142 HEALTIL 



-minds is the most efFoctual mode possible of 

 augmenting all the capabilities, all the pleas- 

 ^:h:e, all the virtue of this life, and ripening for 

 another, and hence should be the paramount 

 business of our whole lives. Health allows you 

 to be always on hand for business, from which 

 sickness takes you and compels you to entrust 

 its management to others, always disastrous, or 

 cuts off your wages if a laborer, creates large 

 doctors, nurses and a host of other incidental 

 bills, and occasions a great variety of pecuniary 

 losses. So measurably if any member of your 

 family is sick, especially a wife. How many, 

 reader, if they and their families had always 

 been well, would have been rich who are now 

 poor? Considered which ever way you will, to 

 preserve the health if it be good, and if poor 

 to regain and then preserve, should be the par- 

 amount business of life, should take precedence 

 over all others, and be our first great concern. 

 Come then readers one and all and let us make it 

 our.permaniBnt business to preserve and augment 

 our health; let us allow ourselves to do nothing 

 that shall impair it; let us make and take time 

 to do every thing in our power to invigorate it.
