not because their vital forces are ex-
hausted, but because they abuse their
powers, waste their energies, and break
down their constitutions.

long, while people who are robust but
rash, go down to early graves.

mences to tear down faster than she
builds up.

to do in throwing off the poisons and
impurities that result from this vast
| ing process.
