realize its importance. 1t should begin
with youth. The care Of children IN school
IS of great Importance. 1t represents from
ten to twenty years of added life for
everyone. 1t represents a healthy, hearty
old age full of rational enjOyments, instead
of a peevish, weak and complaining one.
Proper eating IS the first consideration.
In the matter of longevity, people will
always differ Heredity IS a factor Of
prime influence. Some persons are
naturally strong, some naturally weak;
but as nearly all persons take from fifteen
to thirty years off their lives by over
indulgence, these added years are as much
within the reach of the weak as of the
strong. Alcohol cold, fatigue, these are
the three forces which enable the microbe
to co1onize. The avoidance Of them
means many added years for ali,
Such is the rational cure Of old age,
