This movement IS by far the most VAL
liable this list for the special defect we
are considering. 1t is rather a severe
exercise and should at first be prac-

toned to active exercise.
The third requirement. for the correc.
ton of the bony chest is to avoid all
causes of we;.kness-any act or thought
or influence which would lower the vital
ity. Late. hours, worry, excitement, over
work. negative mental states, such as
anger, fear, jealousy-all these are inim-
ical to the end in view.
