# Macfadden's Fasting, Hydropathy and Exercise/CHAPTER XI

III.—EXERCISE.
CHAPTER XI.
PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA.
The sanitary influence of active exercise is so unmistakable that it has never been altogether disputed, though its importance is still strangely underrated.
Nearly two thousand years ago the medical philosopher Asclepiades substituted gymnastics for drugs, and Dr. Boerhave repeatedly called attention to the remedial effect of outdoor labor in cases where medicine had failed to bring relief. "When I reflect on the pathological immunities of hard-working people," he says, "I cannot help thinking that most of our fashionable diseases might be cured mechanically, instead of chemically, by climbing a bitterwood tree, or chopping it down, if you like, rather than swallowing a decoction of its disgusting leaves."
The organism of the human body has, indeed, been aptly compared to a vessel moved both by ​steam and sails, but still more closely resembles the ingenious motor-boat of a Belgian engineer who utilized air-currents to recharge the batteries of an electric propeller. In a calm the ship could for a while continue its course with the assistance of the stored-up power, but under the impulse of a good breeze the engines worked under high pressure, besides being aided by a number of sails. Even thus the activity of the internal organism can for a time dispense with the stimulus of well-directed exercise, but manifests the potency of its assistance with a promptness that precludes all reasonable doubt about the connection of cause and effect. Exposure to a blood-chilling atmosphere makes the generation of animal warmth a question of vital importance, and ten minutes of vigorous exercise will raise that warmth from twenty to thirty degrees. Picket-posts on the Manitoba frontier often keep themselves alive by running, instead of walking, up and down, for half-hours or longer. Premier Gladstone's prescription of "a cord of beechwood a week, axe and wedges, in six instalments, before breakfast," will stimulate the appetite in a manner which no drugs can begin to approach.
​Walking up a hill of two hundred feet suffices to increase the pulse and relieve oppression of the chest and other premonitory symptoms of heart-disease. Sleeplessness can be cured, or rather palliated, by narcotics—for a while. The eventual effect of the drug is to aggravate the evil and induce those fifty-hour vigils that drove De Quincey to the verge of insanity. Outdoor exercise will remedy the trouble, not only more cheaply and reliably, but also without the risk of distressing after-effects.
Skilful sailors can utilize any—not too violent—breeze, to keep their course in the desired direction, and there is hardly a form of active exercise that cannot be modified in a manner to obviate the necessity of the drug-monger's assistance, but, besides, there are movement-cure prescriptions of a more limited, but also more infallible efficacy, that may ultimately supersede the use of medicinal specifics.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 153/Issue 1983/An Eastern Legend

Originally published in Das Deutsche Familienblatt.
An Eastern Legend.—The most painful thing to endure among the ruins of Palmyra is the want of water. The inhabitants have no other water than that of a hot spring, the water of which has an intense smell of sulphur. It can only be drunk after it has been exposed for twelve hours to the wind in a leather bottle. Yet, however repulsive it might have appeared at first, one gets so accustomed to it that at last the water brought by travellers, even from the "Wild-goat’s Well" (Ain el Woul, half-way between Karatern and Palmyra), appears tasteless. The following legend relates to the sulphurous well of Palmyra, Ain el Ritshen, or the Star Well. Once upon a time a large snake had taken its abode in the well, and was stopping its mouth so that no water could be drawn from it. Solomon, son of David, ordered the animal to leave the place, in order that the people might use the water. The snake replied to the wise king: "Grant me to come out with my whole body, and promise me not to kill me. I have a sun-spot in the middle of my body, and I shall die if anything touches me on that place." When Solomon had given him the required promise, the snake began to wind itself out; it crawled and crawled, but there was no end to it. Its rings already filled the valley, and there was no appearance of a sun-spot yet. Solomon began to be frightened, and he trembled so much that a ring slipped from his finger at the very moment when the mysterious spot appeared at the mouth of the well; the ring fell on that spot, and the snake was broken in two parts. The hind part of the monster remained in the well, and was putrefied in it, so that it became impossible to drink the water. Solomon purified the spring with sulphur, the putrid smell disappeared, but that of sulphur remains till now. The ashes of the front part of the snake burnt by Solomon, dispersed to all the four winds, became another plague, that of the army of springing insects, eg. locusts, etc.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 154/Issue 1995/In a Palm Grove

