Advice 10 Comsslfaptivcs.

In some good advice to consump.
| tives, Dr.. Hall says:
Eat all you can digest, and exer
else great deal in the open air, to
convert what you eat into pure health
tul blood. Do not be afraid Of out
door air, day or night. Do not be
afraid Of sudden changes of weather;
let no change, hot or cold, keep you in
doors. If it is rainy weather, the
more need for your going out, because
you eat rs much ON II rainy day as up
on clear day, and if you exercise less
hat much more remains in the system
of what ought to be thro n off by ex
crcise, and some i'll result, some con.
se4uent symptom or i'll feeling is the

scarcely find consumptive man in a

1t is wonderful how afraid consump-
tive people are of fresh air, the very
thing that would cure them, the only
obstacle to q cure being that they do
