Perfect health, while conducive to
mental serenity and soundness, has not
been shown to promote or produce de-
cided activity of intellect. The abso-
lutely healthy man is more likely to ex-
eel in the baseball field, more apt to de-
velop into a being whose extreme type
of animal perfection is found in a Sulli-
van, than to become a Humboldt or a
Herschel. Perfect Drawn has not been
shown to lead to gifted brains. The man
whose body is perfect machine, an
swering to all demands upon it, con-
ferring the keenest pleasures in life upon
its possessor, is the man to win fame in
fields where mere brain work is not the
desidcratum. He will be foremost to
launch new enterprises and in opera
tons demanding risk, bodily exertions,
physical strain. These he will do be-
cause therein he finds a safety valve for
his surplus vitality. He could not en-
dure the sedentary life which the close
student or the successful merchant finds
absolutely necessary for the conduct of
his professional or business duties.
But, on the other hand, the man whose
erratic liver or complaining stomach re-
minds him of the shortness and uncer-
tainty of things mundane, will be the
prudent, thoughtful, calculating and
generally successful business man. The
man whose imperfection of bodily health
gives him no hope of enjoying life as he
otherwise would, will, according to the
divine law of compensation, find, in the
exercise of his mental faculties, what his
healthy brethren find in pleasures of the
senses. If his tastes lie in the line of
money getting, his admonishing liver or
stomach help to make him shrewd, close,
calculating and prudent; make him look
ahead and prepare for reverses and the
Ill fortune that he cannot Danish from
his mind as the almost inevitable end of
the battle of life Obeying his inward
monitors, he will assume no risks
where the healthyman would court such
In the fullness of his self confidence
and so the chronic victim of "a disordered
body will achieve success in business,
and, though at no time brilliant man,
will not end his days in poverty. So,
too, will the intellectually active man,
abandoning hope Of perfect physical
health, achieve fame and distinction in
fields of thought. There is much to be
SAID in favor of the advantages of imper-
feet Misunderstanding Bulletin.
