The Use and Abuse of n Wheel.

The bicycle is pretty generally re-
gsrded not only as a cheap and ready
means of recreation, available by the
masses of the people, young and old,
but also as a health giving exercise
especially to those whose occupations are
| of a sedentary character, aud to those
| threatened with nervous disorders or who
are suffering therefrom. But the wheel
may, instead of proving the blessing it
| ought to be and would be if proper rules
were observed in its use, promises to be
| Injurious to many who disregard these
rules.
DIR. William Dsruell, in the April
number of the Medical Brief, discourses
upon this subject and points out two
Injurious ss%results of improper bicycle
riding. One is Il the depressed handle bar,
which operates to contract the chest and
so to prevent the expansion of the lungs,
which should have the f~uellest play, and
besides TO some extent iDterferes by the
| pressure thus exerted with the action of
the heart, which becomes overworked.
The final result, he points out, is a o
dition of h~ypertrophy, the most important
organ of life is weakened and untitled for
duty and the rider becomes a round
shouldeTed, hollow chested deformity.
The other Injuries referred to are
caused by the saudle, and are also of a
very serious character. The whole region
affected by the contact is permeated by
an inextricable meshwork of nervou:
elements highly organized and very
delicate aud sensitive Ii an improper
saddle is used-one with the pommel-
the ~cutaneous nerve terminals are cou
stantly irritsted by the undue friction,
which may in time develop into a per-
manent disorder of delicate organs.
He recommends the use of only straight
handle bars and the maintenance OF ar
upright position while in the saddle, AND
that the latter should be without a pom,
mel. Natures laws cannot be violated,
he says, with impunity. A bad saddle,
the forward position in riding, overtaxing
the strength by long rides and an abuse
of the wheel. especially by women, will
be followed, he holds, by untold suffer
ing. 'It is time" he concludes, "that
physicians should study the question Of
the use and the abuse of the bicycle 81
that a timely word of warning may b
given"
