LAUGH AND LIVE.

1t has been aptly said that there
is not the remotest corner of the
inlet of the minute blood vessels
OF the human body that does not
feel some wavelet from the con-
vulsions occasioned by good hearty
laughter. The life principle of the
central man is shaken to its inner
most depths, sending new tides of
lie and strength to the surface,
thus materially tending to insure
good health to the persons who in
dulge therein. The blood moves
more rapidly and conveys a differ
cnt impression to all the organs of
the body as it visits them on that
particular mystic journey when the
man is laughing from that convey
cd at other times. For this reason
every good, hearty laugh in which
a person INDUCES tends to lengthen
h s life, conveying as it does new
and distinct stimulus to the vital
forces.
