''They are simply instructions about fill

turned the Professor. THE nose should be
used entirely to breathe through. The
mouth is too delicate an organ to be used
for that purpose. The lungs / regard as the
stomach for the brain, just as the other
stomach provides nutriment for the body.
Physical exercise, physical energy or work
that is not dominated by the intellect is an
injury to the body instead of a help, and
never of permanent benefit, even If it appar-
emily builds up the tissues and improves
the form. AS a proof of this theory you
may have observed that the beSt-trained
athletes never live long, and the most fex-
ible gymnast cannot keep his agility with
out constant practice. Strength and help
come through the development of intellect,
and not through expenditure of physical
energy"
