Things You Should Know

New Year Resolutions
Most people lirgit their "swear
, ing off" at the first of the year, to
tobacco, whisky and lying. How
faithfully wc observe our new
pledges, must be left to history to
reveal. But, the effort is worthy
always.
Much more pertinent, it seems to
me, would be to assume some sol
emn obligations with regard to our
habits of eating, since everybody
eats ? and many dine to their sor
row. I would like to impress a few
ideas that I have tried to empha
size with the readers of our paper
for the past four years ? and, I as-'
sure you, that they are based on'
years of experience, both within:
myself, and many patients; I am
sure these thoughts are worth
while: '?
First, let uS pledge ourselves that
we will not over-eat during the
coming year.
Second, we will look out for the
symptoms of over-diet, such as
i fullness, sour stomach, nausea, gas,;
I "heart-burn," and bringing up par
tides of food after meals; if sach
should occur, we promise to at
once think of the cause, and matce
no more mistakes of that kind.
Third, let us very firmly decide,
not to eat dinner at six o'clock; the
hour when the body should begin'
its most important season of rest.
Fourth, that we will begin each
day's work with a body fortified by
a tfood, intelligent breakfast, taken
deliberately, at an hour when haste
is entirely unnecessary.
Fifth, wc will try to learn of the
wcll-balanccd meal, and temperate-,
ly adhere thereto, knowing the.
need of food in wholesome variety,'
to satisfy the requirements of our
bodies only. "
