To Keep You Fit

working from early morning till late at night. Their advice for keeping patients off the sick list is to get fit and keep fit; cat sensibis, gargle your throat, avoid becoming overtired and, above all, get suficient exercise.

It sounds easy enough, but the last part of the advice seems to bo the most difficult to carry out. Apart from the fact that most people are tied to homes or work for the greater part of each day, sports are spolit by bad weather, and oven a brisk walk is avoided when rain and galea are the uninvited companions.
