How q Brain Worker Should 1.-Two

Rev. Edward Everett Halo writes
the following characteristic letter 10
the Herald of Health:
Bobu,y. iloss., May 10, 1885. DR., NJ.
Il. Holbrook;
DEAR SIR-Tho business Of health,
for literary man, seems to me TO de-
pend largely upon sleep. He should
have enough sleep and Sleep we'll. Hc
should avoid whatever injuries sleep.
This means that the BRAIN should |
not DO exalted or even worked hard for
q hours before bedtime. Young men
cen disregard this rule, and do; but ~ |
one grows older he finds it wiser to
throw his work upon the morning
hours. lf he can spend the AFTER
noon, or oven the evening, in thu opan
cir, his chances OF sleep arc better.
Tne evening occupation, according 10 |
me, should be light and pleasant, az
music, u novel, reading aloud, con
yeraati0p, tho theatre, or Watching tho |
stars from tho piazza. OF course, |
ditfernent men mako and need differ
cat rules take nlno hours Tor sleep |

in old rewspsper.deys, written for IL
| consecutive hours; but this IL only q
| tour do force, and In the long run you
wast strength, II you DO not hold,

erage.
