55T was in the early dawn of the morn
ing when Doctor Penrose and thl
writer, sitting together, were DC
4 cupants OF IA scat in a railroad car or
1 a train that had stopped at little
village station.
81 A little way in the distance were the
fireman and engineer OF 4 locomotive
getting their engine in readiness for
their daily run.
With little to occupy our attention
the Doctor remarked:
81 never see an engineer caring FOR
his engine without thinking that equal
attention given to the physical system
would enable the average OF all men to
live one hundred years. ~. =
..yVatch himsin his work" he contin-
.ued. ..see the clear bright coal he
uses Of certain quality. That is Il
intense heat, burns up clean and is
int nseheat, burns up clean and is
excellent for making steam
t.There is lesson for every person
in that. We ought to eat a food that
will quickly digest. We thus add vig'"
tosthe system. I &...5
For that engineer to fill his fire box
r - ~
with fuel very slow and difficult 10
burn is like filling the stomach with
soggy indigestible food"
See the bright and vigorous fire that
The. has burning, owing to prope:
selection of fuel
Watch him still further. He is now
removing the ashes. That is a regular
part of the mornings work. 1t IS
equally Important in the physical sys-
TEN, that the wastes be removed daily.
There should never be failure to re-
move the ashes
7 s"sSee that engineer continue to wall;
/ around his engine. See him open that
4 stop cock, and that faucet. See him
4 Try all the aperatures to see that they
are all open and in working order.
81 s.The wise man in the care of health
does the same"
..Immediately after arising there
This is followed by a drop
ping off of the nightgown and
a quick touching Of all parts of the
! skin with the wet hands. This is sue
& ceeded by immediate wiping with a
& soft towel. Then follows n VICIOUS
rubbing Of all parts of the body, until
{ the skin is Aall aglow with this self
massage every morning
..The effect of this brisk rubbing is
to keep the pores of the skin all open.
The consequence is that impurities in
the body can and do pass away
through the pores, or innumerable
openings in the skin. Such morn
ing rub and massage as this is is equal
in beneficial effect to two hours exer-
else"
''Now comes dressing and going
forth Immediately into the fresh morn
ing air. He steps outside the door
and slowly drawing a long breath
takes in a large quantity of the fresh
ozone of the air. He holds this air
in his lungs where the blood reused
into activity by the rubbing is coming
quickly to meet this fresh ozone of the
morsing and receive thus the vivica-
ton that is necessary to make pure
blood
Zone healthy man inhales and cN-
hales air filling his lungs to their ut
most capacity, pounding them in the
meantime, while filled with air, to Ell
large their capacity"
with the pores of the skin kept
open thus with daily rubbing of the
skin to induce regular and even circ:!-
lation of the blood. With deep and
strong breathing of pure air while ,-le
blood is so actively circulating puts the
blood into the healthiest possible con-
dition, strengthens the lungs and eff.
fectually wards off disease"
"But see that engineer go round and
round his locomotive. He is fearful
that there may be some aperture that
has escaped him. He continues to test
