About Deep Breathing.

Many people act on the principle that
because deep breathing causes dizzi.
ness it does not agree with them. But
if they will practice the breathing less
vigorously they will find that gradual
ly they can take all the deep breaths
they want without the slightest dis
comfort. Take ten breaths in ten Sec
onds and gradually decrease the num-
Der of inhalations.
