This is " n r hecaune they fell asleep with tmdigest ed food in the stomach and a portion of the organs had to remain awake to di gest this food, consequently the sleep was not as refreshing as it would have been had all of the organs rested and slept together, and especially is this true of the stomach. The stomach is in direct connection with the brain by means of the Preu mogattric nerve, therefore, when the stomach is actively at Work, the brain must of necessity he more or less dis turbed) it is for this reason that late suppers should not he indulged in. Statistics show that those who have tried the two meal system invariably find that they are much better able to endure severe protracted labor, either mental or physical, than when they were in the habit of eating three times per (lav. Till; kinds 01 XX)t) BEST adapted FOB MAN. Flesh meat is not as good for man as are vegetable substances, it contains no nutritient property that is to be ob tained from vegetable substances. Since the animal from which the flesh is obtained derives its nourishment from the vegetable kingdom, all flesh, whether human or brutal, contains more W less broken down tissues in a state of decomposition, and alter the animal hat been slaughtered putrifaction Speedily takes place. Flesh meat is said to be stimulating. 1 his is because it contains effete matter, the debris and worn out tisanes ,.i mJ body, which are regarded bv .., 1-,.,.. 1. . . . -j- -' poisonous. It prematurely worn out; and, 2nd the saliva is a digestive fluid, and without its aid the food cannot be perfectly di gested ; therefore, let. us all eat slowly and masticate our food well. Drink of any kind should not be taken while eating. Thirty minutes is little enough time to spend in eating ; a portion of this time should be spent in cheerful conversation on some pleasant subject, for there is nothing more promotive to good health than a cheerful mind. Hot drinks should be avoided at all times, as an incalculable amount of in jury is done to the teeth and stomach by their use. TEMPERATURE. Another important condition upon which good health is based, is the right degree of temperature. This must be maintained, otherwise health cannot long exist, for the proper circu lation of the blood depends almost wholly upon the maintenance of the proper degree of temperature in the body. In health, there is an equal develop ment of heat in all parts of the system, the limbs just as warm as other parts. If for my Cause the temneratnr nf the body either rises a few degrees above, or sinks a few degreea hplnw 080 Fab., the fluids become changed, the organs cease to perform their func tions, and death follows. This being the case, it is easy to understand the importance of keeping the warmth of the body as near a normal condition as possible. One very essential means of keeping the body in this condition is Mining once or twice a week, thereby replug ,ne skin clean and the oores ex- . it, n. . V 7 v.vn null me IS tile 111.
