HEALTH NOTES
AND MEDICINE

Health is of all possessions the
most valuable, and the law of
nature is the only master of i'll
health. hence it is of all laws
first to be rewarded as a means
of prevention of i'll health. Go to
bed early, rise early, and in the
meantime keep yourself occupied.
Water and bread sustain life,
but pure air and sunshine are in
dispensable.
Frugality and sobernest are the
best elixirs for long life life.
Cleanliness preserves no rust;
the best kept machines last long
est. Sufficiency best repairs and
strengthens. Too much rest weak
ems and makes one soft. He is
we'll clothed who keeps his body
sufficiently warm. Changes of
temperature of house that is
clean and cheerful make happy
home. The mind reposes and re-
sumes its edge by means of re-
Taxation and amusement. But ex-
cess opens the door of the pas
sion and these attract the vices,
gayeity conducts to love of life
and love of life is the half of
health: on the other hand, sad
ness and gloom helps on old age.
1t is your brain that feeds you.
Don't allow your arms and your
legs to become lassoed, dig for
livelihood, but don't do it to
burnish your interest and alien
ate your thoughts.
Medicine is God-given agen-
cy to aid in life's battle to con-
tinue its mission in providing the
Creator as very present helps to
his creatures; the entire earth is
really for man and beast, even
blrdr and creaping things of the
