Few of those who shake the hands of
public men on occasions of receptions held
in their honor realize the effect of this
process if long continued upon the person
who submits to it, Inquiry OF them would
often elicit the fact that there We're swol-
len hands or strained muscles and badly
afflicted nerves as its result. President
Polk had an experience of this kind which
led him to study into the art of shaking
hands for his own protection, and this is
his conclusion with regard to it, set down
in his private diary:
IF man surrendered his hand to be
shaken by one horizontally, by another
perpondicularly and by another with a
strong grip, be could not fail to suffer Sc
verely from it, but if he would shake and
not be shaken, grip and not be grippcd,
taking care always to squeeze the hand of
his adversary as hard as the adversary
squeezes him, he would suffer no inconven
ience from il. l can generally anticipate
strong grip from a stronger man, and l
then take advantage of him by being
quicker than he and Selling him by the
tip of his fingers"
This has the obvious advantage of
demonstrating cordiality on the part of
those who thus heartily grasp hands held
