long as pure water and pure water

OF sleep is taken at regular hours; ano
SO long as an adequate amount OF ex-
ercise both OF mind and body and no
more is taken, SO long as pure air ana
pure air is only is hreathed, so long
will the forces OF conservation hold the
field against the forces of destruction,
and no matter how deadly the latter
may be they will not be able to force
,he citadel OF life. But SO soon rs IN
any one particular these laws are neg
lected or contravened, the forces OF de-
struction will at once get the upper
hand and The mortality rates will be-
gin to swell.
