HOW TO PROMOTE HEALTH.

AFTER all that has been stated of the effects of the atmosphere in high altitudes or at the level of the sea, the influence of forests and ocean, of sea-coasts and interior places, humidity and dryness, cold and heat, the winds, electricity, and ozone, and no matter what of other conditions, the paramount considerations for the promotion of health are an abundance of pure air and sunshine and outdoor exercise. Without these, no climate is promotive of health, or propitious for the cure of disease; and with them, it is safe to say, the human powers of accommodation are such that it is difficult to distinguish the peculiarities of any climate by their joint results on the health and longevity of its subjects.—Bell's Climatology.
