Never sleep on your back. If you are in the habit of doing this, wear a belt with some small article attached against your back so that the moment you turn over on your back during sleep you will be awakened.
CULTIVATE A LOVE FOR COLD WATER.
Do not under any circumstances neglect the practice of gradually inuring yourself to the use of cold water morning and evening, though a complete sitz bath will be found of especial advantage after exercise on rising.
Take up regular exercise, though be very moderate at first.
If the exercise is overdone it will tend to aggravate your trouble. Deep breathing and long walks can especially be commended.
Don't over-eat.
It is a hundred times preferable to eat too little than to eat too much. Eat nourishing, appetizing foods only. Eat slowly, masticate thoroughly.
Keep the bowels regular by using laxative
