HEALTH TALK

LECTURE BY MADAME ALWYN.

Madame Alwyn, of Christchurch, last night gave a lecture to a large audience at Hie Dominion Farmers' Institute Conference Hall. Her subject was “The Body Beautiful." Madame Alwyn showed that if one is not in good health it is because insufficient attention has been paid to the common laws of life. People to-day, said the lecturer, let their emotions run away with them. Emotion should be under the will, and when that was accomplished, a step had been made towards the subjection of the nerves. That was the beginning of good health and enjoyment of health. Aladame Alwyn dealt with further subjects, such as the lightening of diet (which was too ample for the average human being, she said). “Is it not good,” she asked, "to meet someone in the street who has been glad to see you, and whom you have been glad to encounter? That is what we are all looking for, and to achieve that and to obtain the full enjoyment of life we must bo in the best of health, and. consequently in tho best of spirits.” Tho lecturer spent some time on the subject of goitre nnd its natural, cure. She condemned iodised salt when it was compared with the natural sea salts to be absorbed in n common glassful of sea-water occasionally. Many questions were answered to tho satisfaction of the inquirers.
