But as you may know, my great interes
IN life lies IN prevention. For forty years
have labored in this field. One of the phase
of my work in New England was the estal
lishment of the Ladies' Seminary at Lexinl
ton, Mass. My aim was to illustrate tn
possibilities in the ply steal training of CIR
during their school life. This institutio
became, before left it, the largest and mos
successful seminary for young women owne

of two hundred persons. The remarkabl
results of this muscle training among girl
were given III my paper published in tn
North american Rerie,C of December. 1873.
Besides | established the Normal Institut
for Physical Training in Boston, and for te
years was its President and Manager. DI
Walter Claiming, DR.. Thomas Hoskins, Pro
lessor Leonard and others were among il
teachers, and more than four hundred per
sons took its diploma and went out into al
parts of the land TO teach the new school O
gymnastics. And now the years left to me
propose to devote to the magazine which
have come here to establish. It will be tn
largest periodical ever devoted to this field o
literature, and will present the hundred am
one questions of hygiene with the simplicit
of child's talk. To this end all so-calle
learning will be subordinated. The maya
zine will be more or less illustrated, and vii
strive t. reach high place in the confidenc
and hearts of the people. In a few week
our first number will appear, and we sbal
fondly hope for it hearty welcome"
The facts above narla ted are indeed mos
important. 1t is gratifying to know that tn
lifelong experiences of a gentleman VIII
stands without peer in successfully demon
strating the principles of hygiene: who's
heart has always been in sympathy with tn
afflicted, and whose BRAIN has ever been &C
tive in planning for their relief, are TO b.
given to the public through the.pages of
magazine. And 1t is specially signifcan
and proof positive of rare merit that a pro
