To  all  young  persons,  to  students,  to  the  seden-
tary, and  to  invalids,  the  fullest  sleep  that  the  sys-
tem will  take,  without  artificial  means,  is  the  bahn
of  life  —  without  it  there  can  be  no  restoration  to
health  and  activity  again.  Never  wake  up  the  sick
or  infirm,  or  young  chOdren  of  a  morning  —  it  is  a
barbarity ;  let  them  wake  of  themselves.
124  DR.  hall's  maxims.
A  SCROFULOUS  person  should  eat  fresh  meats
largely,  and  bread,  and  fruits,  and  berries  of  every
description,  using  vegetables  sparingly.  In  short,
whatever  promotes  high  bodily  health,  promotes
the  eradication  of  a  scrofulous  taint ;  hence,  it  is
the  greatest  wisdom  on  the  part  of  those  who  are
scrofalous,  to  study  how  and  what  gives  to  them
the  greatest  general  good  health,  and  to  live  ac-
cordingly.
The  three  best  medicines  in  the  world  are
warmth,  abstinence,  and  repose.
A  GOOD  dinner,  with  an  entire  "  abandon "  of
thought,  renovates  and  renews  both  mind  and  body.
This  is  a  clear  proof  that  thought  produces  waste,
as  well  as  physical  exertion ;  it  also  shows  the  fal-
lacy, the  mischievous  fallacy,  of  a  certain  class  of
persons,  who  have  forced  themselves  on  the  public
as  their  teachers,  that  studojits  do  not  require  as
substantial  food  as  do  common  workmen.  If  great
thinkers  do  not  eat  and  digest  substantial  beef  and
bread,  they  will  soon  cease  to  shine  as  lights  in  the
world  of  mind.
I  LABOR  for  the  good  time  coming,  when  sickness
and  disease,  except  congenital,  or  from  accident,
will  be  regarded  as  the  result  of  ignorance  or  ani-
malism, and  will  degrade  the  individual,  in  the  esti
mation  of  the  good,  as  much  as  drunkenness  now
does.
