Health Best Medicine.
Pure Air.
Throughout the day. Sit and stand erect. And breathe deeply. Let this become a habit, and you will be saved from many ills. Remember at night to sleep in such a way that you are able to breathe pure air.
Sunlight.
This medicine is free and kills all kinds of dangerous germs. Let it come into your home. See that you bed is aired in bright sunshine. Sunshine is African greatest health asset.
Abstemiousness.
Too much of any good thing becomes dangerous. Stop eating before you become a glutton. Keep appetite under the control of reason. Even in married life. Temperance in all thing will be richly rewarded in mental, physical, and spiritual vitality.
Exercise.
Some hard work daily is a blessing. Especially fortunate and long-lived are those people who toil in the fields daily. Weak and sick in old age are those who sit in offices all day for years on end . without getting daily exercise. Do something daily to get up a good sweat. And remember useful and profitable labour is always the best kind of exercises. Playing ball may provide some exercise for health. But it will seldom provide any wealth.
The use of water.
Six to eight glasses of drinking water daily is good for most people all races. Water both inside and outside the body. Is a great cleansing agent. Some highly trained and skillful doctors use hot and cold water treatments successfully for treating fevers and other diseases. The wide use of water leaves no ill effects as does the use of drugs.
Trust in divine power.
People who have nothing wrong with their bodies can lie down and die. Simply because they have lost hope. Perhaps you have seen such a tragedy. Which is all too common in our African. To know that God is your Father, that he hears our prayers. That he want us to be well, that he has nothing against us. That our sins are all confessed and forgiven, to know that you are at peace with heaven and with your fellow men. What more wonderful agency can there be for healing?. The whole physical and nervous system of the human soul becomes invigorated with new life as the result of such trust in divine power. Fear that enemy of health. Is banishing from the mind and heart of him who trust in God.
These are the true remedies. And they are free. Yours for the taking by faith in the inspired word.
No need for a long, hard journey in an ambulance seeking for these, true remedies, no need to sit on cold benches outside a dispensary for hours.
