Some Health Proverbs.

Here are some health proverbs which should be learned by everybody : — An open window is better than an open grave. Warm ro'nns have killed more people than evor fro/.e to death. If you let the child have measles when he is young, you may save a doctor's bill later on, but you may have to pay the undertaker now. Have an expert to examine the drains. It will cost less than a case of typhoid. If your milkman brings you warm milk make it hot for him. Wire screens in the window?; may keep crepe from the door. A fly in the milk often means a member of the family in the grave. If some people were as much afraid of flies as they are of bad water there would be less typhoid. When you see a child looking like an angel do not kiss it ; you may make a real angel of it. Scarlatina may not sound so dangerous as scarlet fever, but ask the undertaker.
