Are New Year’s resolutions healthier than medicines?
CURE Quote
Cheerfulness should be cultivated by every one. It is an antidote for many ills; and a laugh is of immense value, physiologically. It produces an electric effect throughout the whole system. It is felt in no one place particularly, but every nerve, muscle and fibre is simultaneously titillated with the electric flash from the brain. All who have melancholy friends should try to excite them to laughter. A few hearty laughs will cure the most desperate case of melancholy.
— Foote, Edward B. (Edward Bliss), Medical common sense : applied to the causes, prevention and cure of chronic diseases, and unhappiness in marriage, 1858-
