MORSE SINE CAUSA. "A man is either a fool or a physician at forty." That is, if persons of average health arrive ai ine discreet age of forty without having learned from that sage monitor, Com mon Sense, how to keep themselves well, they must, in one respect at least, be hopelessly foolish; and not all the physioians in the world can, without their own co-operation in the matter, secure health to them. The laws of health, happily, are becoming more and more a popular study; yet no candid and intelligent person can read the detail of fatal accidents in one single week's newspapers without feeling convinced that nine out of ten arise from ignorance or neglect of the laws of health, or from setting at defiance such good old adages as "Look before you leap," "Pre vention is better than cure" in other words, Common Prudence. "Disease Prevention Acts." "Sanitary Reforms, and such moral machinery, are set to work to root out epi demics: to eradicate diseases which find con genial soil in poverty and degradation; to preach on the excellent text, "A clean life and a trust in God are the best of all prophylac tics," and to show to the million to how great an extent their lives are under God in their own keepiDg. Thi3 paper, however, is not ad dressed to the poor and the ignorant, but to such intelligent readers as being neither fools nor forty, neither hypochondriacal, valetudi nary, nor learne 1 in drugs may become in a measure their own physicians, and be also the means of benefiting others within the sphere of their influence, whether epidemics be raging or not. Physiologists assure U3 that we can perform wonders in the art of prolonging life, not leav ing us ignorant of the means by which we should set to work; and though these things have been written about again and again, the experience of every day seems to justify a few more words, and especially with reference to early education. An inquiry into the nature of accidents by fire, poison, drowning, suffocation, etc., will satisfy any one that the majoiity of them prove fatal from the mere lack of presence of mind in persons at hand, or of a prompt ap plication of those simple remedies with which every one ought to be acquainted. Not insig nificant among life-preserving accomplish ments, therefore, is the cultivation of a philo sophical equanimity on the occurrence of start ling or sudden events. Young persons cannot be too early trained to Oris, and the formation of their judgment regarding remedies, perni cious agents, and their antidotes. Continually we meet with young girls who, on the occurrence of an accident, run hither and thither, wringing their hands and shaking with fear, when, had they their wits about them, they might, by affording instantaneous assistance, be the means of averting sufferings, perhaps even death itself. How many a woman has been burnt to death within the last few years because, on finding her dress Ignited, she has run terrified into the air, instead of rolling herself in a blanket or the first heavy woollen wrap she can seize. Un deniably this helpless fear is one of the "per- nicious agents" to be guarded against. Often. too often, is fear the origin of fits, idiotoy to the unborn, accidents innumerable, death itself. An instance of the latter occurred in the case of a lady who, when in a precarious state of health, saw a spider on the white curtain of her bed. It was one of those terrible animals, with a great hairy body as big as a plover's egg, or with legs like a young crab, sometimes to be seen in hot countries making the tour of your chamber-wall, and which really might like a taste of your blood, provided it found you in a defenseless state of repose. This was a harm less English spider; it did not bite the lady, or go near her, yet it killed her by merely being there. She had just become a mother, and on catching sight of the insect wa3 thrown into convulsions by an uuconquered terror of spiders. Death resulted. Two deaths ; for the motherless babe died too, and had an in quest been held on the bodies, the verdict on both could only have been, "Killed by a epider." Perhaps the hysterical screams of that poor lady's own mother or nurse had early implanted these ineradicable horrors in her breast, when she was a timid child. If so, what a solemn jverdict for that mother or nurse 1 And this is only one of many in stances where senseless fears have been visited by fatal results. "I5ut," the reader may protest, "there are natural antipathies which are wholly uncon querable," and a long list of facts will be pro duced. So there are; but they are few in com parison with those which early and judicious training will overcome, and to which we now more particularly refer. Irrespective of natu ral antipathies, then, you may daily meet with educated persons who are positively not ashamed to betray iear at me sigui oi a spiuer, a toad, or a mouse. Here, in much cultivated England, in this nineteenth century, when you cannot take a country walk without encountering a man in wild pursuit of some hue. or ramble along a shore where young England is not raking and poking among the rocks for queer-looking