WILL HEALTH REIGN IN A DISEASED BODY?
WISDOM TREADS NO PATH WITH FOLLEY.
The MIND is all there is! It feels, knows, moves, acts,
thinks, and sees.
The mind has supreme control of the body in sickness and in health. See the Rulings of Nature.
Habit is harder to serve than a king, its taxes are greater, they not only come yearly, but daily and hourly, on body mind and pocket. You are bound in her chains and must answer her calls.
The RULINGS OF NATURE we'll send you.
We'll give you the work of the brain.
Cast the glory of heaven about you,
And arise for your Works are inane,
You are dead said the scoffs of the stranger;
A laugh for the cynic and clown.
Go look; from the King to the granger,
See the slaves the Tobacco-leaf bound.

O'er the graves we have marched in the past time,
Still praying for dews of reform
While raining down showers of poison,
On those we should keep from its harm.

"Strive; for the grasp of the destroyer is upon you, and if you be not wrenched away, it will palsy you and crush you. Strive for the foe has seized upon your vitals: he holds possession of your Fort and renders your will a thing to be controled instead of a controling power. It chains the intellect and bids defiance to your better judgment. Strive like one who knows he has grappled with Death and the victory must be won or self be lost!"
TOBACCO should never be mentioned except as a poison, one of the most active and fatal of poisons; it is the only herb known to possess two active deadly poisons, Nicotina and Nicotianin: It is really so fatal that doctors seldom administer it, and never internally. For an over dose of Opium, Arsenic, or Strychnine, when taken in time, there is a cure, but for an over dose of tobacco there is none; its effect on the system is Paleness, Nausea, Giddiness, Lessening of the heart's action,