The cocoa-nut trees grow tall and slim,  Not straight, but bending;  With their branchless stems and leaves depending, Which look so small,  So high  Up in the sky, That when the fall of a leaf occurs — A big dead leaf of serrate brown — It wonder stirs; For it comes down from the crown With a swishing sound, And a crash on the ground.
Our cocoa-nut garden borders the lake; Has rocks and bushes to form a brake; A sweet green brake, which, girdling The garden, nests many a birdling; A birdling that chirps in the cinnamon shrub, That twitters unseen in the close-growing scrub.
And the lake Mirrors the brake And the huge grey stones;  And laps,  And flaps, In whispering tones At their base.
This my garden’s a beautiful place; In the afternoon hush What shadows lie On the turf so green, Where the foot must crush The flowers’ satine, As it tramples by. . . .
Flowers that gently look up from their beds, Up, and up, to the trees’ lofty heads; The feathery heads of the cocoa-nut trees, So far away up that one scarcely sees The great brown nuts which are hanging there, Growing and ripening in hot clear air.
The soft grey squirrels run up the boles; They fly to their airie rooms; They fly to their nooks and holes Close under the leafy plumes: And the shadows of all come flickering down, And rest on the turf to sober the shine, The hot gold shine, That would scorch too much The blossoms which gaze On such ardent rays, And would slay them by too long a burning touch.
Delicate flowers, Through the drowsy hours Living to breathe in the crystal calm, Living to drink in the scents and balm Of a tropical clime;  Living to look,  For a time, Into Nature’s beautiful book. . . . Azure and flecked with white, Hearted with glowing pink, On stems so slender, They must be tender, Such gossamer sprays to link.
Here come flickering butterflies, Orange and sulphur a couple of sprites; A couple of gorgeous insects, which rise And fall and quiver among the lights, And circle around the lantana blooms — The orange-colored lantana — and play With the blooms which are just as yellow as they, And lose themselves in the jungle glooms.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 152/Issue 1970/Travelling Moss

Originally published in Leeds Mercury.
Travelling Moss
Our readers have Probably never read or heard of the "travelling moss." It was one of the most curious things that ever occurred in the Border country. It happened in the November of 1771, just one hundred and ten years ago, between the rivers Sark and Esk, in the parish of Kirkandrews, some four miles from Longtown, on the estate of Sir James Graham, of Netherby. During a dark and tempestuous night, without giving any warning, there was a sudden and overwhelming eruption of the Solway Moss, the crash of which descending from a higher to a lower level, greatly alarmed the fears, and made the very bones of the inhabitants to tremble. Why it should have been so fast moored, age after age, and now have moved away from its native place like a floating island, nobody could tell, and, indeed, they had not time to cogitate that question. Those who resided where the vast mass of eruptive matter broke forth, filled with consternation and dread, had to flee almost naked from their houses to find shelter and safety on higher ground from the desolating, foul, muddy flood, leaving furniture and cattle behind them — a prey to the black and nauseous stream. People flocked from all parts of the country to gaze on the mysterious phenomenon and the ruin it had produced. The rental of the region was estimated to have exceeded £400 a year, and the area it covered was about five hundred acres, and in some places the stagnant lake was thirty feet in depth. About twenty-eight families and many little farms were greatly injured by the pitchy pool vomited up, as it were, from the bowels of the earth. The distress would have been much greater but for the humane and generous laird, who contributed to the support of the people involved, and replaced as far as possible their various losses. By means of long channels in various directions, under the skilful management of a Yorkshire-man of the name of Wilson, the water was let off, and the earthy matter was at length carted away. Many years elapsed before the traces of this singular calamity disappeared, and it is matter for thankfulness that there has never since been a recurrence of it.
# Mardi/Volume I/Chapter XXVI

