A Well
Developed
Form

A good set of muscles is one of the
most excellent qualifications which any
person can possess. There is no posi-
ton in life for which they unfit one, and
there is none which they will not enable
one to fill to better advantage than he
otherwise could do. There are thous-
and and one emergencies in life in which
strong. vigorous, and well-trained mas
cles are of enormous service, and in
which their use may be of incalcuable
value. Proper physical culture gives,
not only increased physical strength, but
greater dexterity, suppleness, and grace
of movement. The person who walks
with shutting, swaying, and awkward
gait, does SO, not on account OF any
original defect in his physical makeup,
but through the weakness of certain
muscles which, by disuse, have become
unable to do their part in the act OF
walking, and so render him unable tol
perform it in an easy and graceful manfs
