HIsTs To MECHANICS AND WoRKMEN.-Ify you
wonId avoid the diseases which your partic.
ular trades and work are liable 10 produce,
attend 10 the following hin,s:-
Keep, il possible, regular hours; never sup
pose that you have done extra work, when
you sit up till midnight, and do not rise ill
eight OF nine in The morning.
Abstain from ardent spirits, cordials and
malt liquors. Let your drink be, like that Of
franklin, when he was printer-pure waien
Never use tobacco in ATTY form. By chew.
ing, smoking, or snuffing, you spend money
which would help 10 clobe you, or would en-.
able you, if single, to make useful present
to an aged mother OF dependent sisler; or,
if married, to buy your wife frock, or get
books for your children. You also, by any
of these filthy practices, injure your health,
bringing on head-ache, gnawing at the stom.
ach, low spirits, trembling of the limbs, and,
a, times, sleeplessness.
Be particular in preserving your skin clean,
by regular washing of your hands and face
and mouth, before each meal, and Of your
whole body at leas, once a week; and by
combing and brushing the hair daily.
Always have fresh air in The room In which
you work, but so that you shall not be in a
draft.
Take a short time in the morning, If pos
sible, and always in The evening or towards
sundown, for placing your body in analural
posture, by standing erect, and exercising
your ches, and limbs by walk where the
air is the purest.
II confined in doors, lie, your food consist,
in large proportion, of milk and bread, and
well boiled vegetables. Meat and fish ought
TO be used sparingly, and only at dinner
You are better without coffee, tea, or choco-
late. If You use any of them, it ought not to
be more than once In the day.
