false medical principles, or of mercenary quacl'.
The only remedy in existence that is both sure and

LIGHT SUPPERS.

One great secret of health, is light
supper, and yet it is a great self-denial,
when one is hungry and tired at the close
of the day, to eat little Or nothing. Let
such a one take leisurely single cup Of
tea and a piece Of cold bread, with butter,
and he will leave the table as pleased with
himself and all tie world, as if lie had
eaten heavy meal, and be ten fold the bet
Ter for it the next morning. Take any two
men under similar circumstances, strong,
hard working men, of twenty-five years;
let one take his bread and butter with cup
of tea, and the other a hearty meal of meat,
bread, and potatoes, and the ordinary et
celeras, as the last meal of the day, and
the tea-drinker will outlive the other by
three years.-Jour. of Health.
