the lips pressed gently together inhale
deeply and evenly through the nostrils
until the lungs are quite filled with air
Then let the arms drop to their norma
position as the air is allowed TO escape
gradually through the mouth. Repeat this
exercise three times, resting an interval
before another repetition.
Not infrequently it happens that one IN
accustomed to breathing deeply will expe-
rience dizziness, and to overcome this slap
the cheeks vigorously, thus bringing the
blood to the surface and away from the
brain.
THE abdo Hnal muscles help TO force the
diaphragm back to its normal position, and
as it is the largest muscle of respiration a
great deal depends on its acting properly
Be careful TO notice that the abdomen is
pushed out in inhaling, and sinks back as
the breath is expelled.
This exercise VIII help you to get this
movement of the abdominal muscles: Place
the palms Of the hands on the abdomen,
take deep breath through the nostrils.
allowing the abdomen 10 swell so percepti-
bly, that the raising of the hands is no.
ticeable, then force the air out of the
lungs suddenly by a voluntary contraction
Of the abdominal muscles. Still retaining
the position, draw the air In slowly, and
expei it through the mouth in little puffs.
For enlarging the throat, as well as con-
tinuing the work done by the previous ex-
ercise, after filling the lungs give the sound
of the letter ''g'-not the name but the
sound merely-and making it in such a
way that the abdominal muscles are ac-
lively exerted. Three times this may be
done with taking a new breath. The
sounds of the letters "b'' and sd" should
be done in the same way.
How long should one practice?" The
wisest way is to devote five minutes about
five times during the day, at least, until
the organs are perceptibly strengthened.
II is as bad to overdo as to come tardy
off"
1t seems hardly necessary 10 caution in
telligent people against overeating, yet
such a number do It that some caution
ought to be administered.
Regular habits keep the whole physical
makeup in good order. and have of neces-
sity a great influence on the voice. Much
use of the voice Immediately after eating
sleeping or bathing is to be avoided; in
fact. at any time when the flow of the
blood is greatly accelerated or any special
set of muscles are actively at work it is
not wise.
The very frequent use Of smelling salts is
not beneficial. Lemons, to clear the voice
before reading or singing. should be re-
paced by the beaten white of an egg
sweetened a little. Slight sore throat is
helped by a little sulphur blown down.
But the throat is too delicate for much
home doctoring. Get a physician who
knows all about it if any unusual cold set
ties there.
Plenty of rest food and air should keep
our threats in order. God fashioned us so
that these remedies would be sufficient for
most of our needs We have somewhat
spoiled His work, and now the best thing
we can do is to get back to our former
state. and then obey natural laws.

correct. The natives have can and viii

me too long to write it's history in this
