The Essential Thugs Out of which
Flood IL Made.

Eiood IL Made.
These are the things out of which
blood Is made. II the food is nutri-
tious and properly cooked. II the air is
pure and full of oxygen. II the water
is clean AMI free from impurities, the
blood will be rich and red and full Of
vitality.
Barring physical accidents, there Is
no sickness except that depending Ill.
rectly upon Il want Of food or water
or air. sometimes all three. When any
one is sick the presumption is that lie
has been trying TO subslst IN poor
food or vitiated air or bad water, one
or more.
In order to have good food Il person
ought 10 have the first eating Of 1t.
Food that has been mussed owe and
left 10y one person Is not fit TO bc eaten
by another.
In order TO have good air Il person
ought 10 have the first breathing of it.
Air that has been hrcathcd by other
persons Is not lit TO breathe again.
Water should be fresh from some
spring or well. If hydrant water must
be used let it run Il bit. ms the house
pipes ARE apt to be of lead and not
iron like the pipes that convey the wa
ter through the city.
Food that is relishcd, air that cools
and invigoratcs. water that is quaffed
with eager thirst-these are the things
that make blood. Put fresh air into
the lungs, good food and pure water
into the stomach, and nature will do
the rest.-Aicdical Talk.
