The generality Of people enjoy much
bestzr health during summer than in
winter. This is uacuestionzbly the rule
with those Of sedentary occupations who
are denied sufficient exercise. Probably
the principal reason Is that during the
warm season the skin Is much the most
aciirs. and sweating Is always more oz
less protuse Perhaps IL Is TOO much TO
say that those who do not sweat easily
and often cannot be healthy; but IL Ger
tefnly wosld be better for ail could they
by some nleans-the best is exercise
manage TO work themselves into a per
spiration every day
TEESTY-FiyE MILES OF DRAINAGE
Ii is roughly estimated that there are
.000. 900 pores ia the skin which open on
lis surface. They are very large part
Of the boIys sewerage system: and
some one with patient calculation has
reached the solution that these pores are
slaice gates for over iSenfy five miles
Of drainage- II is very evident thai
Z health largely depends upan the g,,od

diverted into other channels.
Other avenues - notably the bowels
and kidneys-ilave been provided by na-
ture for the discharge of waste from the

should be thrown OF through the skin
cannot be entirely diverted and sent ont
through other channels: much Of il must
remain locked up IN the system When
