In the twelfth century not less than
fifteen epidemics of disease and many
famineS carried off the people of Eng
land. The thirteenth century saw
twenty plaques and nineteen famincs,
while the fourteenth had black rec
ord of disease. In 1913 the black
plague" or black DEATH which was
brought into the country from the
east. caused the death of 100000 per
sons in London alone. while in Europe
altogether 2J,O0O,0OO people fell vic
.ims to its ravageS. In 14SJ the
sweating sickness" appeared in Eng
and. causing great destruction of hu-
man life. 1t reappeared at various i'll
tervals for a century thereafter. The
last terrible visitation of the plague
in England was in l6G4-GG, by which
100000 lives were lost in London alone.
This epidemic was followed by the
reat fire of 1866, which destroyed iG,-
100 houses. including all the most
lensely populated portions of the city.
The rebuilding Of London with some
regard To sanitary laws appears 10
nave put the first check on the epidem-
lc diseases that had previously deyas-
tated its population.

Bed sores are sores that form on
those parts Of the body that are under
most in the position taken up by the
bed occupant As rule they never
form unless the sufferer is confined 10

most distressing. Whisky or brandy
used as lotion TO the healthy skin

yaIue of walking and Riding.

A brisk daily walk or ride on horse
back beats any more elaborate forms
Of physical exercise for sim@'ity com
bined with efficiency. In wa.Hlng, espe-
cIally if the ground is somewhat undu-
iating. a very large number Of muscles
are brought into natural and easy play,
sufficient. at any rate, to stimulate the
circulation, which in its turn compels
full expansion of the lungs and due
aeration Of the blood. The professional
or business man requires no more than
this to keep him fit for his duties, pro-
vided he follows the ordinary rules Of
health In respect OF bathing. eating,
drinking and clothing If he is afllict-
ed with a sluggish liver, Indigestion or
inactivity of the alimentary canal as a
whole, man may derive more benefit

really a curative form Of exercise
