It was Joseph f'ooke who said‘ that "dissipated" meant "dizzy- pitted." which was his way of Pin-1 phasizing an important hygienic} truth. To weaken one's systoml through any form of dissipation is practically suicide. It is difficult enough to sustain good health with the best of care; yet many people keep very late hours. deny them- selves adequate rest. gorge them- selves with indigestible food, poison their systems with spirituous drinks and destroy their physical vitality through participation in all sortsor questionable amusements and ne- tual _viee. It one were anxious to prepare his system tor the germs of tuberculosis or consumption. it would be diiiit-ult tor him to select a more direct method.
