When You Feel Out of Sorts

Unless you keep your health up to the mark, you cannot hope to look your best Good health is more valuable than all the beauty treatments in the world.

know, from the life you have been leading, which you are suffering from.

Curious as it may seem, if you can manage it, it is often a cure for a liver attack to stay perfectly quietly in bed for a day or two, but in this instance a little fruit juice is all that is needed, while if you are suffering from exhaustion you should feed yourself carefully with light, nourishing food.
