pcriods-the first extending from birth 10 the
age of seven years, the second from the seventh
10 the fourteenth year, the third from the four
teIh to the twenty first year, the fourth from
the twenty first to the fortcth year, the fifth
from the fOrtcth year To the close ef liic's

In what is called the . third period the inn

the sexes. This is the stage of Development, when
the frame in acquiring form, proportion, and
strength, makes extraordinary demands upon the
vital and constitutional resources. The weaker
sex suffers most during this period. The vital
