Some Truths Contrary to the Belief of Our Ancestors.

Cold air is less dangerous than foul Fresh air and exercise are the only necessary stimulants. Stimulants leave the”system Tyefalet than they find it. Time spent in out-door exercise is not wasted. Ripe fruit is a better blood purifier than sulphur and molasses. Draughts are not as fatal as unventilated rooms. Catarrh is not caused by low temperature, but by bad air and unwholesome diet. Depriving children of healthful recreat on drives them to deceit and wrong doing. Time spent in an after-dinner nap is soon made up. Sleeping rooms need not be heated in cold weather. The sick-room that is kept hermetically sealed will not soon send out a convalescent. Night air is not noxious. A cold should be starved and sent out doors, instead of stuffed and steamed and put to bed. Sunshine may fade the carpet, but the absence of it fades the people. Good digestion is better than cosmetics for a poor complexion. —School Journal. —.
