Investigated the effect upon soldiers
OF regular marching in disciplined
bodies. The uniformity Of the sol.
dier's step causes the indefinite repe-
tition Of a shock Of the brain and
bones, and consequently the mode Of
motion is far more deleterious than
IN irregular walk. He attributes the
peculiar aches and pains often felt
by the men to the fact that the same
