1911: Importance of Breathing
Remember that the air you breathe contains all the elements of
life. To breathe correctly will increase the length of your life
and increase your vitality, thereby enabling you to throw off
disease, and giving you a clear and brilliant complexion, while
improper breathing weakens your vitality and your resistance to
disease, impoverishes the blood, ruins the complexion and shortens
the term of life. Source:

Do
not breathe through the mouth; this is one of the offices for
which Nature gave you a nose. If the cold air is breathed in through
the mouth, it chills and partly paralyses the delicate vessels
of the lungs, as well as carrying with it directly into these
vessels, the dust with which the air is laden. By breathing through
the nose, this dust is filtered out and the air raised to the
temperature of the body before it reaches the lungs.
