DR- WESDsHIF MARVELLOUS FEATs OF
STRESGTH.-Dr. Windship delivered a very inter-
esting and improving lecture last night at Brews-
ter's Hall. on Physical training, the best methods.
and the possible results. lie spoke largely Of his
own experience, detailing the practices adopted
and found most beneficial in mis- own case. and
stating general rules for the guidance of those
who wish 20 become truly healthy and strong.
he insisted elOGuent!y upon the paramount I'M
portance Of health above all other things, and
upon che necessity of high physical Development
as a basis for mental culture and effort. His
lecture was characterized By sound seuse, and
showed that the Doctor himself Is not lacking in
mental culture and power. His delivery was
easy and impressive.
DR.. Windship Is q young physician of Rox-
bury, 20 years Of age. five feet seven inches in
height, and in every sense 4 small man. His
muscles are not larger than those of some of our
college athletes, though very large for a man Of
his size. But his health and physical develop
ment Il perfect the skin Is firm and Of = dark
rudy color the muscles are rs hard a. iron his
finely shaped head Is very wide Just above the
ears, and he has the wide nOstrils and steady eve
that characterize men of great srength and high
training. For rest. he is 4 modest, we'll educa-
ted gentleman. and n perfect enthusiast in regard
20 health and physical development, and applies
his knowledge of his pr ,fessiUn rather 10 a sOlu-
ton of the problem " how To be healthy-how TO
avoid disease " than To the methods of curing.
After the lecture he retired for a moment 70
rhe anti-roOm. inviting the audience meanwhile
20 examine ME apparatus and satisfy themselves
that there was no deception about it. This was
hardly necessary Upon the stage was a simple
barrel of -four, weighing 2l6 pounds. and 4 raised
scafolding from which was suspended . mass Of
weight amounting TO ] $50 pound-eonsisting of
nine casks of nails. four salt bags, and the ropes
and chains by which they were suspended.
On appearing the Doctor mounted the scat
fold. passed q wooden handle through the ring
from which the weight was suspended, and then
by a mighty effort raised it clear from the scat
fold. This he did a second time, and the weight
could be seen To rise and heard TO drop each time
