SENSIBLE ADVICE.—Prof. Sillman, of New Haven, recently closed a Smithsonian lecture by giving the following sensible advice to young men: “If you wish for a clear mind, strong muscles, quiet nerves, long life, and power prolonged in old age, avoid all drinks above water, shun tobacco, opium, and every thing else that disturbs the normal state of the system; rely upon nutritious food, and mild, diluted drinks, of which water is the base, and you will need nothing beyond these things, except rest, and due moral regulations of all your powers, to give you long, happy and useful lives, and a serene evening at the close.”
