FOB YOUR HEALTH’S SAKE

More About Bresthfof' A noted physician has said that only those who are too lazy to breathe have consumption. Medical men, too, are generally agreed that people who breathe full and deep—that is, uae lun ?» to their full capacity, seldom have this disease. It is also asserted that persons stricken with consumption and who begin at once to breathe as they should recover. Breathing, like eating, is a matter that each individual may control. In other wor*ds, it is left with each one of us to say just how much or little of life giving air shall be taken into the lungs and how much of the life and health destroying products shall be exhaled. For those who work indoors it is an excellent thing to take a few breathing exercises in the morning and then again at night before retiring. Be sure to throw open the windows in order that the air you take is good, fresh outdoor air, if possible, the morning exercises should be taken out of doors.
