BEAUTIFUL BEHAVIOR

July 4th, 2009

BEAUTIFUL BEHAVIOR.–Politeness has been described as the art of
showing, by external signs, the internal regard we have for others.
But one may be perfectly polite to another without necessarily paying
a special regard for him. Good manners are neither more nor less than
beautiful behavior. It has been well said that ‘a beautiful form is
better than a beautiful face, and a beautiful behavior is better
than a beautiful form; it gives a higher pleasure than statues or
pictures–it is the finest of the fine arts.’

SYMPTOMS

July 3rd, 2009

SYMPTOMS. The affection often comes on insidiously. There is soreness of
the throat, noticeable particularly when speaking, and immediately
thereafter; a ‘raw’ and constricted feeling, leading to frequent
attempts to clear the throat, in order to relieve the uneasy sensation.
The voice becomes altered, hoarse, and husky, and there is a slight,
peculiar cough, with but little expectoration. At first, the matter
expectorated is mucus, but as the disease advances, and ulceration
progresses, it becomes muco-purulent, perhaps lumpy, bloody, or is
almost wholly pure pus. The voice becomes more and more impaired, and is
finally lost. In the latter stages, it resembles consumption, being
attended with hectic fever, night-sweats, emaciation, cough, profuse
expectoration, and sometimes hemorrhage.

system
No language can adequately describe the beauty of the circulatory
system. The constant vital flow through the larger vessels, and the
incessant activity of those so minute that they are almost
imperceptible, fully illustrate the perfectness of the mechanism of the
human body, and the wisdom and goodness of Him who is its author.

be brought in accord with the germ theory? How can blood, exposed
to air, become septic through the dust the air contains?

does not want to live hygienically
The ordinary man, in ordinary good health, does not want or thinks he
does not want to live hygienically. He sees all sorts of imaginary
objections to adopting a hygienic life, and closes his eyes to its real
and great advantages. One of the objections often trumped up is that the
practise of hygiene costs too much–that it can only be a luxury of the
rich. It is quite true that here, as elsewhere in human life, wealth
confers great advantages. The death-rate among the rich is always less
than that among the poor. And yet the rich have unhygienic temptations
of their own, while the poor, on their part, are far from living up to
their opportunities.

I can safely say that any up and around adult will reduce on 1200
calories, for that will not supply the basal metabolism, i.e., the
body”s internal activities, such as the beating of the heart,
respiration, digestion, excretion, etc., and some of the body”s stored
fat will be called upon to supply the deficiency. How much one will
reduce depends on how many calories are actually needed for the internal
and the external activities. See pages 26 and 27. It is not advisable to
reduce too rapidly. See page 85.
