New England coast.
 The comment of the press on the health h-giving propensities of modern motoring has led to an investigation or the underlying causes ''As near as can figure it out" says London physician, in a report received at the Regal factory, "the scientific fact is that the circulation is stimulated by the increased pressure of the wind act1ng on the body, the effect being ennanced, moreover, by variations in It's force. The effect is very similar to massage; the entire body yielding to the invigorating contact. The cheeks at first take on slightly white tinge, owing to the little blood vessels of the skin being somewhat con- strlcted; the color deepening a little later to healthy flush as the vessels become enlarged in response to the in- creased supply of oxygen. This brain also and as it responds quickly the reJuvenat1ng process starts with out delay. The unusual quantity of oxygen in the system has the result of banishing depression and moodi- ness as we'll as soothing nerves. The fact that modern autOm 0 piles are of low design and safe construction con- tributes to the sense of security which relieves the mind of worry and makes possible complete enjoyment. By means of motoring fresh ideas are brought to the mind of the patient and his efficiency increases. The in- fluence of new surroundings, pleasant acQua1ntances and change of con- ditions is most beneficial. The result ant stimulating effect on our systems removes much that tends to despOil our lives of their natural vivacity and brightness. Among the noticeable re- sults of motoring is it's power for cur- ing insomnia. As the human system has been prepared by the soothing effect on the nerves, the gentle exer- else of certain faculties, combined with the calling into action of others, induces a healthy coordination and restfuI. fatigue. As insomnia is usual ly due to the over activity of the brain after the activity of the body has ceased. the effect of the restful diversion which motoring affords is to bring them into closer harmony and induce perfect sleep. Of the ailments caused by. germs that can be benefited by motoring. there are many. Fresh air and sunlight are inimical to many germs and advantage of this fact is taken in the treatment of various dis eases. It ig therefore, not surprising that motoring has proved a most use- full agent in the treatment of these germ produced diseases The germs cannot live. in a human body that re- ceives proper exercise, food and an ample supply of oxygen. AS dandruff and badness of the head are often produced by germs the trouble may not be alleviated but often cured by open air driving in motor car. It must not be inferred that motoring is cure for. everything but there is no denying the fact that, looked at from the broad point of view, motoring IS undoubtedly healthy and heating ing"
