A 6 30 97 7 MUSCLE BUILDING g MUSCLE BUILDING VIBRATORY EXERCISE. Many business men at forty are fat and flabby; their arms are weak, their liancis are soft and pulpy, their abdomens are prominent and jelly-like. When they run a block for a train, they puff and blow like disordered gasoline autos. Men get into this condi- tion because they sit still too much; because they eat more than they need, and because they drink. No one gets into this condition because he wishes to. It is against the wish of everyone to have his body in this kind of order. He well knows that it lessens his working capacity, that it takes away a great deal of the fun of living; that it prevents his enjoying vigorous things as he did when a young man; and that it will probably cut ojffi years at the end of hi& life. The reason that he does not come out of this condition is that he thinks it will involve a serious modification of his mode of living, a serious altera- tion of his business habits. He thinks it will involvt iTiscles is lieauti- No. 1— The way in which pquee/iTipr intonsly uses many i fully sh _^,^ ...^4ou lower them.

One essential and probably most important thing is a pure, wholesome dieL It should consist chiefly of vegetables, fruit, whole wheat bread, and in fact, any food which tends to give one health and strength. One of the worst evils, and it is taught us at an early age, is the habit of eating too much food. The child is no sooner old enough to desire food than he is overfed. When he cries SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 85 from the effects of having been already overfed, the stuffing process is repeated. In fact, feeding becomes the panacea for every ill. The stomach is thus unnaturally distended, and eventu- ally becomes enlarged and diseased. To whom shall we go for advice regarding our eating and drinking ? Know thyself and the advice of others will not be needed ? Every one should understand the great laws and principles of physiology and apply them with the aid of experience to his own case. But eating improper food, drinking too much ffuid at meal time and eating too fast is injurious to every one. Alcoholic drinks, drugs, condiments, tea, coffee and tobacco should be avoided. Pure fresh air at all times and plenty of sunlight are essential to gain and maintain health. As food is needed to supply our bodies with material, so air is needed to supply the greater amount of oxygen to purify the blood. As fish cannot live out of water, neither can man live without air. The lungs are not like a house, with windows and doors, through which the breeze plays freely. They are, rather, like a deep well, into which fresh air will not go, unless in some way a current is made. We make this cr-rent stronger by deep breathing. This deep breathing or (lung gymnastics) develops and expands the lungs and chest and increases the circulation of the blood. Attending poorly ventilated public places are productive of disease. Our sleeping rooms should be well ventilated. Some occupations are causes of disease, by their exhaustion, monotony, deprivation of healthly condition, and the utter hope- lessness of improvement. Occupations of a sedentary nature are bad; therefore, one thus occupied should take plenty of bodily exercise. Millers, stone-cutters, bakers, cigar makers and those who are compelled to breathe dust and morbid matter into the system, are subject to affections of the throat and lungs. Painters, and workers in lead, arsenic, mercury, etc., are poisoned. Brewers and bartenders are short lived. Persons of consumptive tendency should work in the open air and practice deep breathing. Unclean habits, wearing filthy clothes, neglect of daily bathing, tend to cleg the pores, prevent the throwing out effete, waste 86 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. and morbid matters, cause the re-absorption of matter already expelled, and are fruitful causes of disease. Water promotes health when taken internally or applied exter- nally. For weak or sore eyes water is very healing. First batlie the eyes in water as hot as can be borne, then in water as cold as can be had. This is also an excellent tonic for the skin, and will serve the hands and face as a cosmetic and remove wrinkles. An effective way to cure a cold is to discontinue eating for a few meals and drink plenty of water. The reason eating should be discontinued is that in most cases it is overeating that causes colds. A cold is produced by the efiforts of nature trying to throw of^ the impurities that have accumulated in the system. For sore throat I have found that a handkerchief saturated with cold water tied about the neck to be quite efifective in relieving it. It is better to tie some dry material over the w^et application, and thus prevent catching cold. This application is also good for rheumatic joints, torpid liver, weak stomach, bronchial end pulmonary afifections and varicocele. For liver and stomach complaints, wear the bandage around the abdomen. A liberal supply of pure water taken internally tends to make one fleshy, is good for the kidneys and cures constipation by making the liver active. It is better to wait a couple of hours after meals before drinking much water. Violent and sudden etnotions sometimes terminate in sickness and even death. Our every emotion tends to develop the body into beauty or ugliness. If one thinks of disease and imperfection all the time he cannot expect to have perfect health. Again, if he permits his mind to dwell on illicit thoughts and deeds, how quickly will the sexual organism become tainted, stultifying the intellect, deadening the sensibilities, dwarfing the soul. If one would be pure and continent, he should not entertain sensuous thoughts, but exert the will power and change the train of thought. Anger, jealousy, worry and hurry, grief, discontent, lack of self-control, passion, illicit imaginings all tend to make our bodies repulsive and diseased, while high and lofty thoughts, will power, love, charity, exercise and a Christian life imparts health. SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY, 87 There are many causes and conditions of disease, such as improper clothmg, insufficient rest and sleep, etc., which we can- not discuss for want of space, but allow me to recommend four great natural curative agencies that should be studied: Air, Diet, Water and Exercise. HOW TO INCREASE ONE'S WEIGHT, Practice exercising rather slowly, in bathing use cold water sparingly, only enough to protect from colds ; sleep eight or ten hours, dress warmly, eat principally cereals, eggs (raw or soft boiled), nuts, milk and hot water, peas and beans, baked apples and other sweet fruits, beef and fowl, rice and baked potatoes, and whole wheat bread. HOW TO REDUCE ONE'S WEIGHT. If the heart is sound, exercise vigorously and often, take cold baths daily, dress lightly, do not sleep over eight hours, eat prin- cipally fruit, fresh vegetables, fresh water fish, whites of eggs, wheat gluten, lean beef, mutton, chicken and veal, not more than three or foui ounces of liquids at each meal, and but little between. Avoid fried foods of all kinds, fat meat, milk, potatoes, starch, pastry, cakes and sugar. Keep the bov^ls active. BATHING. NEVER BATHE JUST BEFORE OR AFTER A MEAL. Always bathe after exercise, using graded bath, beginning witli warm water for cleansing, gradually reduce temperature until a5 cold as desired. Rub with a coarse towel until a good reaction is produced. SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY HELP IN CASE OF ACCIDENTS This was taken from the "Gymnasium Director's Pocket Book.' Drowning, i. Loosen clothing, if any. 2. Empty lungs 01 water by laying body on its stomach and lifting it by the middle so that the head hangs down. Jerk the body a few times. 3. Pull tongue forward, using handkerchief, or pin with string, if neces- sary. 4. Imitate: motion of respiration by alternately compres- sing, and expanding the lower ribs, about twenty times a minute. Alternately raising; and lowering the arms from the sides up above the head will stimulate the action of the lungs. Let it be done gently but persistently. 5.

By holding tongue forward, closing the nostrils and pressing the "Adam's apple" back (so as to close entrance to stomach), direct inflation may be tried. Take a deep breath and breathe it forcibly into the mouth of patient, compress the chest to expel the air, and repeat the operation. 7. DON'T GIVE UP !