mollusks; when eo many households are familiar with collections of crawling ereatures alive or dead; when batrachiaus are among the domestic pets of our youngsters that there should still be intelligent women who shriek at a poor little spider, an earwig, or a cockroach ! "Why, are you afraid of a toad ?" I asked a lady only the other evening, on seeing her rush frantically across the road one. "0, 1 always was afraid of toads away from They are BO cold; they hop so." Cold-blooded, depraved young toads 1 Per- nicious creatures ? Why hop ye so ? "Good gracious 1" cried another lady, and a sensible one, too, in most respects, "I would rather be shut up in the Black Hole than be in a room with a rat," on hearing me say I had ouoe watched some half dozen perambulating my chamber abroad, before taking aim with walking-boots, bits of firewood, and other missiles, which I invariably piled on a chair by my bedside for that purpose. Not but what rats are sometimes savage and dangerous; and I confess that it was only after a week's experience had assured me that those rats had other aims in view than to molest me, that I took such calm survey of them. With all reBpect to my two lady friends, Buch fears date from the dark ages, when toads and spiders were fabulously invested with homicidal powers, when entomological societies and aquariums had no existence; and bad these fears no worse consequence than to make the terrified women appear ridiculous, we might laugh at them and leave them; but by teaching the rising generation to be as fool ish as themselves, these weak persons are deeply responsible for their foolish terrors. To each trilling injury positively attributable to a spider or an earwig, twenty serious inju ries, pimply through Jtar of them, could be enumerated. ...... , Therefore, by familiarizing weak aunts and sensitive sisters to the contemplation of "ugly bugs" and tame toads, and thus by aiding to overcome harmful antipathies, we may wel come our young naturalist as one agent in preserving and prolonging lifeA life, reu though it be at the sacrifice of a few THE DAILY EVENING TELKGR APTT "PTTTT, A other lives lower in the scale of creation. And u this somewhat extravagant recommendation 01 tne study of natural history will be Justilied by the case of the lady who died on seeing the spider. For, suppose such a nervous individual to be the mother of a large family, or the superintendent of a number of youug children, what a quaking little set she might soon convert them into by her con stant display of terrors; her exclamations of horror at a "horrid spider!" a "poisonous toadt" At the sacrifice of jackets and shoe leather, at the cost of glass cases and broken bowls, let our children always uu.ler judicious guidance and in moderation be encouraged to rake and poke among the sea wted, to scramble over hedges and ditches, to hunt out and treasure up whatever of the wonders of God's creation excites their curi osity, and subsequently, we will hope their reverence. This scrambling and chasing has the further advantage of developing muscle as well as mind, and of imparting to youthful limbs that agility and readiness which are only to be obtained through the cultivation of the corporeal powers. And though this may seem stale and trivial to write about, it is not every one, even in these days of gymnasiums, who looks upon running, tumbling, jumping, swimming, riding, walk ing on cliffs and narrow ledges, all ath let;c spoits, even danciug, as lite-preserving powers ; for they all impart properties which, by giving a more perfect control over the limbs, put us in a position to sustain little or no hurt in case of aocidents. Ethardo, Lion din, Leotard, and other acrobats, also the Zcuavcs in their wonderful military feats, are examples of what training may do. (The word discretion might claim some space here, were we not addressing intelligent readers who know what precise portion of valor that quality forms.) Practised with discretion, then, these accomplishments procure for us a sort of immunity from danger, so that happen what may, we shall figuratively speaking alight on all fours, like a cat. Buch an adept is puss in the above-mentioned feats, that she has obtained the credit of having nine lives. Her steed, from kittenhood, has been a rope line, a waving bough, or the topmost branch in a gale of wind. Puss must possess that faculty which phrenologists connect with the organ of vitativeness in conjunction with form, size, weight, comparison, etc; a faculty which enables us to recover, poise quickly, to dexterously convert a loss of footing into a leap, and so save ourselves from a fall. It is afaoultyto be acquired in youth, and the more it is cultivated the fewer will be the losses of life from casualties. : t f all the modern clubs, the swimming clubs, and of all the popular feats, the swim ming matches, are among the most useful and life-preserving. The art of swimming is one of the most important: yet in England it has been, till of late years, one of the most ne glected in education. We read that it wa3 as great a disgrace for a Roman youth to be unable to swim