142 ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT BOARD OF HEALTH. ought to live 80 or 100 years. If so, then it is his duty to obey the laws of life and health, and any course of life that will induce disease and bring on premature death is unlawful and sinful. Health and long life are motives appealed to by the sacred writers. Solomon says : " The fear of the Lord prolongeth days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened." The Mosaic law everywhere enforces the laws of health. Christianity teaches us to honor God by honoring our bodies, and so keep them in this world, that in the world to come they may be bodies glorified, fit for glorified spirits. It enforces purity, cleanliness, temperance ; and as soon as these find entrance into the squalid and vicious houses, they begin to refine and start the inmates in a new line, which manifests itself without in results at which the sanitarian is aiming. To live through all the periods of life, to reach the highest point of organic energy, exhaust all man-forces, require rare physical, mental and moral combinations, with surroundings in perfect keeping with the organism, with the growth and habits in full and complete obedience to all the pertaining laws, and without any extraneous inferring causes. Healthy parentage, sound body, good food, pure air, clean water, the proper clothes to wear and houses to live in, together with " the love of God, as it is the sovereign remedy for all miseries, so in particular it effectually prevents the bodily disorders that the passions introduce by keeping the passions themselves within due bounds, and by the unspeakable joy and perfect calm serenity and tranquility it gives the mind, it becomes the most powerful of all the means of health and long life." How to live long and healthy is embraced by M. Revielle, of Paris, in four general rules of living : 1. How to live. 2. Know thyself 3. Arrange wisely the habits of life. 4. Combat disease in its beginning. Canarvo, an Italian of noble birth, noted alike for his learning and age, in early youth wandered from his father's house and prostituted himself till life was despaired of by himself and his physician. At the age of 25 he came to himself, and by a properly regulated life lived to be 100 years old. He gives this one universal rule : " Properly protected from excessive cold and heat, live soberly and temperately."
