Advantages
of
a
Regular
Life.
The
advantages
to
be
derived
from
a
regular
mode
of
living,
with
a
view
to
the
preservation
of
health
and
life,
are
nowhere
better
exemplified
than
in
the
precepts
and
practice
of
Plutarch,
whose
rules
for
this
purpose
are
excellent;
and
by
observing
them
himself,
he
maintained
his
bodily
strength
and
mental
faculties
unimpaired
to
a
very
advanced
age.
Galen
is
a
still
stronger
proof
of
the
advantages
of
a
regular
plan,
by
means
of
which
he
is
said
to
have
reached
the
great
age
of
140
years,
without
having
ever
experienced
disease.
His
advice
to
the
readers
of
his
"Treatise
on
Health"
is
as
follows:
"I
beseech
all
persons
who
shall
read
this
work
not
to
degrade
themselves
to
a
level
with
the
brutes,
or
the
rabble,
by
gratifying
their
sloth,
or
by
eating
and
drinking
promiscuously
whatever
pleases
their
palates,
or
by
indulging
their
appetites
of
every
kind.
But
whether
they
understand
physic
or
not,
let
them
consult
their
reason,
and
observe
what
agrees,
and
what
does
not
agree
with
them,
that,
like
wise
men,
they
may
adhere
to
the
use
of
such
things
as
conduce
to
their
health,
and
forbear
everything
which,
by
their
own
experience,
they
find
to
do
them
hurt;
and
let
them
be
assured
that,
by
a
diligent
observation
and
practice
of
this
rule,
they
may
enjoy
a
good
share
of
health,
and
seldom
stand
in
need
of
physic
or
physicians."
