that physical exercise. which consisted mainly
OF mere muscular contractlons. Is OF little ben

OF any considerable service the mind must be
exercised at the samo time. Nothing is prob

man than that perfunctory exercise which he
takes not because he likes It, but because his
physician has told him that he must. After .
