Use of Remedies

Walking is preferable to riding or driving, for it brings more of the
muscles into exercise. The lungs are forced into healthy action, since
it is impossible to walk briskly without inflating them.
Such exercise would in many cases be better for the health than
medicine. Physicians often advise their patients to take an ocean
voyage, to go to some mineral spring, or to visit different places for
change of climate, when in most cases if they would eat temperately,
and take cheerful, healthful exercise, they would recover health and
would save time and money.
