I will close by saying to you, use your own judgment, uninfluenced
by any prejudice that may have previously existed in your minds. Give
my advice a trial if you need it, and judge me and what I say by the
effects. I give you my word and hoor most solemnly, that all I have
told you is safe for the most delicate person to try, without the
slightest danger of producing any effect detrimental, either temporary
or permanent. A wise person will glean knowledge from whatever source
it may arise. The compass of the Indian is the moss on the north side
of the tree, which is knowledge from a natural sourace gleaned by the
wild untutored savage. I will close by saying, good education is the
only reliable means of lasting reforms, and that will teach people to
think for themselves, and that simple medical facts have been hidden
in the past by technical words, but to-day are told in common
English.
J. I. LIGHTHALL.
