“Exercises must be taken daily, he says, “but not to the point of exhaustion.
Daily bathing is also essential, and an adequate amount of sleep is more necessary than anywhere else. Intellectual pursuits should not be neglected, and alcohol should be taken in comparatively small amounts, I would not suggest more than a pint and a half of light lager a day.”
He adds that tea and coffee are excellent mild stimulants and restoratives in the tropics. ■ Miss Marion Hardacre, who was a member of the Melanesian Mission staff from 1904 until she retired in 1929, died early in September at Brisbane, Queens land.
