Short sleeves, low-necked dresses, thin stockings, thin shoes, aggravate the mischief, atllicting the sisterhood with manifold infirmities. Excessive heat and excessive cold should be avoided; they are very damaging. Exposure of a part of the body to cold disturbs the equilibrium of the vascular and nervous system. It is very bad to have the wind strike you through the crevice of a door, or any hole or crack.

Exercise in the cold strengthens the mucles. Changing dress from thick to thin, from long to short changing boots for shoes; even cutting the hair or beard, is often followed by serious consequeuces. Don't sleep in underclothes worn during the day. Wash the whole body, or use a flesh brush, every day; exercise at least three hours in the open air each day. Don't overwork; don't worry.
