~ "Langh and grow fat" is an old
adage. and Sterne tells us that every time
a man laughs he adds something To his
lie. An eccentric philosopher of the
last century used tn say that he liked not

Laughter is good for health: it is a pros

digestion. S%ydenham said the ar ival Of

ehrial to the health Of the inhabitants
than twenty asses loaded with medicine.
