If one were to form an opinion from the number of helpful, inspiring and informing articles one sees in the public press and magazines, the purpose of which is to in crease our efficiency, he must beligve that the entire American Nation is striving for such and end; And this 1s so. The American Man, because the race is swifter every day; competition is keener' and the stronger the man the greater his capacity to win. The stronger the man the stronger his will and brain, and the stronger his ability to match wits and win. The stronger his confidence in himself the great- er his confidence of other people in him; the keener his wit the clearer his brain. The American Woman because i she must be competent to rear and i manage the family and home, and take all the thought and responsibilities from the shoulder of the man whose present-day business burdens are ail that he can carry. Now what are you doing to secure that efficiency? Much mentally, some of us much physically, but what is the trouble? We are not really efficient more than half the time. Half the time blue and worried ? all the time nervous ? some of the time really incapaciated by illness. There is a reason for this ? a practical reason, one that has been known to physicians for quite a period and will be known to the entire World ere long. The reason is that the human system does not, and will not, rid itself of the waste which accumu laics unaer our present mode or living. No matter how regular we ! are, the food we eat and the sedentary lives we live (even though we do get some exercise) make It impossible; just as impossible as it is for the grate to a stove to rid itself of clinkers. And the waste does exactly what the clinkers do to the stove; make the fire burn low and Inefficiently , until enough clinkers have accumulated and then prevent it burn- ( ing at all. It has been our habit, afjpr this waste has reduced our efficiency about 75 per cent.t to drug ourselves, or after we have become ( 100 per cent, inefficient through ( illness, to still further attempt to rid ourselves of It In the same way ( ?by drugging. If a clock is not cleaned once in i a while it clogs up and stops; the j j same way with an engine, because | of the residue which it, itself, aci cumulates. To clean the clock you , | would not put acid on the parts, I though you could probably find one , j that would do the work, nor to ! clean the engine would you force ( a cleaner through it that would injure its parts; yet that is the process you employ when you drug ; the system to rid it of waste, j You would clean yooir clock and engine with a harmless cleanser \ max. Nature has provided, and you ( i can do exactly the same for your1 self as I will deniontsrate before ] conclude. The reason that a physician's J ! first step in illness is to purge the , system Is that no medicine can ^ take effect nor can the system . work properly while the colon . (large intestine) is clogged up. If the colon were not clogged up the chances are 10 to 1 that you would not have been ill at all. It mov tu I/O Or?m o ilrv.n * clogging process to reach the atage i where it produces real illness, but ' no matter how Vong It takes, while 1 it is going on the functions are not < working so as to keep us up to ' "concer pitch." Our lives are 1 sluggish, we are dull and heavy? 1 slight or severe headaches come < on ? our sleep does not rest us ?in short, wo are about SO per cent, efficient. ( And If this condition progresses -o where real illness develops It s Impossible to tell what form that llness will take, because: The blood is constaaitly olrculatng through the colon and taking ip by absorption the poisons in the waste which it contains, it distrib- * ites them throughout the system ,v md weakens it so that we are subiect to whatever disease is most prevalent. The nature of the illness depends >n our own little weaknesses and what we are least able to resist. These facts are all scientifically t has often surprised me that they ire not more generally known and tppreciaiea. All we have to do is jo consider the treatment that we have received In illness to realize Cully how it developed and the methods used to remove it. So you see that not only is accumulated wastdirectly and Mntantly pulling down our effisency, by making our blood poor^ind Dur intellect dull?our spirits low and our ambitions weak, but it is responsible through its weakening and Infecting processes for a list of illnesses that if catalogued here would seem almost unbelievable. It is the direct and immediate cause of thajt very expensive and dangerous complaint ? appendicitis. If we can successfully eliminate the waste all our functions work properly and in accord?there are 110 poisons being taken up by the blood, so it is pure and imparts strength to every part of the body instead of weakness ? there < is nothing to clog up the systm, and make us billious, dull amd nervously fearful. With everything working in perfect accord and without obstruction, our brains are clear, our entire human being is competent to respond quickly to every requirement, and we are 100 per cent efficient. Now this waste that I speak of cannot be thoroughly removed by drugs, but even if it could. the enect of these drugs on the functions is very unnatural, and if continued becomes a perodical necessity. , Note the opinion on drugging of ' two most eminent physicians. Prof. Alonzo Clark, M. D.t of the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons, says: "All of our curative agents are poisons, and as a consequence, every dose diminishes the patient's vitality. Prof. Joseph M. Smith, M. D., of the same school, says"All medicines which enter the circulation poison the blood in the same manner as do the poisons that produce disease." Now, the internal organism can be kept as sweet and pure and clean as the external and by the same method ? bathing. By the proper system water can be introduced so thiat the colon is perfectly cleansed and kept pure. There is no violence in this process ? it seems to be just as normal and natural as washing ,r one'8 hands. Physicians are talcing it up more widely and generally every day and it seems as though everyone should be informed thoroughly on a practice, which, though so ra nonal and simple, is revolutionary in its accomplishments. This is rather a delicate subject ^ to write of exhaustively in the pub- V lie press, but Chas. A. Tyrrell, M. D., has prepared an interesting A treatise on "Why Man of To-Day is Only 60 Per Cent. Efficient," which treats the subject very exbaustiveand which he will send without cost to anyone addressing him at 134 West 65th street. New York, and mentioning that they read this article in Hampton-Columbian Magazine. Personally I am enthusiastic on Internal Bathing because I have seen what it has done in illness as well as In health, and I believe that every person who wishes to keep in as near a perfect condition v as is humanly possible should at least be Informed on this subject; he will probably learn something about himself which he has never known through reading the little book to which I refer. HKR VOICE WINS MILLIONAIRE Wash lug t<?i HoOel Phone Operator Railroad Magnate's Bride. Washington, Sept. 26.?The voice of Miss Myrtle E. Bell, chief telephone operator at a hotel here, won y her a millionaire husband, W. B. JeBsup, Guatemalan railroad magnate, whom she married in Waldorf-Astoria In New York yesterday. Tfifc wedding followed a courtship of a year over the wLre, the suitor conducting a strictly telephone romance, with rare occasional clnnr?H at his Inamorata as she pushed plugs behind the hotel desk. The groom is past 50 years, while the bride is 30. The wedding is Mr. Jessup's second matrimonial splash. He confides in his son, who studies at Georgetown University here, and the bride's parents were also In on the secret, but the marriage had to be held in New 4 York. Mr. Jessup decided. During the trips between South America and the metropolis, the millionaire often stopped off at the hotel and the tones of Miss Bell's silvery voice floating up to his room from the desk acquired a strange attraction for the rail* road builder. Flowers, candy and postal cards followed In rapid sue- ^j| cession until the couple met last Thursday for the first time. Notice. All persons Indebted to the es- v Late of Joe M.
