HEALTH AS A DUTY 



comes confused, trains of thought needing 

 repetition after repetition in order that you 

 may be sure of them. One reasons well only 

 when one digests well. Mental peristaltic 

 motion waits upon bodily peristaltic motion. 



Good animality is absolutely indispensa- 

 ble to sane thinking. Judgment is the 

 noblest and most important among mental 

 functions and it is notorious how dependent 

 it is on good bodily condition. How many 

 cranks are so because of lymphatic difficul- 

 ties! 



Health is needful not alone that we may 

 do with our might what our hands and 

 minds find to do, but also that we may ful- 

 fill all our functions with ease, smoothness 

 and grace. Next to vice and crime the 

 greatest curse afflicting humanity's lot is 

 men's crabbedness. How few efficient men 

 are courteous! People are seldom at the 

 same time frank and kind. Some are too 

 cowardly to tell you what they mean ; others 

 indeed, keep back nothing, but bellow or 

 bray to you instead of speaking.
