quiet. He should abstain from business, and do as little thinking as possible. He should take a warm bath daily; and whenever he has severe headache, or feels distracted with restlessness, he should lie down, take a warm foot-bath, and have warm wet cloths-as warm as he can well bearapplied to the head. He will also find it greatly advantageous to adopt a very simple dietary. He should, for a week or two at least, live principally on good ripe fruits and plain bread; and even eat sparingly of these. All overloading of the stomach will occasion headache, and aggravate the general feeling of wretchedness. He should also exercise very moderately. These rules, adhered to for a few days, will emancipate the patient from one of the worst of slaveries that ever degraded human nature. But if weeks, or months, or years, were required, the victory would be worth all it cost. It is rare, however, when the plan I have briefly sketched is rigidly adhered to, that more than one or two weeks is required to redeem, regenerate, and disenthrall the most besotted devotee of tobacco. And in a few months thereafter he will look back upon his former condition, and upon the habit of tobaccousing with a loathing and abhorrence of which he now can have no conception; and probably would not again be thus besotted for all the wealth of this world. PROSPECTUS OF THE HEALTH REFORMER For 1876. A Monthly Journal Devoted to PHYSICAL, MENTAL, MORAL CULTURE. Thousands die every year through ignorant neglect of those laws which govern Physical, Mental, and Moral health. Hundreds of thousands suffer weeks and months from sickness, from the same cause. The Health Reformer for 1876 Will contain a great variety of practical information on general Health Questions, Food and Diet, How to Recover Health, etc. In addition, it will contain more or less of general literature, a Scientific and a News Department. The People's Department, including answers to correspondents, is a valuable feature. Hints for Farm and Household will be found of great practical value to thousands. Comparison of the reports of different publishers shows that the HEALTH Reformer has the largest circulation of any Health Journal published in America, and probably in the world.
