The cosaer Stone Of Health.

"Exercis ;, said q physician the other

the corner. stone of health. 1t differs
essentially from work, in which the
fundamental idea is that of labor. On
the CONTRARY, the idea of exercise is
based upon activities undertaken for
the benefit of the body or mind, some
form OF exertion intended to promote
health or furnish amusement. Work
Is essentially toll, even though it be
congenial. Exercise, on the other hand.
ls purely recreation. If exercise be
taken only from a sense of duty, it loses
the distinguishing feature of exercise
and becomes work. A course of exer-
else, say cycling, should be carried on
by easy stages. Exercise is tonic and
therefore benefit is not to be derived
from single dose. If ctive exercise
Is necessary as hygienic measure,
what form is best? You cannot per-
suade your patients to run, it is so un-
dignified or to saw wood, it is too la
borious. But if you can persuade them
to ride wheel, you have cured them
if 1t is exercise they need" The wheel
was then discussed from the thera-
puetic point of view in this way: sac
tive exercise may be divided into three
classes, those requiring strength, speed
and stamina, and they all increase in
common the circulation OF the blood.
Exercises requiring the exartion of
strength are more fatiguing than those
OF speed. Cycling car be adapted to

III MS paper. one OF the most common

Ill MS paper. One OF the most common
observations made by medical men, he
said, was that the long, narrow, fiat
chested individual was the one liable to
the development of tuberculosis and
that in patients presenting this form of
chest the chances for recovery were re-
duced to minimum.
This observation he considered suffi-
Gent to suggest that systematic physical
training in aiding the development of
the respiratory muscles, thoracic walls
and pulmonary capacity would be of
great service in preventing tuberculosis
and in curing its early stages. Collapsed
air cells, be said, furnished most ia.
vorable indus for the development Of
tuberculosis. Therefore for the preyen-
tion of the disease measures should be
adopted to expand the lungs and bring
the air cells into the best possible work.
ing condition.
He thought it probable that in most
cases there was an early tuberculous
localized anemia, diminishing the nutri-
ton of the parts and making them more
susceptible to the tubercle bacilli and
their toxins. OF the large percentage of
the human family said to be affected by
tuberculosis $50 per cent?, the majority
recovered, even when the disease affect
ed the lungs it not proving fatal in
more than IL per cent.
He stated that in most of those who
recovered the disease had made but lit
tie progress, and that it was only at
autopsy after death from other causes
that its presence was detected, in view
of which it was the physicians duty to
recommend measures likely to strength
en- the resisting power of the lungs.
The beneficial influence of high alti-
tude he considered probably due to che
increased distension of the air vessels,
and that as means Of prophylaxis the
first measure should be to teach the pa
tient to breathe deeply.
Careful physical training, he said,
was of the greatest Importance, it being
possible for the long, narrow, fat chest.
ed to increase the expansion of the chest
two or three inches, improve the form
and increase the circumference. He be-
lieyed it possible by physical develop
ment to check the process of tuberculosis
when it had become established in the
chest and to promote recovery.-Med-

MURDERED SEVEN PERSONS.
Startling Confession Made by Pate Burton,

before Burton was captured. AT the
trial he was found guilty. but appealed.
The verdict was sustained and Burton
is to hang on March "a. He has made
a confession which is startling, but as
many part are corroborated it is be-
lieved.
He says that after many narrow es-
capes he was ARRESTED, but baked the
officer out of fslding him. He after
ward espied deputy looking for him
and he secreted himself. killed the Off
Ger and took his rifle. Burton says that
he and Kit Robinson killed the tank
tender on the East and West Texas
road and burned the body. They OBJ
tanned SAL. Robinson was convicted
for this and hanged. At Cold Springs
he killed a peddler, for which crime ar
innocent negro named Fisher was
hanged, he says. In this murder he
and his partner secured 500. They
reached Arkansas, where his partner
broke his leg, and realizing that he
would be captured, Burton killed him.

gally executed, two men We're lynched
