HEALTH REFORM.

By M. E. Cornell

I HAVE been waiting for a more convenient opportunity to write an article on the Health Reform; but I am no nearer to it than before; and, now, since so much has been said on the subject, more to the point than I could write, I am losing my burden somewhat. But I want all to know that I have adopted the Reform in full, and that my health has been gradually improving for months, even while engaged in wearing labor. I have obtained complete victory over the love of meats and unwholesome diet. I find no occasion for the third meal whatever. I can now sit down to a table spread with all the luxuries of the day, and use only the graham bread and water, and enjoy my meal with the keenest relish, better than for years before. No consideration could tempt me to return to my old habits.

I believe the Reform came up just in time to save me from becoming a complete wreck. Fourteen years of incessant labor, with all kinds of unhealthy diet, and but little attention to the laws of life had nearly used up a strong constitution. Now I hope to recover, by the blessing of God, and endure to the end. My whole being cries out, Praise God for the Health Reform. Let those who have adopted the the Reform, hold on. And I exhort all others to take hold of it in earnest. You will never regret it, and may the time soon come, when like Israel of old, there will not be one feeble one in all our tribes.
