Seven Steps To Health, Happiness and Prosperity..

Live upstairs if you wish to be in good health! “Up” how many flights?” Only one flight of seven steps. I will describe them: First step—Eat wheat, oats, corn, fruits, beef, mutton, plainly cooked, in moderate quantity, and but two meals a day. Second step—Breathe good air day and night. Third step—Exercise freely in the open air. Fourth step—Retire early and rise early. Fifth step—Wear flannel next your skin every day of the year, and so dispose your dress that your limbs shall be kept warm. Bathe frequently. Sixth step—Live in the sunshine. Let your bedroom be one which receives a flood of light and spend yoiir days either out in the sunlight or in a room which is well lighted. Seventh step—Cultivate a cheerful temper. Seek the society of jolly people. Absolutely refuse to worry, and above all don’t be afraid to laugh. Live above. Sickness cannot crawl up there. Disease prowls about in the basement, rarely does it get “upstairs”.—Dr. F. G. Butler in Chicago Journal.
