Rules Of meaItI,.

Here 10 a list of healthful observances
most of which are we think, very good, aud
we would do we'll to attend to them better
than we are in the habit of doing generally:
| l. To eat when you do not feel like il is
brutal-ney, this is SANDER on the lower
animals they do not SO debase themselves.
| 2. Do not enter sick chamber on an
empty stomach, nor remain as watcher
or nurse until you feel almost exhausted,
nor sit between the patient and the fire,
nor in the direction OF current of air from
the patient toward yourself, nor eat or drink
anything after being in q sick room until
you have rinsed your mouth thoroughly.
g. Most grown persons are unable to
sleep soundly or refreshingly over seven
h ,urs in summer. and eight in winter any
attempt to force more sleep on the system
by nap in the daytime, or second nap
! in the morning, renders tho whole of the
sleep disturbed aud imperfect.
| A. Some Of the most painful stomache
aches are occasioned by Indigestion; this
generates wind, and hence distension. It is
often promptly remeded by kneading the
abdomen with the ball Of the hand, from
one side to another, from the lower edge Of
the ribs downward, because the dcculnp.
lated airis forced away.
5. When you return to your house from
long walk, or other exhaustive exercise,
20 to the fire or warm room, and do not re.
move single article of clothing until you
| have taken a cup or more Of some kind of
hot drink.
6. In going into colder atmosphere keep
| the mouth closed and walk with sufficient
rapidity to keep off feeling Of chillness.
! Two pair of thin stockings will keep
the feet warmer than one pair of a greater
thickness than both.
8. "The night sweats of disease comes
On toward daylightj their deathly olaminess
and coldness is greatly modified by sleep
ing in single, loose, long wooden shirt.
Q. The man or woman who drinks cup
of strong tea or coffee, or othor stimulant,
in order to aid in the better performance of
any work or duty, public or privatej is a
fool, because ii is to the body and brain an
expenditure of what is not yet got--it is
using power in advance, and this oIn never
he done, oven once, with impunity.
10. The less a man drinks of anything in
hot weather the better, for the niore we
drink tb more we want to drink, uutii even
ice water pals aud becomes of metallic
taste hence the longer you put OF drink
ing cold water on the morning Of hot day,
the better you will feel at night.
IL. Drinking largely at meals, even of
cold water or simple teas, is mere habit,
aud is always hurtInl. No one should drink
at any one meal more than quarter of a
pint OF any liduor, even OF cold water, for
it always fetards and interferes with a
hcaithful digestion.
-, II you sleep at all in the daytime it
will interfere with the soundness OF your
sleep at night much less il the nap be taken
ia the forenoon
49, A short nap in the daytime may be
necessary to some. Let it not exceed ten
minutes TO this end, sleep with the fore
head resting on chair back, or edge of
the table.
IA Never swallow an atom Of food willie
in passion, or il under anS great mental
excitement, whether of a depressing or
elevating character brutes wont do it.
