Mtdlrnlou* Ka«l» Thai Pprluar From a Saxtlrrliif of Kn««rlril(r. A famous physician upon being ask*xl recently wbut Is the chief cause of ill, health replied: Thinking nnd talking •bout it all the time. This ceaseless introspection in which so many of the rising generation of nervous folk in dulge Is certainly wearing them out. When they are not worrying ns to whether they sleep too much or too lit tle they are fidgeting over the amount of food they take or the quantity of ex ercise necessary for health. In short, they never give themselves n moment's Iieuce. Our grandfathers did not con cern themselves with these questions. They ate, drank, slept, as nature prompted them. Undoubtedly they were healthier in mind and body for tlifiv sublime indifference, and if we nskid ourselves fewer questions we should hove less time in analyze or tin- iigiue ailments. That medical science hns made re markable progress in the last few dec ades cannot be denied. The fault for some present day undesirable conditions lies not with the doctor, but with the paficat. There lias been too great a tendency or. the part of the laity to a< - quire n smattering of medical knowl edge through the reading of so called "health” magazines nnd pamphlets and to put into practice on their own ac count that "little knowledge,” which, it cannot be denied, is a "dangerous tiling.” The following of some most ridiculous fads along the line* of eat ing. drinking, sleeping and exercise lias | assisted in swelling the mortality sta tistics. Our grandfathers would bold up their hands in horror Ht many of the foolish things we do in the name of "health.” A little more of the com fortable noni'halnnce of our healthy an cestors would do no harm to the rising genera t ion.—H ousekeeper.
