.~,s Perhaps while j. is admitted that these
evils erislrh h denied that they result
from neglect or exercise. / That other
causes connected with the quantity and
quality Of food, high stimulants, unnatu-
raj postures, deficiency or excess of
sleep, operate To bring about the result, is
manifest; and it is equally clear that
want Of sufficient exercise in the open air
is the main cause. The following testi-
mony is explicit:
Every fact presented by the patholo-
gy Of the diseases Of literary men con-
firms the opinion that the neglect Of pigs
zeal esifSre hes at the foundation" -Dr.
Reynolds Of Boston on Physical Culture.
"lnactiVity is the great bane of ltera-
ry men. To the student exercise may be
considered the most certain safeguard a.
gainst oil those diseases which result
from intellectual exhaustion 1t is plain
that in the present state of things, mems
minds are too much engaged, and their
bodies too little; and here lies the root of
the bodily mischief so much complained
Of lam fully persuaded that deficient
exercise and mental anxiety are far the
most common and most powerful sources
OF dyspersy. -GTGham on Iadi gestion.

has spread itself so extensively, and en-.
geniered so alarming an increase Of dys-
pepsy and other chronic maladies. "-Pro,

"A very cufsory investigation Of exer-
else will show that inactivity is not only a
very powerful direct disease, but that by
cooperating with the other causes OF dis
ease to which students are exposed, it has
a mare general and PersicioGs influence
than any other, perhaps than all the rest, "
DR., Ffa1eE CiscisHali,, Ohio.
