Expanding the Lungs.

Step out into the purest air you can
find, Stand perfectly erect with the head
and shoulders back, and then fixing the
lips as though you were going to whis-
tie, draw the air through the nostrils in
to the lungs. When the chest is ABOUT
full raise the arms, keeping them ex-
tended with the palms of the hands
down, as you suck in the air, so as to
bring them over the head just as the
lungs are quite full. Then drop the
thumbs inward, and after gently forcing
the arms backward and the chest open,
reverse the process by which you draw
YOUR breath, till the lungs are entirely
empty. This process should be repeat
ed three or four times day. 1t is i'm
possible to describe to one who has new
tried il the glorio1s sense ofvigor which
follows the exercise. IL is the best ex-
pectorant in the world. We know a
gentleman, the measure of whose chest
has been increased some three inches
during As many months.-E1ohanSe.
