starved out by hygienic influences, will have their remedies or antidotes, and will be met with the same confidence as we now meet small-pox or lake fever. And if the time shall ever come and who does not look for a moral and physical regeneration of our race, for surely one cannot come without the other when the food best suited to a prolonged and uniform health shall be adopted, — the appetite not left to become gluttonous like that of the beasts, but kept under the conscientious control of reason and science, and the only drink that of Paradise, then there will be a progressive improvement in health, and life will be lengthened as certainly as it has been shortened by the sottish inventions of man; the human face no longer blotched and scarred from an empoisoned blood, but fresh and fair, and lit up by an eye sparkling in its hundredth year. On this subject, we are not left without a cheering note from the harp of prophecy: "There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die an hundred years old; ..... and they shall build houses and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; FOR AS THE DAYS OF A TREE ARE THE DAYS OF MY PEOPLE, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands."1

1 Isa. lxv. 20, 21, 22.
