Health Hints.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE WELL, AS WELL AS FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT VERY WELL.
Be abstemious.
Seek the sunlight.
Exercise regularly.
Breathe fresh air freely.
Keep the head cool and the feet warm.
Work is a good medicine for an uneasy mind.
Never begin a journey until breakfast has been eaten.
Alcohol retards digestion, and also renders it incomplete.
If you must borrow something, let that something be other than trouble.
A free use of lemon juice and sugar will almost invariably relieve a cough.
Always keep the back, especially between the shoulder blades, well covered; also keep the chest well protected.
If those who feel poorly in the spring—or at any other time of the year, in fact—would eat a lemon before breakfast every day for a week—with or without sugar, as they like—they would find it better than any medicine.—Good Housekeeping.
