The Hector and the Doctor.— Lord Bacon tells a rector m danger of losing his cure, saying, " Well, if I do, I shall kill seventy men." When asked why, he said that he would begin to practice physic. This is from the preface to " Health : The New Method," as edited by W. Corrie Johnson 160, Tuam street, Christchurch. Dr Forest, a well-known physician, teaches how much can be done at homo without drugs. His books contains other important principles besides the Health Secret, sold m small pamphlets at lour dollars to over 200,000 people, with a pledge of secrecy. The Rev T. Norris writes: —"'The New Method' came to hand, and compared with it, the Hall Treatment is nowhere. 1 am persuaded that a knowledge of what this book con tains would 3ave many from untold misery and burdensome expense." For less than two consultation fees the book will give odvice for lifetime. A circular may be obtained or copy seen by sending post card.
