HOW TO GET STRONG
CHAT WITH PROF. SMITH
ON PHYSICAL CULTURE.
lie Doesn't Believe in over
doing Excrcisc---McritS OF
the Dumb-Bcll Drill.

There are few men in this city who
have made more careful study OF athle-
tics. az viewed from q scientific stand
point. than Professor II. F. Smith, the
physical instructor OF the Young Men
Christian Association. In the Pymna-
sum he has no equal here, while as a
teacher and disciplinarian he Is equally
az valuable. He believes in exercise,
bnt thinks that it should he taken pru-
IDENTIFY and with equally rs much care as
one would use in the application OF
medicine.
4 few DAYS ago a representative OF the
DISPATCH asked the Professor Tor ms
views as TO the best course OF exercise
for a closely-confned businessman, with
limited time and still more limited
strength. In other words, the reporter
wished TO find tonic for his muscular
and nervous system.
Don't ovERDO THE THING.
The scientific" athlete laughed at
the idea Of l0-pound dumb-bells, which
were mildly suggested as a possible
means for obtaining strength, and sad
There are numerous forms OF eyer-
else. any Of which intelligently applied
would fit your case-special pieces OF
apparatus suited for distinct purposes
too numerous 10 meutiOn-but the ten
dcncv Of the new member OF the gym
nasinm is to overdo. Now, my advice
10 YOU is to take up some natural forms
If exercise requiring no apparatus
exercise which will demand co-Opera-
ton Of brain and muscle, which calls for
graceful movement and systematic pro-
erosion.
"The primo object Of apparatus Is to
serve as an incentive to exercise. II has
been proven that without apparatus
every muscle of the human body may
be exercised and the system kept in a
healthy state, the only condition being
that the movements employed befounded
upon scientific principles and are used
intelligcntly and perslstently.
TIE DUNB-BELL DRILL.
Tho best form OF exercise, al things
considered" SAID Professor Smith, is
the dumb bcn drill. The bells used are
Of wood and weigh one pound each,
sometimes even lighter, and the adj
vantage Of this system lies IN the fact
that once having mastered the different
movements You are IN possession OF q
means of exercise which is always avala-
bic. You commit II to memory, become
perfectly familiar with its form
and combination, aud as the basis
OF our language "a the alphabet,
So the Foundation OF all manner
Of exercise Is the simple, NATURAL
movement Of the muscles, free ana un-
trammellod. Next TO this drill | would
advise the system Of pulley weights.
There are many different styles, all
having their distinct Offices. Among
these are the chCst-weight, designed spe-
cially for the upper portion OF the chest,
arms. and back the intercoStal weight,
which wIdens and deepens the diameters
Of the chest tie side and loin weight,
affecting the parts from which It derives
It's name the quarter circle, a piece OF
apparatus designed for the iutercostal
AMI abdominal muscles. The giant
pulley, neck, wrist, small OF back and
rowing machines all afford means Tor
all-round development.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1893-01-29


81 place the above-nnmcd pieces rs
second 10 the dunb-beH drill, because
the possibilities Of the drill are only
limited by the powers OF movement OF
the muscles, while the movements pos
slble on any piece Of apparatus are
limited by the apparatus itself. / also
recommend the dumb-bCll drill because
it requires DO apparatus, and therefore
can be execute at any time AMI IN any
place-at home, IN the Office, IN the
hotel. or ON the road. You always have
a gymnasium with you.
"Now, let me tell you few things
about the drill IN a specific way ln order
to support my enforcement. The first
point which claims attention IS Its -ys-
tcmatic combination. There are five
divisions: l, Free exercises ,, leg eN-
crci-es: 3, body exercises; T., arm eX-
crcises, and 3, extension exercises. Ii
begins light, and like a 'crescendo IN
music. the highest point is reached IN
the body exercises, or middle series,
and then, like the 'diminu ndo, 1t de
creases III power t. the end. The heart
is gradually given extra work aud not
subjected to violent cyertOn from the
beginning. 1t Is scientific. Zach move
mcut is designed for specific purpose
ami the effect is localized. Every move
mcut is tested fully on that basis.
ApNrFp To THF STRONG AND THE WEAK.
lit is adapted to the strong and TO
the weak, a person beng left free to eX-
pend whatever amount OF energy de-
sired in its execution said the Pro-
fcssor. BOYS may use It with the best
results. and, by modifying 1t somewhat,
ladies' would derive great benefit by ITS
use. The effect is equally distributed.
| One set IF muscles are sufficiently ex-
crcised and then another set taken mp.
| One portion of the body being used
more than another, the series are ar
ranged to meet this need, and all
/ the effort used Is concentrated
upon the spec al part Of the body under
consideration, the remaining portions
remaining practically at rest. 1t de-
Nelops the whole body. as we'll as imparts
| graceful movement and carriage. 1t Is
| one Of the best mediums of exercise foi
singers. public speakers, and other:
whose duties call for continued and
almost exhaustive use Of the breathing
powers. All the above and much more
is true of this wonderful system OF ma
tural movements, and 1t only requires OF
the pupil an intelligent conception and
persistent use in order to prove OF ines
timable value"
Professor Smith teaches this drill, and
is considered by Professor il. j. 10
berts. of Boston. its originator, to be
the best exponent of the system IN the
country-second only to himself. \ few
lessons. studiously taken, viii famlllarize
the average man with its intricacies,
and then the person will be in posses.
