"O, Blessed Health! thou art above all gold and treasure; 'tis thou who enlargest the soul, and openest all its powers to receive instruction and relish virtue. He that has thee has little more to wish for, and he that is so wretched as to want thee wants everything with thee."-Sterne. "The first wealth is health; sickness is poor spirited, and can not serve any one; it must husband its resources to live. But health or fullness answers its own ends and has to spare; runs over and inundates the neighborhood and creeks of other men's necessities."-Emerson. "A short life is not given us, but we ourselves make it so."-Seneca. "If we have ceased to be as healthy and strong as our ancestors, the fault is wholly in ourselves, not in nature."-Salzmann. "One of the burdens that bends the back of society is the sickness that does not need to exist."-Beecher. WM. J. LARMER, Printer, 15 Laight Street, New York. 120 121 Regimen of Health.....
