instance: You
may be seized with _an idea_, or a passion, and it disturbs your _health
of body_; you may take indigestible food, or suffer injury or fatigue,
and it disturbs your _health of mind_.

But beyond and behind all else are all those seemingly occult and
sinister, pre-natal influences centered in hereditary and kindred
considerations which are still more significant and difficult to locate
and overcome.

These problems have been thought out and solved long before the dawn of
the present social awakening and the conclusions have been tabulated in
the closest detail from the first moment of embryonic life, faithfully
defining the paths that inevitably lead to the desired goal of Hygienic
Birth, of Physical Perfection and the Mental State termed Happiness, in
Infancy.

All these things will be found minutely focussed in picturesque relief,
in my previous work entitled: "Within the Bud."

ENDEMIC AND EPIDEMIC DISEASE.

Among the most deadly menaces that beset human life upon this planet are
those forms of disease classed under the head of so-called Endemic and
Epidemic disease and including in its baleful limits Yellow fever,
Cholera, Pellagra--otherwise known as Hook-worm, Plague and so-called
Spanish Influenza.

Based upon Physiological Chemistry and explained from the Biological
standpoint, the explanation of these covers a wide scientific area and
geographically treated embraces the globe.

The various problems of their cause and prevention have exercised the
mind of science and research to an enormous degree and heavy premiums
have been placed upon their solution, with more or less success and much
expenditure has been incurred in the examination of local conditions.

As far as this Continent is concerned, perhaps the most troublesome has
been Climatic Fever which varies greatly in form and intensity according
to temperature and location.

"Yellow Fever," as it is named, has swept some Southern localities from
time to time, but Science, Sanitation and Hygiene have curbed its
virulence and spread, as in the case of outbreaks of epidemics such as
small-pox--for the control of which, by the way, the advocates of the
vile and pernicious practice of vaccination, fraudulently claim the
credit, even in these advancing times, when the wiles of self interest
are disclosed, the worship of the "Putrid Calf" exposed and the days of
the vaccine vendor numbered.

Yellow Fever occurs on the Coast of tropical
