HORSEBACK, EXERCISE Riding on horseback
is, perhaps, Of all others, the most manly ele-
CANT and efficient form ot' exercise In the first
place, it cannot be taken without being out oi
doors; then it enables you TO breathe q larger
amount of fresh air than if walking, beeause
you pass through greater space in less time,
and consequently greater number of layers
or rather sections Of fresh air, come in contact
with the nostrils, with less fatigue Another
advantage is, that all the muscles of the body
are exercised in moderation, and, to certain
extent equally so. And then again, while thus
exercising, and while every step forward gives
you fresh draught Of rure outdoor air, the
mind is entertained by every varity of objects
new things being vconstantly presented. The
only thing to be guarded against is feeling OF
chllness this is essential, for every chill is an
injury whether man be sick or Welt, chill
must necessarily be succeeded by fever, and
fever is disease. t-5e rsss,- 81 : ess

names who have lived to the age of seventy

exercise with them is national amusement
