3S- Th~re are, knew. soae ed
epicures who insis;s that Il is r~qsisise
they should eat and drink grrss 5ral. il
order to k-ep up their natural h~se snd
strength ; aud that were they 70 Iced q
temperate life. il would be bat shoes ose,
but ! know that larg- quantities OF food
cannot BE- digested, especially by old and
feeble stomachs. --.--.
30. Old people should eat often, and in
small portions.
81. Others will say that sober lii. may
indeed keep man in health, bu: cannot
prolong life.
80. This know likewise to be false,
for l am myself living instance of il;
had l not followed the advice of my
friend DR.. Jcbb, but continued in my for
mer way Of living, l am sure l shonld
have been in the grave years ago.
33. Oh what difference have found
between regular and an irregular life;
one gives health and longevity, the other
diseases and untimely death. s.4-.-s,..,@s.e,
81. And it surely must be g,eat pleas.
ure to be sober man and reflect. that the
way be lives will keep him in good health,
and be productive OF no disease orimpuri-
ty. ''A
35. It Is impossible, in the common
nature Of things. that he who lives aregu-
lar and sober life should breed any sick
ness, or die an untimely death, before the
time at which it is impossible he should
live; but sooner he cannot die, as sober
life removes all the usual causes of sick9
ness, and sickness cannot happen without
a cause. .t.y... ...,.,,E,
sc. Health and sickness, life and death,
certainly depend on the bad qualities Of
the humors. Temperance corrects and
renders them perfect, having the natural
power of uniting and binding them togeth,
er, 30 as to render them ipsrperable and
incapable of alteration or fermentation
circumstances which engender cruel fever,
and end in death. q : 3" '-t- tef'
81. For myself, am even now, at the
age of ons hundred and seven, hearty and
happy, eating with a good appetite and
sleeping soundly.
38. MY senses arc likewise as good 40
ever they were. my understanding a. clear
ard bright as ever, my judgment is sound,
my memory tenacious, my spirits good,
and my voice (the first thing that gener-
ally fails us) strong and sonorous and
certainly these are true aud sure signs that
my humors are good, and cannot waste
but with time. .eogWs 1n Lsqw
80. I likewise enjoy the satisfaction Of
conversing with men Of bright parts and
superior understanding, from whom, even
at this advanced period, learn something.
40. What pleasure and comfort it ID
that, at my tims Of ifr. / should be able,
without the least fatigue, to study, ths
most important subjects noi is it pos
ssible that any one should grow tired Of
such delightful enioyments, which every
one else might enjoy by only leading the
life have led. t7d q aoalr N
Al. So that, to finish my discourse, ]
say. since length Of days abounds with %
many blessings. and happen to be one
who has arrived ut that state, it ia, l con.
ceivc, my bcunden duty to give Testimony
in Iavor oft, and solemnly assure al mau-
kind that really (even at this time Of
lif.) enjoy more happinrs than l can des-
cribe and that what have here stated
is solely to demonstrate the great advantar
gee derived from longevity that othes
may be induced te observe the delighnal
rules Of temperance and sobriety.
