GENERAL. HEALTH HINTS 721 



All the medicines in creation are not worth a far- 

 thing to a man who is constantly and habitually vio- 

 lating the laws of his own nature. 



One may purify the blood more in a single day by 

 breathing pure air than by taking sarsaparilla or any 

 other blood-purifier for a year. 



Half the men and woinen who complain of sleep- 

 lessness, have done nothing to entitle them to the use 

 of "nature's sweet restorer." 



CoERECT habits of eating and drinking are of the 

 utmost importance if we would keep the body in a 

 state to serve us well. 



Never bathe when exhausted, or within three hours 

 after eating, unless the bath be confined to a very small 

 portion of the body. 



If the bath be a warm one, always conclude it with 

 an application of water a few degrees cooler than the 

 body temperature. 



Always let the light fall upon the object viewed, 

 from over the left shoulder, if possible ; it should never 

 come from in front. 



The nourishing quality of any food depends upon 

 its digestibility as much as upon its nutritive elements. 



For poor sleepers, a half hour's exercise, taken a 

 short time before retiring will often act like a soporific. 



Never use the eyes when they are tired or painful, 

 nor with an insufficient or dazzling light. Lamps 

 should be shaded. 



Tea and "temper" are so often found associated 

 as to afford good grounds for believing that they are 

 closely related. 



Sunshine is one of nature's most potent remedies. 

 It cures more diseases than the whole category of pat- 

 ent medicines. 



The simplest food is, as a rule, the most healthful.
