Lack OF muscular exercise Is the first
result OF ly ing Ia bed. AS result the
appetite IL weakened. the digestive ac-
tion slows down and the muscles OF
the stomach and abdomen cease TO act
upon the intestinal mass. When the
body is in. recumbent position the
heart works with the least expendi-
ture OF effort and the least fatigue and
the circulation and the functional actiy-
ity are decreased. But unless the sub
ject Is exceptionally vigorous all the
benefits are counterbalanced by dan
gers. In bed the subject Is shut away
from fresh air and sunlight. The re-
suit OF that deprivation Is a condition
similar TO Anaemia. But the supreme
menace 10 the weak or the aged con-
fined to bed is the clogging OF the pull
monary circulation. an action which
frequently results In passive conges-
tion OF both sides OF the lungs. For
this reason the simple fracture Of a
bone may be the cause OF death, be-
