strengthens the heart, thereby causing
that great organ to pump the fluids OF
the body to tho remotest corners and
thereby improving nutrition and causing
all the other organs to do their natural
work and to take n delight, soto speak,
in doing their natural work.
This nutrition nbundantly supplies the
body with power and furnishes material
for the combustion which, when suffi-
ciently strong gives the body the ability
to resist chills. which are the natural
enemies Of life. A prerequisite to the
successful effect OF exercise Is oxygen.
