He who has not seen in the imperfect growth, pale faces, distorted forms and painful nervousness of the American People,2 enough to justify any and all efforts to Elevate our physical tone, would not be awakened by words, written or spoken. Presuming that all who read this work are fully cognizant of the imperative need which calls it forth, I shall enter at once upon my task.
