WOULD YOU LIVE LONG.

A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE TO KEEP

HEALTHY AND HAPPY.

We are all becoming younger; that is to say the human race is. Years are counting less and less as science and nygiene gain ground.

An eminent physician, lecturing on longevity, has given such excellent rules for self-preservation that every one should possess them. They are eight hours' sleep, sleep on your right side, keep your bedroom window open all night, have a mat to your bedroom door, do not have your bedstead against the wall, no cold tub in the morning, but a bath tit the temperature of the body; exercise before breakfast, eat little meat, and see that it is well cooked.

For adults—drink no milk, eat plenty of fat to feed the cells which are attacked by disease germs; avoid intoxicants, which destroy those cells; allow no pet animals about your living rooms (they are apt to carry disease); live in the country if you can; watch the three D.'s, drinking water, damp and drains; make changes of occupation, take frequent and short holidays, limit your ambition, and

keep your temper
