Here is a hygienic rule to which the writer
attaches great value, aud which has lately been
urged or the public in little volume by Catun,
tho celebrated Indian traveller. We will only say
of it, Important if true"
KEEP THE MOUTH CLOSED.
The author sincerely believes that by keeping the
mouth and teeth shut, person can sleep IN any nala
rous region, or ninge in any outdoor infection almost
with impunity.
This ia discovery Of such Importance that its mag
nitude can present scarcely he arpreheIded Had 1t
been praciiced earlier ii would probably have sayedn-

The writer of this, although of weak and delicate
constitution years since went from the North 10
some OF the most sickly portions OF the south ana

oers of swamps-by the sea and among the mountains
and while many Of the old acclimated settlers were
dying around him ESPECIALLY IN Norfolk, during tue
Yellow Fever he enIoyed his usual health; iact
which he attributes 10 temperance, and 6cePi"S Me

The rrin iple seems to be, that air, by passing
throup the delicate inner pands OF the nose becomes
purifed-as it were, strained Of Its noxioGs properties
and anim8lcul;e-and supplies the lungs with Ieaiihy
food willie with the mouth wide open, AL these I'M
purities go directly TO the lungs and work out 'ne
