Our primal mother is just and kind, but she has little use for the man who neglects her laws.

When a man earns his bread by the sweat of his brow she maintains him in good physical condition.

When he rides in a motor-car instead of walking she atrophies the muscles of his legs, hangs a weight of fat around his middle, and labels him "out of the running." If he persists in eating and not physically exerting himself, she finally concludes that he is cumbering the earth, and she takes him off with Bright's or diabetes.

It does not do him any good to tell her that he was too busy to walk and so had to ride, or that he had no time for exercising; she simply pushes him off to make way for a better man.
THE VICIOUS CIRCLE Nature has given man two ways (outside of the action of the bowels) of getting rid of impurities, one by means of the skin and the other by means of the kidneys.

It is like a motor-car with two cylinders.