a3 for a Spartan youth to be a coward; yet in England we can scarcely take up a newspaper in which a death from drown ing is not recorded. Four school-boys in one day at Brighton, not long since; throe more in the north while I write this 1 and the recently published "Reports" informs us that in one year (1864) the number of persons accidentally drowned wa3 two thousand seven hundred and fourteen 1 The orean of vitativeness which we lust now accredited to puss, and which indicates the disposition to cling tenaciously to existence, does so phrenologists inform us by creating certain resistance to disease, contribute essentially to the preservation of life. Dr. Adam Clarke, Kant, and Schiller were ex amples of strong will in resisting disease; so were Dr. Andrew Combe and the Bronte family. And the lady who died at the sight of a spider was an instance of very feeble will in yielding to foolish fears. An example, in prooi oi tne power wnicu an intelligent man can acquire over his own frame, may be cited in tne case or an American clergyman, who, in a position of extraordinary danger, was truly said to have saved ins own lite. He had, on some special occasion, been in vited to preach at Lynchburg, in the hilly re gions of Virginia. After an evening service in mid-winter he was returning to his lodging, by way of a street which, to avoid a hill, was being excavated in the middle; leaving the houses and foot-path at a considerable eleva tion on either side. Upon this elevated pave ment the reverend gentleman was walking, and, unaware of the alteration in progress, was about to cross, when the street beiug ill lighted, and the night very dark he fell with violence over the deep cutting on the rocky, half-made road below, where he lay for a time completely stunned. Consciousness returning, he became aware that he was lying on his back, unable to move a limb, or draw a breath. Feeling himself on. the point of fainting, the horrible thought flashed upon him, that there he must lie and die, the road being impassable. Suspended respiration, whether caused by a violent concussion, or by drowning, can, we know, be sometimes restored. But to achieve this as the Royal Humane assistants can testify several persons set promptly to work, and place the insensible person in such a posi tion as to expand the chest, using friction and a variety of stimulants to set in motion the breathing apparatus. But here, In solitary plight, lay an injured and helpless man, whose only aids to recovery were intelligence and force of will; and, prompted by thet-e, he set himseir at once to work to rekindle the fur nace of life in the physical vestibule, the lungs. His first efforts to inspire were agony, but, after intense exertions, benumbed and stiff as he was, he drew a feeble breath, then another, and another, of gradually increasing power; each fresh inspiration invigorating ana encouraging him. Whilst engaged in these efforts he still lay motionless, but, having ac complished the breathing, he next endeavored to move, when he discovered that, besides being bruised, stiff, and sore, 0ie hip was so severely injured as to render him utterly inca pable of rising. He felt he was maimed for life, and the shock with which this idea forced itself upon him almost surpassed that with which he had reflected on the possibility of being left there to die alone on that dark win ter's night. With the prospect of lameness and deformity came ruined hopes, and he almost felt tempted to relinquish the struggle for a life so blighted. Conscientious reasoning, however, dictated the necessity for additional exertions. He must now endeavor to make himself heard by the few who might be passing above at that late hour. To utter a sound in his exhausted condition required another great effort, and it was only after many struggles practising his voice as it were that he Jnnnn7d to Droduce a faint noise in the throat. Husbanding his fast waning strength, he then waited, listening eagerly for an a p. proaching footstep. Wrhen, after a consider able interval, one was heard, and rescue seemed at hand, the moan he uttered was too feeble to attract attention. Conoeive the agony of mind of a man thus bruised, exhausted, be numbed, whose only hope of life lay in making himself heard afar off. And now the town seem ed hushed in 6leep, but tho air was laden wl'.h enow, which threatened to fall and oover him, ana He began to resign himself to the death which eeemed inevitable. Once more, how ever, persons were heard approaching, and he reoognized the voice of a chattering negress. The hope of being heard was slight, indeed, yet in a moment of silence our poor friend summoned all his feeble strength to cry. A slight grunt or groan only escaped him, but the woman heard it. "What's dalf" she ex claimed, stopping short. "Reckon 'tis a diunken man," said her companion; "come 'Ions;." "YYLar's he den?" argued the daughter of Eve. And another minute or two elapsed while this point was debated, the man urging the woman onward, being "soared," as he told her. With each effort the prostrate man gained courage, and, in a pause of the chatter ing, be