of a full meal without drink. There

thorough mastication : ist the stom

Adulti "ho have been in the habit
of eating three ineaK a day, or of eat
ing late luppen, usually rise in the

mogeneous liquid, and thereby become

" 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

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.

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
