"Many will immediately
exclaim, "Why, such a style of dress will be old-fashioned!"
What if it is? I wish we could be old-fashioned in many
respects. If we could have the old-fashioned strength that
characterized the old-fashioned women of past generations, IT
WOULD BE VERY DESIRABLE. I do not speak unadvisedly when I say
that the way in which women clothe themselves, together with
their indulgence of appetite, IS THE GREATEST CAUSE OF THEIR
FEEBLE, DISEASED CONDITION.
There is but one woman in a thousand who clothes her limbs as
she should. Whatever may be the length of the dress, WOMEN
SHOULD CLOTHE THEIR LIMBS AS THOROUGHLY AS DO MEN. If the limbs
and feet are kept comfortable with warm clothing, the
circulation will be equalized, and the blood will remain healthy
and pure, because it is not chilled nor hindered in its natural
passage through the system. {RH, February 6, 1900 par. 12}
