PALO ALTO, CaL., May 4 —Mrs. Helen Gardener deliv:red a lecture in the chapel this evening before a iarge audience. It was supplementary to the one recently delivered in San Francisco. Dr. Jordan introduced the speaker, who in substance spoke as follows: 1t has been well said by Herbert Spencer and more recently by Professor Osborn, the able biologist of Columbia College, that the question involved in the discussion of beredity is not & temporary issue and that its solution will affect all futur thought. Whether or not acquired charscter is trans- mitted to children i» the most important ques- tion that conironts the human race, for it is upon the character of the race that depends and will depend the condition of the race. No school of scientists quesiions the fact of heredity, but there is a warm and greatly misunderstood contest over the exact method used by nature in the transmission. Itdoes not matter whether druukenness, for ex- ample, is transmitted to your child directly as L’lmn drunkenness, or whether it descends o him as a merely weakened and undermined rmplasm’” which wiil lead to inebrity, in- anity, imbecility or whatnot. The soceologi- cal aspect of the question belongs 1o the There are hundreds of cases | which come under the eyeof the specialist where there is no escape irom the proof children are born with the taintof an ‘“ac- quired character” from which they cannot iree themselves. Mrs. Gurdener then discussed in a com- prehensive way heredity as affected by environment. “‘Although the kind of fruit is deter- mined at birth—if I may be permitted the form of speech—very much of the quality will depend upon the conditions under which it grew—the environment,” she concluded. .

A doctor will tell you that no one can live with a white liver. When the liver is at all disor- dered you are sure to have melan- choly fits and to wish to be alone. You will have all kinds of curi- ous fancies and peculiar feelings. If the disorder is only a functional one the liver is easily restored to its normal condition. If the dis- order has its origin in the abuse or dissipation of the man it is not so easily controlled. Very few family doctors pay much atten- tion to nervous troubles. As a result the man who is so afflicted will get no. comfort if he consults his family doctor. This being true, hundreds of men are com- pelled to try other cures. As a result the Hudvan remedy treat- ment has been tried by many thousands, and these thousands have been cured. Just 10,000 men say Hudyan cures. Do you believe them? You can see their statements in blac‘k and whie. It is a fact. Hudyan cures fail- ing manhood, nervous debility, neurasthenia and disorders of man called private. You should call on the Hudson doctors for information about the Hudyan remedy treatment or write for Circulars and Testimonials. HudsonYedical Institute Ellis, Stockton and Market Sts.
