HOW TO RETAIN HEALTH.
If you wish to have health it is necessary you that should be regular in your habits, have a stated time for meals, eat sparingly of plain, nourishing food, and leave pastry alone ; abstain from ardent sqirits and tobacco, retire from the dinner table feeling a little hungry, bathe often, and exercise in the open air when you can, as breathing pure air gives life and strength ; retire to bed early, as a good night's rest gives the body a chance to recover the nervous wastes lost during the waking hours. There is no doubt but sleep is a prolonger of life, and is upheld in a recent medical work on the digestive organs and faculties. A long sleeper has a much better prospect of long life than a person who is satisfied with naps. It is well known that the great cause of our bodily ailments is repletion — that is, eating a larger quantity of food than is wanted to supply the necessaries of the system.
