Esta es una revista de salud de 1913. Tiene consejos de varios tipos, como el que transcribo abajo, y habla sobre todo de una dieta sana que era ligeramente diferente a lo que se considera sana en la actualidad. Por ejemplo, incluía mucho pan y manteca, desaconsejaba la verdura hervida y recomendaba tomar el agua caliente, muy caliente, en lugar de té, o cualquier otra infusión, consideradas dañinas. También tiene artículos sobre salud mental, incluso sobre educación, lecturas recomendables para los chicos (todavía no se había inventado la literatura infantil) y varias delicias por el estilo.

The Healthy Life, Vol. V, Nos. 24-28 by Various Authors

ON LEARNING TO BREATHE.[18]

[18] This is article has been specially written as a preface for Health Through Breathing, by Olga Lazarus, shortly to be published (1s. net).

To
breathe correctly and sufficiently is to live more healthily. This
dictum is incontrovertible, and it becomes my pleasant duty herein to
demonstrate its truthfulness. And, after a careful perusal of the
hundred exercises which the authoress has so clearly and succinctly
described, I am still more convinced of the very great, one might
almost say of the tremendous, importance of deep-breathing exercises.
What has struck me so forcibly in this little book is the fact that
there is no undue enthusiasm evident; no embellishment of the subject;
no extravagant claims for the system advocated; just a plain sane,
sober and intelligent description of procedures of immense value to all
who would either keep, or improve, their health. The authoress has, as
it were, laid before the reader a feast of good things in the way of
physical culture, and leaves it at that. She seems to have brought into
purview a splendid variation of the exercises, and indeed every mode of
breathing and exercise likely to be beneficial–to those in health as
out of it.
