Good Health in One Simple
Exercise.

Nv II would completely regenerate
the race in a physical sense, ana
disease, especially of the pu.mon-
ary oragns, would be SO rare as to
looked upon as a curiosity.
II sounds easy enough to say
Breathe correctly ana curiously
enough, it is as easy as il sounds.
But, like many another vital help
TO health, it is passed by because
of its simplicity. The result is that
not one in a hundred, it is SAID
breathes correctly.
Generally speaking, we DO not
breathe deeply enough to let a SUI
ficient amount of air into the lungs
the lungs 10 not get enough ex-
ercise. Ana yet upon the act OF
breathing our very life depends.
We can 90 without food much long
or ami more easily, and exist even
without drinking, but without
breathing our existence is measur-
ed by a very lew moments.
When man began as a savage nc
breathei correctly, just as the
child does. But as civilization pro
crossed and he changed his form
of walking, AMI standing and sit
ting, and lived more in HOUSES thln
in the open, he became more ana
more q victim OF careless breath
ing, or really a lack OF breathing.
This is just what ais the average
man today in thousands Of cases:
he does not take breath enough in
TO his lungs. He breathes, oil
purse but he breathes incorrectly
and thus gets an insufficient
amount of fresh air into his lungs.
And it is upon the quantity OF
fresh air that does get into his
his lungs that his health depends.
The more air, the more health the
less air, the less health.
1t is our dread OF fresh air that
the terrible spread of tuberculosis
is due to our incorrect breathing
that SO much pulmonary disease ex
lists contracted chests and stoop-
ing shoulders are directly trace
able to improper breathing, while
the whole range OF "colis," and
"chills" and grippe" could be
wiped out if we would only breath
into our lungs ana take into them
properly a sufficient amount OF
= fresh air.
The Hindu found this out cen
turtles ago, ana centuries ago start
ed, what is called aYogi "science
of breath" This science has beer
handed down from generation tc
generation of the Yogi, ana whole
schools OF Oriental philosophy
have been formed upon it.
The nucleus OF this whole science
which has done SO much for tha
health OF the privileged among
Eastern races, is found in the art
of breathing, and the whole essence
of the idea is in one simple exer-
else called "The Complete Breath
SO simple is this complete
breath" when one studies it, that
it may fail to command the serious
attention it deserves. And yet il
there is such a thing as n secret
greater than all other secrets oil
good health it will be found in this
simple exercise. 1t is absolutely
complete, ana as such, perhaps the
greatest secret of good health ever
devised and given to man in a sim
gle, simple exercise.
Taking this complete breath
brings the entire respiratory ap-
paratus into action and exercises
all parts OF the lungs, causing "a
circulation OF air over all the blood
the chest cavity is expanded in al
directions, and where it differs
from other forms of breathing is
that the END of the inhalation
raises the ~collarbone ana allows
the air to pass freely into the
small upper lobe OF the right lung
which is frequently the bree ding
place for tuberculosis AMI is never
reached by the ordinary incomplete
breathing.
This complete breath will make
any man Or woman immune from
consumption ana other pulmonar!
troubles, since these troubles arr
principally iue to a lowered vital
sly attributable to inhaling an in
sufficient amount of air. Their
can be no pulmonary trouble wher'
every part of the lungs is exerci
ed and kept full of fresh air, ant
where the lung tissue is kept heal
thv ana thus affords no chance TO
the development OF germs or ba
cilli.
This complete breath loes en-
tirely away with narrow-chested
ness or the habit of iroopin
