Amount of Food.—The great majority

of the ills which affect us, says a writer

on hygiene, and the diseases from which

we suffer, causing us pain, and shortening

our lives are the fruits of the excess we

practice in eating. Gout, rheumatism, the

various kinds of indigestion and the many

known and recognized results of excessive

or disorderly feeding, are only the coarser

and more evident consequences of over-

feeding. Underlying these direct effect

of excess, and unnoticed by the victims of

error, are the multitudinous forms of or-

ganic disease and disturbance.

It is madness for a man to

starve himself to enrich his heir, and so

it turns

a friend into an enemy, for his joy at

your death will be proportion to what you

leave.—Seneca.
