Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Catechism of Health: Or Plain and Simple Rules for the Preservation of the Health and Vigour of the Constitution From Infancy to Old Age
To teach the young to estimate correctly the value of health and the only means of securing it, independently of its in?uence in diminishing the amount of physical suffering, would aid, not a little, the cause of pure morality; for they would then learn that temperance, prudence and meekness, the subjugation of every inordinate appetite and vicious passion, is as essential for the enjoyment of health as of happiness.
