Right and Wrong Exercise.
The word "exercise" covers a multi
tude of sins. It Is a very loose term
used for an form of physical exer
tion, it sweeping out a factory,
walking home from the office or lifting
dumbbells. To say "Exercise is bene
ficial" Is a very Inaccurate remark and
a very dangerous belief. It Is neces
sary to distinguish between rlirbt and
wrong exercise. ' As often as not big ;
muscles in arms, chest or lees are a "
calamity, for they actually shorten life
unless the vital organs are proportion
ately developed to take care of them.
Men are constantly wearing out their
hearts and arteries with some form of
violent work they call "exercise." If
continued they, would die of arterio
sclerosis,. A pretty good general rule
for these men to go by Is to take no
form of exercise after they are grown
up that they cannot keep on with until
they are old men. J. Edmund Thomp
