PACK THE LUNGS WITH AIR.-Deep
breathing and holding of the breath is an
item of importance. Persons of weak vital
ity find an uninterrupted succession Of deep
and rapid respiration so distressing that
they are discouraged from persevering in
the exercise. Let such persons take into
the lungs as much air as they can and hold
it as long as they can, and they will find a
grateful sense of relief in the whole abdoml'
nal region. Practice will increase ability to
hold the breath and the capacity of the
lungs. After time the art may be learned
of packing the lungs. This is done by TAX
ing and holding the long breath and then
forcing more air down the trachr by swal-
lows of air. The operation may be describ-
ed by that OF fsh's mouth in tho water.
10 those who have never learned it will be
surprising to what extent the lungs may be
packed. Caution at first is needfu, but
latter practice will warrant large use of the
treatment. The whole thoracic and abdom-
inal cavities will receive immediate benefit,
and continuance and temperance in eating,
good air and right exercise, will bring well
come improvement.-Hcra Of Health.
