English, the borning days of the mother tongue, "health" and "wealth" had the same meaning.<br /><br />You can find the usage of "wealth" to mean "health" throughout the poems of Wyatt, for example.<br /><br />But of course Wyatt died a good two and a half centuries before the mother tongue gave birth to the modern meaning of "class".
