Epigrams on Health
An almanac containing information calculated to improve the health of Kansas people has been issued by the State Board of Health.
The first charge to the public is to "avoid patent medicines as you would a pestilence."
Here are a few epigrams about health contained in the book:
"An open window is better than an open grave."
"Warm rooms have killed more people than ever froze to death."
"A stiff drink makes the stomach warm but the skin cold."
"A mustard bath for the feet will do far more to ward off pneumonia than a gallon jug."
"A dirty well is more dangerous than a dirty kitchen."
"It takes time to boil a baby's bottle, but it saves sorrow and sleepless nights."
