The Art of Healing had its origin in ihe Woorls, and the Forest is still the best Medical School. The Author of our existence has provided certain outlets, or channels, viz., the Lungs, Skin, Bowels and Kidneys, through which all useless and corrupt wastes are expelled from the system. These are the natural drains of the body, and in order that the body continue in health, it is necessary that they keep open and discharge freely their allotted por- tions of impurity. But when, from eating improper food, indulging in too rich a diet or articles that are difficult to digest or gormandizing what in modera- tion would be proper and healthful food, the demand upon the digestive processes becomes excessive, too great for the body to meet; or. on the other hand, when, from overwork, dissipation or even the usual strain of an over busy life, exhaustion of the system supervenes, so that the digestive processes are per- verted, performing even the usual digestion in an erratic or uncontrolled way; under these varying conditions, normal digestion and absorption give way to processes of putrefaction and decay of food in the bowels and what is absorbed is no longer healthful and strengthening but poisonous to the body, both promoting other disease processes and themselves establishing conditions of disease commonly termed auto-intoxication. Moreover, under these conditions there is many times a tendency for the bowels to be inactive, to become clogged, thereby increasing the absorption of such material. If the channels of our mighty rivers should become choked up, would not the accumulated waters find new outlets, or the country be inundated? Just so with the human body. If the natural drains be- come closed the accumulated impurities are as- suredly more likely to occasion disorders elsewhere in the body. The Red Man of the Wilderness, reasoning from these simple facts, and guided only by the light Nature furnishes, gathered, from the ample products of hill and valley, certain roots and herbs, which possess those cleansing and purifying properties. By the use of these plants, he has helped keep his body drained from impurity; and health and vigor of f ime, together with length of days testify to the soundness of his simple and unsophisticated prac- tice. Nor has he made a secret of his skill, but freely communicated his knowledge and experience to those around him. And what was troe of the Indian of the Occident was also true of the Tndian of the Orient; each has discovered and used Nature's Remedies. It is from the brief, though valuable
