Rese�a del editor

Speak write, saith the spirit. If one has anything to say for the betterment of his fellows, he should say it and say it, too, in good, solid, incisive A nglo-S axon. Here follows the warning the ruin and the remedy. You are well today, reader, are you? Yes. Not an ache nora pain? Not one. Your health is perfect? It certainly is, so far as I can judge. Then were you to keep your health up to this present high standard, your body would not die, would it? I do not see why it should. Neither do I. Think, consider again. Your body is now constituted of a certain ntunber of atoms, a certain ntunber of molecules and cells, a certain ntunber of bones, muscles, nerves, organs, fimctions; a certain quantity of acids, alkali, lime, phosphorous, silica, and many chemical constituents; and you are in perfect health? I am. Now, then, supposing that these organs, elements, and constituents were to remain in the same ratio of quality and quantity in your organism for years and ages, changing only for the better, if changing at all, you would not die, would you? I do not see why I should. Neither do I. But now do I hear some critic say that these atoms, particles, and cells necessarily wear out by use, or become impaired by friction? Yes, impaired or worn out to be replaced by others, and possibly by atoms and cells far more refined, and the better adapted to such higher expressions of life as would greatly tend to the immortality of mortality on earth.
