chest. Further, that It's effect on the b ok and
chest is positively barmful-a proposition
which those who have noticed the attitude OF
habtual "scorcherS" will not be disposed to
deny.
The humpback attitude is conceded by all to
be ungraceful and pernicious In its effect, but
the added speed acquired by assuming this
position affords sufficient reason In the ey s OF
many young men for disregarding all other con-
