More exercise than I have indicated
! inpairs the delicate organisms OF the
| excessive wheeling. II causes conges-
ton OF that organ. which soon becomes
chronic and IS then followed by vaivu-

| (the tricuspid valve).
This condition OF the heart causes the
lungs, kidneys and liver 20 become cen

ways. The intense nervous strain en-
tailed by the constant anxiety To avert
danger and the poison produced by the

IN France men who are known TO be
constant riders Of the wheel are reject
ed for army service because of the
weakened condition of the heart that it
| inevitably brings.
On alighting from the wheel, unless
the body is IL normal condition. there
should be no indulgence in cold drinks.
At such times even the beverages least
harmful in themselves are very dan
gerous. and the drinking of them is at
tended with grave periis.
When the wheelwoman whose COM
pleXion is under most circumstances
flawless sees discolorations appear on
the face it indicates that the liver and
kidneys are not in good working order.
In riding a wheel the cyclists face is
SC exposed necessarily that the skin alb
serbs the heat. This causes a burning
and consequent hardening of the cpl
dermis. To obviate this a good retiring
cream should be applied 10 the face be

1t would be just as well for the cyclist
who is fond OF ascending a steep grade
at a good pace to remember the lesson
taught by that supposedly least inteli
gent of animaIs-the mule, When the
mule goes UP a hill the longer and
sleeper the ascent the slower he plods.
Eminent physicians who have studied
the sport of wheeling from the hygienic
point of view are agreed that bicycling,
like mountain climbing. accelerates the
action of the heart and thus it quickens
the pulse BY taking too violent exer-
else on the wheel the pulse sometimes is
made to beat as often as 140 times a
minute Should the strained exercise
continue enlargement of the heart en-
sues. and fatal results are inevitable.
The greater the age Of the rider the

taken into serious consideration by ardent
wheelwomen They Apply to men, too.
but my present remarks are especially
designed for women: consequently I
mention them bicycling should therefore
be taken up only by women whose
hearts and lungs are in the best natural
condition and should. even by them. be
INDUCED in only in moderation.
Before going out for a ride the wom-
ar who is careful of her skin will apply
to it some rose cream which has been
mixed with lotion Of known purity.
This should be put on with a damp
Turkish washcloth. rubbed very gently
over the face over this application
pure face powder should be gently laid

On returning home either on a sunny
or windy day wipe from the complex

the pores exude with the perspiration.
To do this. take a damp Turkish wash
