Great attitudes furnish q gymnasium
where the respiratory organs are compelled
to be exercised, and, consequently become
larger and more efficient.
Altitude, also, prevents instead of inducing
hemorrhage, as was the old opinion. This
fact has been well established by experience
and observation.
Prof NJ, W. Harrington, chief of the q. 8.

Santa Fe lies in the driest part of the
United States. This region is extensive but
changes in form from season to season.
Santa Fe is always in it. however.

OfInterest to Athletes.

James Robinson, the Athletic trainer
at Princeton college, Princeton, N. j.,
says:
II have found it imperative to have
sure and simple remedies on hand in case
of cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds,
rheumatism, etc. Shortly after entering
upon my profession, I discovered such a
remedy in Allcock's Porous Plasters.
I tried other plasters, but found them too
harsh and irritating. Allcock Porous
Plasters give most instantaneous relief,
and their strengthening power is remark
able. In cases of weak back put two
plasters on the small of the back and in
a short time you will be capable of quite
severe exercise. In Sprint and 'dis-
lance" races and jumping, the muscles
or tendons in the legs and feet sometimes
weaken. This can invariably be relieved
by cutting the plaster in narrow strips,
SO as to give free motion, and applying
on muscles affected"
