Why we Laugh.
In his problems of Health, Dr Greene says that there is not the remotest corner or little inlet of the minute blood vessels of the human body that does not feel some wavelet from the convulsions occasioned by good hearty laughter. The life principle of the central man is shaken to the innermost depths, sending new tides of life and strength to the surface, thus materially tending to ensure good health to the persons who indulgft therein. When the man is laughing the blood moves more rapidly and conveys a different expres Bion to all the organs of the body as it visits them on its mystic journey. For this reason every good hearty laugh in which a person indulges tends to lengthen his life, conveying, as it does, new and distinct stimulus to the vital force.
