So you talk of the importance of religion. No one disputes this, and it is your business to prove that the nostrum you peddle is religion. I say it is not. It is a system of will worship. Religion is obedience to God's law. You teach people that they can, and do, obey this law perfectly, while they do not know it. Your church has no bibles in her pews, few in her families, and these unread.
But he had a lingering favourable impression of the Warroo medicine-man, whose faith in the efficacy and painlessness of his nostrum was evident, however much was uncertain in his version of its provenance.

Well, every man has his nostrum." "I have not. My method is not my own, but Plato's."

But an House of Commons without power and without dignity, either in itself or in its members, is no House of Commons for the purposes of this Constitution.
You had better let me prescribe for you. You need," he added, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, "change of air, change of scene, and change of name." "Well, Doctor," said Iola, laughing, "that is the newest nostrum out. Had you not better apply for a patent?"
