might otherwise be avoided. In this condition of things we welcome into being any work that is calculated to impart to the masses a knowledge of tbe structure of their own bodios,. the law of health, and tho importance of observe fug those laws. \Vc find Dr. Pierce's Com mon Sense Medical Adviser to be jun such a work. It is physiological and path ological, and Ihe tu:ijrr part of it should bo converted into a text-book for the use ot common schools. Its care full study will enable the healthy to nrpsorvo (heir b)a (band the sickly to r gain their health. Every parent should rcuu u ami as their children become of proper age instruct them in tho nil-important truths it contains. Were this done, much suffer ing and premature death would be prevented ami many a youth saved fro.a a life of shame and licentiousness.