summoued power to cry "Come here!" "Whar is ye f " asked the woman. "Down here hurtt" the poor gentleman managed to gaspingly ejaculate. One of the strange characteristics of negro nature is that of being terrified at the idea of an injured or a suffering person; and the man again urged the woman along, but her curi osity was unsatisfied, and while she delayed, the sufferer put forth another effort to cry, 'Come down, I'm hurt !" Then she prevailei on the man to help her down the cutting guided by the sufferer's moans. On fiu liu him, and so injured, lights and further aasist ance were procured, and the minister was car ried along the level to a house, and there laid upon the floor. A surgeon was sent for, who discovered that the hip was, by tho violence of the fall, forced into the socket in a very re markable mannor; and on ascertaining the spot where the accident occurred, he pro nounced it barely short of a miracle that the suflerer had not been killed, affirming that by using those extraordinary efforts to breathe, and so preserve consciousness, he had posi tively saved his own life. It is not all persons who, having studied the laws of health, and being duly impressed with their importance, are in a position to obey them as their judgment would dictate. In the preparation of their own food, or in the ventilation of their homes, they map be com pelled to defer to the prejudices of ignorant or arbitrary elders or superiors. Their occupa tions may be sedentary, or too prolonged to permit of sufficient recreative sleep or exercise. But the attempt to regu late their own health must not be re linquished for all that. There is always a bestthing to be done under any circumstances whatever; and a sensible person will con sider what that best thing may be. The seamstress at her sewing machine, for in stance, the student, or the writer, who sits bent forward, hour after hour, can, on a tem porary change of occupation, vary his atti tude by leaning well back in his chair, or by standiug erect with well-expanded chest, so as not to defraud his lungs of their comple ment of vital air one moment longer than is necessary. When, after long sitting, the cir culation becomes torpid and the brain weary, he can set his window open for a few minutes, even in mid-winter; and if a short brisk walk out of doors during the interval be impracti cable, let him go through a series of gymnas tics, or wrestle with imaginary burglars InJ his own sanctum, and he will not find his minutes thrown away. It is better for a person in health and of sedentary employ ments to walk in the rain, rather than not walk at all. "Blue-pill, madam t Stufl'-a-nonsense, madam. You can't want more blue-pill; take exercise, madam, not blue-pill," cried an honest doctor to a sluggish patient. "Take exercise. It's only lazy folks who want bo lunch blue-pill." Which reminds us of our old friend Abernethy, who, after listening to a long list of ailments detailed by the anxious mother or a languid uaugnter, growiea out as he put on his hat, and returned a shilling of the fee, "isuy her a snipping-rope. It has beenaptly said two-tniras ot aman s woes begin in his stomach." And perhaps two-thirds of those are curable by himself. To walk oil ill humors is something more than a moral feat; such moral ailments in most cases having root in the aotual physical ones. Lately, in London, Dr. Lankester held an inquest over the body of a gentleman who fell suddenly in Soho Square, and died in convul sive efforts to breathe. A post-mortem exami nation showed that the sudden death was caused by suffocation. Large masses of un masticated food were found in the lower part of tLe throat, closing the air passage. "Two or three pieces of meat were so large as to create surprise among the jury as to how the deceased could have possibly swallowed them. The contents of the stomach also displayed several pieces of equally astonishing size." The gentleman had dined off steak, pota toes, and water. A wholesome enough meal. But it had been very much hurried, and the stomach had previously been weak. Had the poor gentleman been in the habit of observing his own powers of digestion, or of studying the laws of health at all, he would have known that half or one-third of the quantity of food, properly masticated, would have afforded him twice the nourishment, without risking his life. And if only on the score of economy, this is worth thinking about in these days of cattle plague and high-priced provisions. What with fast eating and imperfect digestion, the question suggests itself How many per sons who consume three plentiful meals a day, derive as much nourishment from their food as it is capable of affording them r Is not this worth the consideration of the would-be philanthropist also? So now, hav ing proposed to myself, in the first place, the honor of addressing intelligent readers, and concluding that they are also benevolent readers, who will gladly combine two great advantages, I leave them to discover for themselves to what extent they can improve the physical condition of their fellow-creatures by watching more carefully over their own.
