dare common errors with most young men and they gradually but at young first rot imperceptibly undermine the health an and lay the foundation for various forms of diseases in after life it is very difficult to make young persons comprehend this they frequently sit up up as late as twelve one or two 0 clock without experiencing an any ill effects they go without a meal toay today day and tomorrow to morrow eat to repletion wah ith only temporary inconvenience one night they will sleep three or four hours and the next nine or ten or one night in their eagerness to get away into some agreeable company they will take no food at all and the next perhaps will eat a hearty supper and go to bed upon it indeed nearly all the shattered constitutions with which too many ar are e cursed are the result of disregarding the plainest precept health in early lite an old lady died in london a few years ago the same medical man attended ner for 35 years she left him a legacy carefully packed in a certain huge box when this box was opened after her death the legacy of the medical attendant to whom she chad expressed herself as indebted for his bis skillful skill jul advice and excellent medicine which had bad kept her alive so long was found to contain all the bottles of aby physic ic which he had bad ever sent her unopened awes apples prof faraday says there is scarcely an article of vegetable toed food more widely useful and more universally liked than the apple why every farmer has not an apple or orchard shard where the trees will grow at all Is one of the mysteries let every family in autumn lay in from two to ten or more barrels and it will be to them the most economical investment in the whole range of culinary supplies A raw mellow apple is digested in an hour and and a half whilst boiled cabbage requires five hours the most healthful dessert that can be placed on the table is baked apple if taken freely at breakfast with coarse bread and butter without meat or flesh of any kind it has an admirable effect on the general system often removing constipation correcting acidities and cooling off febrile conditions more effectually than the most approved medicines if families coula be induced to substitute the apple sound ripe and luscious f for or the pies cakes candies and other sweetmeats sweet meats with which children are too often stuffed there would be a dimun kion on of doctors bills sufficient in a agle single year fear to lay up a stock of this delicious fruit emit for a seasons use row bow to drink milk mi afe muk milk should not be taken in draughts like water or other fluids which differ from it chemically if we consider the use of milk 1 in I i infancy each small mouthful is secured by effort and slowly presented to the gastric mucous surface for the primal digestive stages it is thus res reg gradually reduced to curd and the stomach is not oppressed with a lump of half balf coagulated milk the same principle should be regarded in the case of an adult milk should be slowly taken in III als at short intervals ter vals and thus it is rightly dealt with by the gastric luice juice if mild mill be taken without food it is almost sure to burden the stomach and cause discomfort and prolonged indigestion and this for the obvious reason that there is not sufficient digestive dip estive agency to dispose of it and the better the quality of the milk the more severe the ais discomfort comfort under those conditions catching cold many persons make a great mistake at the beginning of cold weather of shutting themselves them up indoors with hot stoves or f furnaces urn aces confining themselves to mold avoid ta taking ki ing cold this his is the most certain way to prepare onela onea self to acquire a cold upon the abe slightest provocation A aper son may maytie become come so ti tinder tender and susceptible by following such a plan that simply 0 opening ening the window for a breitha of fresh air stepp stepping Dg to the door to admit a friend or the most trivial degree of exposure will be sufficient to bring upon him the most severe effect of taking cold all persons particularly those who are sensitive to cold even invalids should at the beginning of winter r begin to accustom themselves to cold thus by degrees their susceptibility may be overcome in ija a very large measure if not wholly daily exercise tu lu the open air and a dally daily bath with f friction of the skin and injunctions ions with plenty of good not nel rich and greasy food and abundance of sleep are also important means of fortl ol 01 f ing the system against the ravages of cold health in farm homes one of the most precious of all our gifts is health and it is one of the advantages of a farmers life that his occupation is one which conduces to the of a sound body of course we may not entirely prevent the visitation tatton of disease but we can do a great deal toward that end and a careful observance of the laws of nature is far better than all the drugs and medicines that doctors can give the numerous quack no strums under the name of patent medicines which flood the market should especially be avoided A few simple rules if f care carefully all followed will prove a great beneat benefit toward warding off disease pure pare air is one of the essentials of health and it is this factor that makes lindzon lif life dZon on the farm so healthful but it must be confessed that many farm houses are built without the slightest regard to ventilation aud that in many instances no attention is paid to this important point vegetables are allowed to decompose in the cellars pools of muddy water are permitted to stand in the back yard and the drainage d rai from closets and vaults is neglected e until the condition of affairs become such that these evils can no longer be tolerated good food is another important requisite to perfect health too often the meals of the farmers family are a repetition of the same greasy articles of diet served over and over again this is a violation of the laws of health while the farmers board can not be supplied with the variety of a rich mans table it can and should have an abundance of good plain wholesome food including plenty of fruit there is no need to make swine meat the ata staple le article at every meal it is unwholesome pure water and proper clothing are matters also deserving of attention ioa sickness may often be justly attrib at tribu ut ed to the interior inferior quality of the water used for drinking and household purposes A point worthy of notice in connection connetti connect i in with the subject ot of clothing is that some of the highest medical authorities at home and mend the wearing of woolen clothing at all seasons of the year and it is well known that woolen garments are cooler than linen in summer as well as warmer in winter the last but by no means the least biml important octant point to which we wish to caly call attention is cleanliness much of the farm work seems incompatible with this but in reality it is not much difficulty to keep the body free from dust aud and dirt the only way to la frequent bathing the skin is full of minute e pores through which air is taken into the system just as it is int into 0 the lungs it if these little pores are all filled so perfectly as to exclude the air thesy the system stern is immediately deranged der angea and the person soon soon dies the primary office of these pores is to throw off waste matter mater from the sy system steib but if they are clogged with dirt they are unable to perform their functions and throw thit this waste matter back into the internal organs thus thu inviting sip sickness kness and death the observance ot of these simple points which we have here noted will prove of benefit bruedt not only to the farmer but to all persons 25 tracts on health topics for 10 acts books about tobacco strong drinks tea and coffee
