| little to teach you. To keep them in good
condition no gymnasium or gymnastic
| apparatus is required; still less any pep
| sin, pills or sarsaparil!a. You can do
| it all yourself without altering your do
nestle habits. or putting yourself to any
| inconvenience.
| Quite the contrary. But it is extraor-
binary the ingenuity some people show
when the choice is offered them between
| two things or courses, one healthy, the
other unhealthy, but both equally avail
| able or easy-the diaboical Certainty,
1 say, with which they fix upon that
which is unhealthy
Take the stomach first. How many OF
our average citizens can lay their hands
upon that noble organ and swear that
a week Il might as we'll say "a daN)
! passes in which they do not overload it
| with pie, pickles, candy, etc? And how
many gallons of strong-even greenfield
and hot coffee per annum do they
drench themselves with? As to mastica-
ton, regularity of meals, respect fer the
digestive processes, and so forth, | say
nothing. After we have cea sed 10 stuff
ourselves with trash that has no more
| nourishment in it than sawGust. and is
actually injurious in the bargain, we
may begin to consider these more e'e-
| waited subjects.
Abstain from such stuff entirely; never
drink anything hotter than blood heat
Eat butter sparingly, and cheese not at
| all; for breakfast and supper have b. cad
and milk oatmeal and eggs; for dinner
fresh meats and vegetables half a pint
of soup and a couple of spoonfu.s OF
light pudding. AS to drink, if you are
! y, ctx, 1rip TOY ho
ter is bad take mineral water. Every
FIVE or ten minutes stop and ask your
self whether you have not had enough.
| and if you think you can get along with
| what you have eaten do not take another
mouthful. Never try to tempt your
appetite; on the contrary, ask yourself
whether you could if necessary, make
meal on bread and water, and if the an
sWer is in the negative omit that meal
and see how you feel at the next, but
never eat between meals If you ate
only wholesome things you could live and
thrive on half the present bulk of your
food.
Starvation is the best cure for dys-
pepsia; pickme- ups only keep it alive.
After you have lived on reasonable food
for month or two you will no longer
be troubled with a squeamish appetite.
if any way practicable, you ought to
have at least half an hour in the open
air before sitting down to table; and at
any rate, wash your face and arms and
chest in cool water.
| Now for the skin. Ninety nine people
out of a hundred never think about their
skin, though the health of all their in
ternal organs depends upon it's condition
1t is no use washing your face and hands
and leaving the rest of your body un-
touched. Yau must clean every part of
your skin thoroughly once day. I am
no advocate Of discomfort in bathing
in cold water in cold room. and all such
nonsense Have the room warm and the
water only few degrees cooler. If. dur
ing the day, you get into Precipitation,
do not allow the moisture to dry in your
skin. Never come in from walk or a
horseback ride or a row and sit down as
you are. Go to your room, disrobe, and
rub yourself with a cocoanut fiber brush.
1t may seem inconvenient as first, but
when it is done you will rejoice, and
soon it will become matter of course
to you. If your undertaking is damp,
it is, Of course best to change it; but il
the skin has been brushed red you may
venture to resume the same clothes with
comparative impunity. This friction after
. exercise is OF great Importance: so much
so that it may be affirmed that three
!. fourths of the benefit Of any exercise
is lost without it. If you foresee that 1t
will be impossible after your exercise to
, take a rundown, then it will often be
. better to choose the rub-dow instead o.
the exercise, Always use two drains am
