Physical Fvarciso


we find in the Medical and SurUicdI Re.
porter some sensible remarks on the practice
OF physical exercise as means of preserving
health, by DR.. Cheston Morris, who says:
The question for us to determine as physj
clans is this: How much exercise can oIr pa
llents take with benefit? | have found that
any amount OF exercise, such as walking, that

useful, and frequently tell my lady patients
that they may go out and exercise as much as

them. The cares of a faml5, anxiety about
business, and actual LABOR are more IMAM they

rest, more than exercise The trouble is, we

resting, we rush to gymnastic exercise, when

testified that he caught him Offering fancy

Hartog testified in his own behalf that he was

purchased 50 worth of fancy soap from a deale

Several lnformations were before the court

tenor OF the decision, according to which it
was found to be necessary for complainants
TO procure an order before magistrate under
oath, for the owner to kill animals offending,
and IN default of such killing, then the injured
party has cause to swear out an Information
