Louis Cora no some hundreds ol" years ago wrote discourses on how to acquire and keep good health. The chief thing. accord ing to Corano, was to eat simple foods in moderation aud lead a temperate life. His theories are quite as good today as In his time. Cicero said. "Kat to live, not live to eat." William I'enn gave advice. "Always rise from the table with an appetite and you will never sit down without one " Overeating, rating with out regard to digestion. Is the cause of a large proportion of our sickness. Gluttony kills more men t ban the sword. "Who minds not his stomach will rikhi mind little else." IJKTH1 NK NKWS NOTES.
