How to Ruin Your Health.
By Editor
THOSE of our readers who are trying to destroy what health they possess, and have not quite succeeded, will please take their choice of the following prescriptions:— 2. Eat late and hot suppers. 5. Instead of air, exercise, and wholesome food, take pills. 6. Try all the new quacks. 7. If they don't kill, quack yourself. 8. Wear unreasonable clothing. 9. Squeeze your chest with tight lacing. 10. Overeat, particularly if what is set before you is indigestible. 11. Fret at everybody and everything. 12. Load the stomach with tit-bits between meals. 13. Be late to church, the cars, and business, and then hurry to make up for lost time. 14. We should especially recommend lunch of strong coffee, mince pie, sausages, ice cream, candy, and nuts at night, just before retiring. 15. Have a dietetic hobby—no matter what—beef and tea, or roots and water, and be sure and discuss it at every meal with some one who don't agree with you. 16. If ill, sit in a dark room, refuse company, read doctors' books, study physiology, and count your pulse. 17. Ride a religious hobby; an exciting theory of unfulfilled prophecy would not come amiss. 18. Carry your business into the Sabbath. 19. Overwork, then raise your flagging energies by the use of alcoholic stimulants.
