The secret of health, as every Intelli
gent phyalclnn knows, ia free and full
circulation of the blood, and this circu
lation la d"pcndcnt absolutely on tho"
ough oxygenation. In ninny casiw
where erroneoua habits of living have
been so long continued that congestion
baa become chronic in one almpe or an
otherobesity, gout, rheumatism, con
stipation or tuberculosis bnvlng
camped In the ayatem and crippled It
the patient la not npt to be hi a condi
tion to readily ussliiillnte a sulflclont
quantity of oxygen direct from the at
mosphere. The brctitbini; nppnralus
must first be prffpei-ly developed, ao
that the patient shall be able to gnul
sully Increase the supply of air to tuo
system, until nt last he recovers the
normal power of deep breathing.
With the building up of the Jungs
through proper breathing there la a
metabolism of all the tissues and or
gans, so Unit, for most men, breathing
exercises arc more. Important than any
mere lmiaculnr exercise. Not only tbe
lungs, but nil the internal orgnna are
brought Into play by correct brenttijpff.
It develops the heart, atoniach, liver
and kidneys dlreetly nnd Indirectly nnd
nourishes nil these organs ns they
should b? nourished by more blood nnd
better blood lo constant nnd regular
circulation, firealhing, therefore, la n

"Wo shot two wart hogs, one a partic

the tusks, hul of course none of the
Somalia would touch the iiuclenn ani
mal. At last a bribe of 2 rupees In
duced the Mid, .-nn woman to chop the
tusks out with n hatchet. Even then
she would not touch them and with
the help of !v,i sticks, which she used
like n pair of touga, put them on a
camel. Then there was a long dispute
about the liaK het. No one would touch
It. It had been defiled. Of course this
was pure affectation and playing to the
gallery on the ayah's part. At home
with her native Irihe she would have
gorged all tl.e pig she could get Hut
It flattered the Somalia, and wo march
ed off, the ayah holding the hatchet at
