237. The Cost of Health. In the physical as in the financial world,
nothing is to be had without a price. Vigor, endurance, and mental
alertness are bought by hygienic living; that is, by proper food,
fresh air, exercise, cleanliness, and reasonable hours. Some people
wish vigor, endurance, etc., but are unwilling to live the life which
will develop these qualities. Plenty of sleep, exercise, and simple
food all tend to lay the foundations of health. Many, however, are not
willing to take the care necessary for healthful living, because it
would force them to sacrifice some of the hours of pleasure. Sooner or
later, these pleasure-seekers begin to feel tired and worn, and some
of them turn to drugs and narcotics for artificial strength. At first
the drugs seem to restore the lost energy, and without harm; however,
the cost soon proves to be one of the highest Nature ever demands.
