[THE
LOVELIEST
BIRD
HAS
NO
SONG.]
909.
Rules
for
the
Preservation
of
Health.
910.
Fresh
Air.
Pure
atmospheric
air
is
composed
of
nitrogen,
oxygen,
and
a
very
small
proportion
of
carbonic
acid
gas.
Air
once
breathed
has
lost
the
chief
part
of
its
oxygen,
and
acquired
a
proportionate
increase
of
carbonic
acid
gas.
Therefore,
health
requires
that
we
breathe
the
same
air
once
only.
911.
Diet
and
Exercise.
The
solid
part
of
our
Bodies
is
continually
wasting,
and
requires
to
be
repaired
by
fresh
substances.
Therefore,
food
which
is
to
repair
the
loss,
should
be
taken
with
due
regard
to
the
exercise
and
waste
of
the
body.
912.
Water.
The
fluid
part
of
our
bodies
also
wastes
constantly;
there
is
but
one
fluid
in
animals,
which
is
water.
Therefore,
water
only
is
necessary,
and
no
artifice
can
produce
a
better
drink.
913.
Proportion
of
Food
and
Drink.
The
fluid
of
our
bodies
is
to
the
solid
in
proportion
as
nine
to
one.
Therefore,
a
like
proportion
should
prevail
in
the
total
amount
of
food
taken.
914.
Sunshine.
Light
exercises
an
important
influence
upon
the
growth
and
vigour
of
animals
and
plants.
Therefore,
our
dwellings
should
freely
admit
the
solar
rays.
915.
Bad
Odours.
Decomposing
animal
and
vegetable
substances
yield
various
noxious
gases
which
enter
the
lungs
and
corrupt
the
blood.
Therefore,
all
impurities
should
be
kept
away
from
our
abodes,
and
every
precaution
be
observed
to
secure
a
pure
atmosphere.
916.
Warmth.
Warmth
is
essential
to
all
the
bodily
functions.
