The Vital Life Fluid

By Editor

A SUBSCRIBER has forwarded to us a copy of a newspaper in which appears an advertisement by a certain doctor who makes these claims: “I have discovered the marvelous secret of life, and I can make you live, for I can make you well, no matter what your sickness; I can make you strong and well, no matter how weak or crippled you are. With my Vital Life Fluid, the secret of which is known only to me, I cure every known ailment of the human flesh.” We are asked to make an answer to these claims. We can do so in a few words. They are utterly absurd, and should not be given the least credence. It is astonishing that there are enough people who will respond to such advertising as this so it pays the advertiser, but it must be so, or he would not pay for the space. It only shows the folly and the credulity of poor human nature, longing for life, but unwilling to accept it upon the only possible terms. “Ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” With God is the fountain of life, and from this source alone can the Vital Life Fluid be obtained.
