...long as a man can easily keep his internal body temperature at 98.6° he is comfortable. In illness he can develop a "low" temperature of 102° and suffer no appreciable harm. A prolonged ''high'' temperature of 105° is usually fatal. External temperature of 104° produces heat strokes if the individual's heat control system fails to operate efficiently. American Radiator Co., which has gone into temperature control scientifically, finds that a normal human being in good health can stand 157° with 15% humidity up to 45 minutes. Thereafter the man becomes irritable, restless and drowsy...

If we let cows come to our lawn, why not let the gentle pussy of the wood; why must we moderns always be so eager to destroy each sign of placid sanity in our hurried life? And why, oh, why, have we no thanks for the Gentle beast who thus...
Dinitrophenol has temporarily cast a shade over other reducing drugs and compounds. Hundreds of them are on the market, with widely varying formulas, but the facts about them are simple. Prime fact is that all are either harmful, worthless or both. Most are simply laxatives, for it is possible to reduce weight by hurrying food through the system before it can be properly digested.
