SIT ON THE FLOOR.
This Method Declared to BE the Most
Healthy and Comfortable.
Irroyo tha Memphis Scimitar


An eminent English physician, Sir James
Crichton Browne, who has wonderful ap-
titude for making medical subjects inter-
esting TO the public at large, announces
that men and women would derive great
benefit from sitting on the floor instead
of on chairs Women would beneft even
more than men by the practice.
TIL position of sitting on the floor or the
around is more natural than that of sit-
ting ON a chair. 1t was once general with
The entire human race. II is both healthy
and natural.
The exercise of getting up from and
down to the floor IS beneficial Through
the general adoption of the sitting posi-
ton among the civilized races many mus
cles have become stiff or obsolete. Per-
sons who sit on the floor have strong back
and thigh muscles. Turks, tailors and
shoernakers are examples of this fact
II you sit on the floor you can change
your attitude as often as you please, and
can enjoy an endless variety of pose, ana,
however, there Is never any chance OF
your falling Off. II you sit on the floor
YOU can achieve all kinds Of comfortable
positions which IL is impossible to obtain
even with the easiest OF easy chairs. The
influx OF visitors need never cause anxiety
to the well-eonstituted mind on the sub
ject OF chairs All he has to provide Is a
quantity of cushions--cushions OF every
size and shape. Let guests select any
they please, and It VIII be their own fault
II they are not comfortable and happy.
It is. Of course, only desirable to sit on
a clean floor.
