ment. A well person should never sleep
with an invalid if he desires to keep his health unimpaired, for the weak
will take from the strong, until the strong becomes the weak and the weak
the strong. Many a husband has died from a lingering disease which saved
his wife from an early grave. He took the disease from his wife because he
was the stronger, and she became better and he perished.

9. HUSBAND AND WIFE.--It is not always wise that husband and wife should
sleep together, nor that children--whose temperament does not
harmonize--should be compelled to sleep in the same bed. By the same law it
is wrong for the young to sleep with old persons. Some have slept in the
same bed with persons, when in the morning they have gotten up seemingly
more tired than when they went to bed. At other times with different
persons, they have lain awake two-thirds of the night in pleasant
conversation and have gotten up in the morning without scarcely realizing
that they had been to sleep at all, yet have felt perfectly rested and
refreshed.

10. MAGNETIC HEALING, OR WHAT HAS BEEN KNOWN AS THE LAYING ON OF HANDS.--A
nervous prostration is a negative condition beneath the natural, by the
laying on of hands a person in a good, healthy condition is capable of
communicating to the necessity of the weak. For the negative condition of
the patient will as naturally draw from the strong, as the loadstone draws
from the magnet, until both become equally charged. And as fevers are a
positive condition of the system "beyond the natural," the normal condition
of the healer will, by the laying on of the hands, absorb these positive
atoms, until the fever of the patient becomes reduced or cured. As a proof
of this the magnetic healer often finds himself or herself prostrated after
treating the weak; and excited or feverish after treating a feverish
patient.

How to Read Character.

HOW TO TELL DISPOSITION AND CHARACTER BY THE NOSE.

[Illustration: WELL MATED.]

1. LARGE NOSES.--Bonaparte chose large-nosed men for his generals, and the
opinion prevails that large noses indicate long heads and strong minds. Not
that great noses cause great minds, but that the motive or powerful
temperament cause both.

2. FLAT NOSES.--Flat noses indicate flatness of mind and character, by
indicating a poor, low organic structure.

3. BROAD NOSES.--Broad noses indicate large passageways to the lungs, and
