"The regular hours necessary to be observed by those who follow country business, are perhaps of more consequence than any of the other articles, however important those may be."
Business
"Mental agitations and eating cares are more injurious to health, and destructive of life, than is commonly imagined, and could their effects be collected, would make no inconsiderable figure in the bills of mortality."
