Excerpt from Hints and Remedies for the Treatment of Common Accidents and Diseases, and Rules of Simple Hygiene
I. Wash the whole body, once at least in every forty-eight hours, either with cold or slightly warmed water, and rub thoroughly dry with a very rough towel
II. Eat your food slowly and chew it well, and sit still at least ten minutes after every meal: so may you hope to preserve both your teeth and your digestion. Beware of drinking any very hot fluids: tea and coffee should stand till tolerably cool. After fatigue and long fasts hot fluids, only not too hot, are valuable, and a few mouthfuls, taken, in such cases, before beginning to eat, are very proper, especially for elderly people.
III. Turn all your clothes (particularly those which you wear next to your skin) inside out before you go to bed, and hang them up to air above the level of your head; but not in your bedroom.
If possible, have two suits of clothes, and wear them on alternate days, folding up carefully those not in use after they are aired.
IV. Be sure to secure fresh air in your bedroom during the night.
