Excerpt from For You: We Can if We Will, Destroy All Disease Germs, and So Be Rid of All Germ Disease

HE myths of ancient Greece and Rome from whose classic treasures orators, poets and artists have immortalized themselves possess a peculiar charm for most readers. Among these myths, some concerning cer tain goddesses worshipped by both Greek and Roman, though less well known, are very interesting. The ancients regarded the goddess Hygeia as the conserver of their health, but when she was not propitious - or they had been remiss,and so, in losing her favor, had lost health also they worshipped Hygeia's sister, Meditrina, believing in her power to restore them to vigor; and their faith was very much akin to being the substance of things hoped for.

It has been said, and is quite supposable, since history repeats itself, that these sisters,. Hygeia and Meditrina, daughters of lesculapius, disagreed, as often do their earthly sisters of to - day, and that then, as now, sisterly affection suffered its severest wrench in a love affair; then, too, as now, occasioning trouble in the family. The sis ters loved one and the same immortal, of whom - whether worthy or unworthy of the love of either - we find no rec ord of achievements distinguishing him from the minor gods of that day.
