Therefore,
an
equal
bodily
temperature
should
be
maintained
by
exercise,
by
clothing,
or
by
fire.
917.
Exercise
and
Clothing.
Exercise
warms,
invigorates
and
purifies
the
body;
clothing
preserves
the
warmth
the
body
generates;
fire
imparts
warmth
externally.
Therefore,
to
obtain
and
preserve
warmth,
exercise
and
clothing
are
preferable
to
fire.
918.
Ventilation.
Fire
consumes
the
Oxygen
of
the
air,
and
produces
noxious
gases.
Therefore,
the
air
is
less
pure
in
the
presence
of
candles,
gas,
or
coal
fire,
than
otherwise,
and
the
deterioration
should
be
repaired
by
increased
ventilation.

THE
LOVELIEST
WOMAN
MAY
LACK
VIRTUE.]
919.
Clean
Skin.
The
skin
is
a
highly-organized
membrane,
full
of
minute
pores,
cells,
bloodvessels,
and
nerves;
it
imbibes
moisture
or
throws
it
off,
according
to
the
state
of
the
atmosphere
and
the
temperature
of
the
body.
It
also
"breathes,"
as
do
the
lungs
(though
less
actively).
All
the
internal
organs
sympathize
with
the
skin.
Therefore,
it
should
be
repeatedly
cleansed.
920.
Over-Work.
Late
hours
and
anxious
pursuits
exhaust
the
nervous
system,
and
produce
disease
and
premature
death.
Therefore,
the
hours
of
labour
and
study
should
be
short.
921.
Body
and
Mind.
Mental
and
bodily
exercise
are
equally
essential
to
the
general
health
and
happiness.
Therefore,
labour
and
study
should
succeed
each
other.
922.
Over-Indulgence.
Man
will
live
most
healthily
upon
simple
solids
and
fluids,
of
which
a
sufficient
but
temperate
quantity
should
be
taken.
Therefore,
over
indulgence
in
strong
drinks,
tobacco,
snuff,
opium,
and
all
mere
indulgences,
should
be
avoided.
