The parts Of the body through
which the blood flows actively are
never fat The midsummer is a good
time OF the year 10 flood the waste
fat places in the body with blood,
by discreet exercises In the cool
mornings and evenings, OF course,
avoiding the midday heat.
Midsummer Is a school time to
teach the body the arts which Z has
neglected Besides perspiration and
active circulation, the heavy bodied
person can learn what he OF she
should always have known. but sell

Moreover. their exercise makes
