Any continued paipitation of the heart

with your heart signals.

meals. where if it is taken one doesn't
masticate and does wash down mouthfuls
of food with mouthfuls OF water. This

mo advice on reducing can be COM

First of all, avoid the cold bath In

This is another iconoclastic attack
on custom, but the cold bath Is an in

The shock of the cold bath drives
the blood from the outer extremities to
the organs. so that where a hemor-
rhagic tendency exists it Is liable to-
cause hemOrrhage. and at best IL
causes congestion in some degree. More
cases of heart trouble, sctatica, kid
ney trouble, nervous indigestion and
rheumatism are traceable TO the cold
bath than to any other one cause. Many
cases of paralysis are brought on by
it's shock to the nervous system.
Although the immediate effect OF the
cold bath is exhilarating its tax on the
vitality is excessive.
The bath that follows exercise IN re-
ducing. and. indeed in any sort OF train
ing, should be tepid-a tepid shower,
gradually reduced in temperature, but
never until it Is actually cold and
chilling.
While exercising the perspiration
should not be wiped OF. Let it dow

so why should we infict them on her?
After exercising the right thing TO

What was wrong?
Just this:
'1he body must breathe through its
pores as well as its lungs. The evapora-
tions from the body contain poisonous
gases and it is necessary that they should
be thrown off entirely, not absorbed into
the clothing TO be reabsorbed by the
body.
1.-The direct effect of wearing heavy
clothing in exercising for reduction is to
bring about profuse sweating, which
must. of course, be absorbed into the

by wearing the lightest clothing possible

Hard sweating is not necessary to

Fat feeds muscle through the fatty
globules being taken into the blood, so
that a person who has excessive fat will
develop muscle more quickly than a

paid to measurements than to weight in

of reduction is to attain symmetry. The
