1t is highly important that mankind Should observe

induces health-Irregularty produces disease. Most
people particularly about eating at regular hours
retiring to rest at regular hours-sing at regular
tme-and we should be equally particular about
dischargng. from the bowels, the feea and ac-mon-
Gus Aumors OF the body at regular hour-to empty
the bowels of their contents at a regular time. If
mankind would observe this great and dinportant duty,
and prepare their bowels to more regularity. they
would avoid much sickness. Railways Regulators i'll

Railways Regulators, move with all tie regularity of
