recently been proved that women have
fewer. bymany millions, Of red blood
corpuscles than men. This. too, may be
one reason for their greater tendency to
corpulepce.
As the muscles become infltrated
with fat, they are weakened. Hence
corpulent persons are apt to be indis-
posed to active exercise. For the same
reason, the heart is rendered feeble
and is easily disturbed. The deficiency
of oxygen tends to the formation Of
uric acid, and hence to the production
of gout. The very corpulent are
specially liable to various forms Of con-
gestion, and acute diseases are apt to
have an unfavorable course.
In treating the corpulent, regard
must be had to the fact that their
heart is weak. The main reliance for
reducing the obesity is on diet and exer-
else. The latter increases the power
OF the blood to take up oxygen. The

Reducing Obesity.

Diet and Exercise the Main Reliance for
Reducing Obesity.
A correspondent, who, without any
known organic or functional trouble,
is greatly incommoded by superhuous
fat-he wrongly calls it lesh-requests
an article on the subject.
The condition is known as corpu-
lence, or obesity. 1t consists in tend
ency to the formation and deposit of
fat. A certain amount of this deposit
is normal. 1t is an element of beauty
rounding out the form. 1t lessons the
effect of sudden changes Of temper
ature. 1t is reserve of nutriment to
be drawn upon in emergencies, thus
saving the muscles and other tissues.
Some persons inherit tendency to
it. Some races are more liable to it
than Others. Women are more SO than
men. Both sexes are more inclined to it
after the age Of forty. There are indi-
vidual cases of extreme obesity. A boy
at the age of three weighed one hun
dred and twenty-four pounds; a girl,
one hundred and eighty-two, at twelve.
A woman, who was thin and delicate
at eighteen, died at forty-one with
some eight inches of fat around her
body. The famous Daniel Lambert's
maximum weight was seven hundred
and thirty-nine pounds. Much the
largest part of the body in these per-
sons was pure fat.
In all cases of obesity, there is a de-
ficiency Of oxygen in the blood either
absolutely, or relatively to the amount
of food. Excess of food tends to pro-
duce it, and yet some are corpulent on
spare diet. Lack of exercise favors
It by lessening the oxidation of the tis-
sues. It is also produced by diseases
which diminish the number of the red
blood corpuscles. 1t is the latter that
absorb oxygen from the inspired air
and convey it to the tissues.
According to Quain, very corpulent
people have large hearts and small
lungs. This may help to explain the
denciency Of oxygen. It has also quite

Hlgh-Sounding Statements Of Success
Which Must Prove luxurious.
Occasionally one runs across such
an item as this in the newspaper press:
'Five years ago man arrived at such
and such place penniless and on
foot. (This is often varied by the addi-
ton that he was several hundred or
thousand dollars in debt.) He planted
himself on farm and went to work
with determination to earn com
petence. He now has, as the result of
his industry, over a thousand acres of
land. and his possessions foot up to-
tai valuation Of eighteen or twenty
thousand dollars"
This sounds very prettily, no doubt,
but it is very doubtful if it will bear
examination. For instance, how is a
man without capital to "plant himself
on a farmp' Real estate owners have
a universal, if ineonvenient, habit Of
demanding at least a portion Of the
money in hand for which they dispose
of piece of property, and it would be
an unheard-of thing for any one to sell
a farm to a man confessedly penniless
and without other resources than his
hands. But even after the man has
planted himself, the next thing in order
is to plant crop. This necessitates
the purchase Of seed, horses and i'm
plements, and those who have tried it
have yet to find any one SO accommo-
dating as to supply these to penniless
man without security or cash in hand.
Then, after the crop is planted, there is
an interval of about six to eight months
before it can be harvested and mar
keted, and in that time the mans
living must be provided for, neces-
sarily on credit, since he was PEN
nileSs at the start. Here, then, we
have man commencing on farm
handicapped at the start by debts for
every thing he has, and to say that
in five years time, with such an out
look, any one can earn thousand
acres Of land and twenty thousand dol
lars worth Of property is the sheerest
sort of nonsense, as many man can
testify who has made the experiment
of attempting to grub" living out
of the soil with insufficient capital to
begin with. Such statements as this
are injurious in the extreme, as giving
an entirely false idea of the ease with
which farmer may accumulate prop
erty. II is the work Of an ordinary
lifetime, even when commencing with
considerable capital, for any one to
achieve the results set forth as reached
in five years by penniless man.-SGn
