I\ATuns is very lunch like a shiftless child, who, the more he is, helped the more lie looks for it. The more medicine u man takes, the more he’ll have to take, whether it he anodyne, tunie, or alterative. The thinnest veil or silk' handkerchief thrown over the faco while riding; or walking against a cxdd wind, is a remarkably comfortable piolxction. Aever sit or stand with the wind blowing on’you for a single moment, for it speedily produces a chill, to be followed twill a fever, and then a bad cold. . A good laugh is anti-clvspcptic.
A hearty meal taken while.excessively fatigued has often destroyed life. A soar look, an impatient gesture, a cross word at the breakfast table, is GnonGfh to rnako the best food indigestible .and spoil the day. To spend two or three moments on rising -and retiring,-in rapid friction of the whole surface of. the,'.body.; with the' hand is a.more rational Treatment of the skin and a mor* health-promoting operation for most persons, than a. daily coldwater bath. 1 If von can’t got yovir wages, work for your board, rather than do nothing, or go in debt, or live on the earnings or charity of another.
