To Cure Round Shoulders.

More than thirty years ago got a
habit of being round shouldered. In
trying 10 find a remedy, the following
plan, which grew out of my knowledge
OF anatomy. came in sight Hook the
fingers of the hands together; raise the
elbows as high as the shoulder,
and pull like a shoemaker The muscles
about the shoulder blades, to keep them
i'll place, are thus strengthened and in
short time enabled to fulfil their proper
office When lying on the back press
the head on the pillow so as to raise the
chest up from the bed on which yon are
reclining. This strengthens the muscles
that should hold the head erect. When
standing or sitting, where the head can
press against something solid. repeat the
operation. By a little thought at other
times TO use these muscles the difficulty
way Inc overcome.
