Eat neither very hot nor cold food.
The best temperature is about that OF
the body. Avoid exposure to cold after
eating.
"A great many persons, especially
women, are hurt by too much bathing.
The temperature of the water to be used
should be that of water that has stood
in ones bed room.
BE careful to avoid excess in eating.
Eat no more than the wants of the sys-
tenn require. Sometimes less than Is
really needed must be taken when dl-
gestion is very weak. Strength depends
not on what is eaten, but on what is dl-
gested.
Exercise before partaking OF meal
stimulates the circulation of the blood
and facilitates theft ow of blood through
the vessels. A glass of water washes
out the mucus, partially distends the
stomach, wakes up peristalsis, and pre-
pares the alimentary canal for the
morning meal.
Every one is occasionally wakeful, on
account of becoming more or less excited

cases, those measures are generally et-

relieve the brain. All know the sooth-
ing effects of music, and even of monot.
onous sounds, such as are made by the
wind.
Pare and slice raw potatoes rather
thin. Take of butter, or lard, or good

one physician who was interviewed sale
