Advice in Brief.

As health is wealth, according to the average philosopher, and as every other paper in the land has had more or less 'to say on this important subject, we think it comes within the broad scope of Puck to have a little toot. In diffusing this knowledge broadcast over this great free land, it must be understood that these careful observations are not intended so much for the benefit lof the general practitioner as for the average man who doesn’t know how to itake care of himself: Never snore. Never begin a,dinner with pie. Never sleep in your overshoes. Never sleep on the floor in winter. Never ride a thin horse bare-back. Never walk fifteen miles after breakfast. Never carry a barrel of potatoes on your head. ? Never put your feet in the fire to warm them. Never swallow your food before you chew it. Never jump out of the window for a short cut. « Never drink more than you can carry comfortably. Never give a tramp your summer clothing in the winter. Never jump more than ten feet to catch a ferry-boat. Never go to sleep at night with all the windows open. Never leave the gas turned on when you retire at night.— Puck.
