up The neck, hollows in the cheeks,
expanding contracted chests and cur
ing many of the minor ills which flesh
is heir to is taken thus: Stand out OF
doors in the sunshine or by an open
window, hold the chest up and inhale
through the nose as long as possible.
Exhale equally slowly. Fifteen min

effect great improvement in health
and appearance. This exercise is as
good for men as for women and is
sometimes recommended by drill SER

by way of increasing their chest meas
