suds, made of any soap on hand, to

Dn. FELIX L. OSWALD makes an elo-
duent plea, in nn article published in the
Popular Science Monthly, for the ad-
vantages Of physical exercise as a pre-
ventive of and cure for bodily ailmentA
He urges it as the proper remedy, cur
ing the symptoms by removing the
cause, for some of the besetting vices Of
youth, which he ascribes TO an excess OF
potential energy for which our sedentary
mode of life provides no outlet He urges,
also, that in large cities parents owe
their childre q revision for frequent
opportunity of active exercise, just as
they owe them an antiseptic diet in o
malarious climate.
If person should cot his dinner to-
day at II o'clock, tomorrow ct and
the next day at 8, aud continue in this
irregular manner for couple Of weeks,
his nervous system would be apt to be-
come entirely deranged, for the reason
that the individual has prevented this
natural tendency Of the nerves to have q
fixed and periodic time to demand the
food, and, rs O consequence from such
irregularity. indigestion Is the result,
and, on account Of the intimate connec-
ton of the nerves and the brain, . very
serious and detrimental effect upon the
latter IL produced, causing mental inac-
tivity and loss Of memory. But, on the
other hand, il we should eat our dinner
to-day at II, and tomorrow and the next
day at the same hour, we will find thu
this periodicity has been established, and
tho little messengers, the nerves, will
warn US exactly at IL that our regular
period has arrived. It therefore follows
that il we comply with that request
every day promptly we find good diges-
ton, quiet nerves, better memory and
more active mind to be the result
