THE NEW EARTH 



one of the world's greatest foes by means pro- 

 vided by nature and carried out by man. A 

 problem which has not only baffled the skill 

 of the world since man first came upon it, but 

 in whose solution fortunes have been sunk, 

 appears now to have been solved, as many 

 another problem has been solved, by the 

 simplest of factors; — the remedy has been at 

 hand all the centuries ; it has only needed 

 application.
