I suspected the meaning but looked it up in a 1957 Webster's.  
Salubrious means healthful and is an adjective as in a salubrious 
climate.  I figure there were one or two of us that weren't familiar 
with the word (not including James).  I've learned my something new for 
the day, thanks Gene. 

You're done producing offspring, but please don't do this regularly.  
Years ago when we learned how Chlorox breaks down into dioxin in rivers 
and streams and is very unsalubrious (?) for the animals living in those 
habitats, we quit using it when doing laundry.  Now it's kept on hand 
only for emergencies.

A terrific and salubrious weekend to you.