Still many days passed and the Parki yet floated. The little flying-fish got used to her familiar, loitering hull; and like swallows building their nests in quiet old trees, they spawned in the great green barnacles that clung to her sides.
The calmer the sea, the more the barnacles grow. In the tropical Pacific, but a few weeks suffice thus to encase your craft in shell armor. Vast bunches adhere to the very cutwater, and if not stricken off, much impede the ship's sailing. And, at intervals, this clearing away of barnacles was one of Annatoo's occupations. For be it known, that, like most termagants, the dame was tidy at times, though capriciously; loving cleanliness by fits and starts. Wherefore, these barnacles oftentimes troubled her; and with a long pole she would go about, brushing them aside. It beguiled the weary hours, if nothing more; and then she would return to her beads and her trinkets; telling them all over again; murmuring forth her devotions, and marking whether Samoa had been pilfering from her store.
Now, the escape from the shoal did much once again to heal the differences of the good lady and her spouse. And keeping house, as they did, all alone by themselves, in that lonely craft, a marvel it is, that they should ever have quarreled. And then to divorce, and yet dwell in the same tenement, was only aggravating the evil. So Belisarius and Antonina again came together. But now, grown wise by experience, they neither loved over-keenly, nor hated; but took things as they were; found themselves joined, without hope of a sundering, and did what they could to make a match of the mate. Annatoo concluded that Samoa was not wholly to be enslaved; and Samoa thought best to wink at Annatoo's foibles, and let her purloin when she pleased.
But as in many cases, all this philosophy about wedlock is not proof against the perpetual contact of the parties concerned; and as it is far better to revive the old days of courtship, when men's mouths are honey-combs: and, to make them still sweeter, the ladies the bees which there store their sweets; when fathomless raptures glimmer far down in the lover's fond eye; and best of all, when visits are alternated by absence: so, like my dignified lord duke and his duchess, Samoa and Annatoo, man and wife, dwelling in the same house, still kept up their separate quarters. Marlborough visiting Sarah; and Sarah, Marlborough, whenever the humor suggested.

# Marcus Varro

Published in "The Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac" by Charles Scribners Sons, in 1895.
Marcus Varro went up and down The places where old books were sold; He ransacked all the shops in town For pictures new and pictures old. He gave the folk of earth no peace; Snooping around by day and night, He plied the trade in Rome and Greece Of an insatiate Grangerite. The places where old books were sold; He ransacked all the shops in town For pictures new and pictures old. He gave the folk of earth no peace; Snooping around by day and night, He plied the trade in Rome and Greece Of an insatiate Grangerite.
"Pictures!" was evermore his cry-- "Pictures of old or recent date," And pictures only would he buy Wherewith to "extra-illustrate." Full many a tome of ancient type And many a manuscript he took, For nary purpose but to swipe Their pictures for some other book.
While Marcus Varro plied his fad There was not in the shops of Greece A book or pamphlet to be had That was not minus frontispiece. Nor did he hesitate to ply His baleful practices at home; It was not possible to buy A perfect book in all of Rome!
What must the other folk have done-- Who, glancing o'er the books they bought, Came soon and suddenly upon The vandalism Varro wrought! How must their cheeks have flamed with red-- How did their hearts with choler beat! We can imagine what they said-- We can imagine, not repeat!
Where are the books that Varro made-- The pride of dilettante Rome-- With divers portraitures inlaid Swiped from so many another tome? The worms devoured them long ago-- O wretched worms! ye should have fed Not on the books "extended" so, But on old Varro's flesh instead!
Alas, that Marcus Varro lives And is a potent factor yet! Alas, that still his practice gives Good men occasion for regret! To yonder bookstall, pri'thee, go, And by the "missing" prints and plates And frontispieces you shall know He lives, and "extra-illustrates"!

United States Supreme Court
367 U.S. 717
Marcus v. Search Warrants of Property at 104 East Tenth Street Kansas City Missouri
No. 225. Argued: March 30, 1961. --- Decided: June 19, 1961
Mr. Justice BLACK, whom Mr. Justice DOUGLAS joins, concurring.
The warrant used to search appellants' premises made no attempt specifically to describe the "things to be seized," as the Fourth Amendment requires. As the historical summary in the Court's opinion demonstrates, a major purpose of adopting that amendment was to bar the Federal Government from using precisely this kind of general warrant to support "unreasonable searches and seizure" of the "papers" and "effects" of persons having possession of them. See especially Entick v. Carrington, 19 Howell's State Trials 1029, at 1073-1076; Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616, 624-630; Frank v. State of Maryland, 359 U.S. 360, 374 (dissenting opinion). It is my view that the Fourteenth Amendment makes the Fourth Amendment applicable to the States to the full extent of its terms, just as it applies to the Federal Government. See Adamson v. California, 332 U.S. 46, 68 (dissenting opinion). Only last Term we said that in Wolf v. Colorado, 338 U.S. 25, "it was unequivocally determined by a unanimous Court that the Federal Constitution, by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment, prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures by state officers." Elkins v. United States, 364 U.S. 206, 213. And in Mapp v. Ohio, ante, p. 643, it is said that "[s]ince the Fourth Amendment's right of privacy has been declared enforceable against the States through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth, it is enforceable against them by the same sanction of exclusion as is used against the Federal Government." Since the State has used a general warrant in this case in violation of the prohibitions of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, I concur in reversal of the judgment.
