A Prescription the Ladies Should Gener-
ally Take.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Here comes u model" remarked q
well-known physician while standing
for q moment at the corner of Fourth
and Race streets one afternoon last
week. "Notice that young ladies erect
carriage, her firm and graceful walk;
see the bloom of her complexion, such
as can not possibly be initiated by arti-
fetal aids, and her when she comes
nearer notice how calmly she will meet
your gaze, without finching, blush
ing or exhibiting the slightest awkward
ness" K

gazing at young ladies in the mannerin.
dicated, but he made an exception to
his general rule in favor Of the superb
creature approaching.
"There is health and beauty worth
looking at whispered the doctor.
Gone of your patients 1 suppose; q
monument to your skill, and all that
sort of thing. Let me congratulate
YOU"
"Not at all, net ct all. She has
never been uniter my hands; but my de-
light in her appearance is professional
all the same. She is a living embodi-
ment of a course of treatment which 1
would like to see adopted by everyday
in Cincinnati. One year ago she was
like any II of these"
He pointed out q group of ladies on
the opposite pavement who were strug-
Cling along in tight shoes, taking short,
mincing steps; bent forward at angles
ranging from forty-ive degrees, and
without exception sallow or a%rtificially
blooming.
"She took a journey to England, to
some point in Devonshire, I believe;
stayed there for six months, and came
back as you see her now"
"No doubt every lady in Cincinnati
would like to adopt that course of trent
ment."
"But you do not understand me.
The trip to England, in itself, was val
ueless. 1t was the knowledge which
this young lady gained there that
showed her the way to her present
health and beauty. The whole secret
Is contained in two words; they are
JUDICIoUs EXERCISE.
The young in England rides,
walks, rows, plays lawn tennis, botan-
ICES, rides the tricycle., goes through a
course of calisthenics, every morning;
in short, is on the jump from morning
till night, and the result Is she is gem
orally Is healthy and hearty us her
brothers. In the present state of socie-
ty in this country, all these things can
not be INDUCED in by our girls without
more or less inconvenience and expense;
but no n is so circumstanced& that she
cannot take all the exercise that is
required to give her a sound mind in a
sound body.
Suppose you tell me what you con-
slider iudicious exercise for a lady.
81 can do that in q few words.
Round shoulders, a stopping gait, and a
flat chest are the rule rather than the
exception. They can be cured in a
very short time by fifteen minutes ex-
ercise night and morning in the open
air or in a well ventilated room. The
morning exercise had better be taken
Immediately after rising, before dress
ing for the day, as tight clothing will
interfere with the free movements re-
quired.
"The first thing to bedonei is to stand
erect, with the heels together, the head
thrown back, the chest out and hands
hanging loosely at the side. Then the
lungs should be filed with air and slow
ly exhausted, perhaps half a dozen
times. The arms should be thrown
forward at full length in front, on a
level with the shoulders, the palms of
the hands in contact. Keeping the
arms extended, the hands should be for
chilly thrown backward until the backs
ofthe hands touch behind the shoulders,
while the palms come together before
the chest. Let this motion be gone
through with rapidly some thirty times.
"In the next move hold the arms
straight above the head, with the palms
of the hands forward; now, bending the
hips, bring the arms down in front,
keeping them straight all the time, until
the fingers touch the toes; then return
the arms to their original position above
the head. This motion should be per-
formed very slowly twenty or thirty
times. At first it will almost be impos-
sible to touch the floor with the finger
tips without bending the knees, but In
the course Of time it will be performed
readily.
GYMNASTICS.
"In the third movement the lady
should hold ner hand close to her sides,
with the thumbs still forward. Bring
the arms up from the sides, thumbs still
forward; then return them to their first
position. The arms must not be bent
at the elbows. If persisted in, this
movement will straigthen out stopping
shoulders. Are these directions perfect
ly plain?"
Perfectly So"
"Any lady who will vigorously prac-
tice these movements twice a day for
fifteen minutes will presently have a full
chest, straight shoulders and sound
lungs, unless her case is so far advanced
as to be incurable.
"Of course these exercises will have
the same effect on men as we'll: but,
as a rule, men do not need themin any
thing like the same degree as women.
The man who does his duty in the
world is compelled to take q degree OF
