| Is there anything more important than health? I don't think so. "Health is the greatest wealth," wise people say. __1 If you have a headache, toothache, backache, or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. _2 . The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. __3 . An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. __4 . In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: "Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.
