The Essential Thlnvs Out of Which

Blood I* Made.

Barring physical accidents, there jis no sickness except that depending directly upon a want of food or water or air, sometimes all three. When any one is sick the presumption is that he has been trying to subsist on pool food or vitiated air or bad water, one or more.

In order to have good food a person ought to have the first eating of it. Food that has been mussed over and left by one person is not fit to be eaten by another.

In order to have good. air a person ought to have the first breathing of it. Air that has been breathed by other persons is not fit to breathe again.

Water should be fresh : from some spring or well. ' If hydrant water must be used let it run a bit, as the house pipes are apt to be of lead and not Iron like the pipes that convey the water through the city.

Food that is relished, air that cools and invigorates, water that is quaffed with eager thirst— these are the things that make blood. Put fresh air into the lungs, good food and pure water Into the stomach, and nature will do the rest— Medical Talk.
