HOW To BREATHE.

The action ofrespiration should never be
carried on through the mouth. God
breathed into mans nostrils the breath of
life. The correctness of the inspired writ
er of old is fully sustaintd by modern
physiology The mischievous habit of car
rying on the action Of respiration through
the mouth instead of through the nose, is
the real origin Of almost all the disease Of
the throat and lungs, and even consump-
ton ITSELF Medical writers tell us that the
excessive Precipitation to which some are
liable in their sleep, and which is so weaken
ing TO the system, is mainly the result of
sleeping with the mouth open. Whether
you walk, sit, read, or write or sleep keep
your mouth closed, except when engaged
10 conversation or necessary vocal reading.
The philosophy is this: TIE velocity of
the blood through the body, and the heat
Of the body itself, depends mainly upon the
quantity of atmosphere air taken into the
lungs. Nature measures that quantity BY
the nostrils, not bY the mouth. When the
mouth is employed the measure is too great;
but just sufficient when the nostrils are
used. Au excess Of air overheats the body
while its passage through the mouth other
wise injuriously affects the throat. The
habits of children, in this respect should be
carefully watched and regulated. Open
mouths produce vacant and unseemiugly
appearance. aud may be regarded as a very
sure precursor of habitual colds and sore
throats
