BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VoUR children, or even you
i yourself, may have been In
weighed into q set of exercises Ito
enlarge your chest
That there Is a large amount OF
pure bunk, not to say danger.
in this all-too.prevaIent practice
il made clear by Surgeon Com
mander III. r.. Hill, in charge of
physical training In the British
Navy Journal OF State Medicinel.
OF course certain amount of
exercise to develop the muscles
of the chest and shoulders Is very
important.
But. explains this distinguished
authority, one of the most strong
ly-heId fallacies In physical train.
ing il the belief that to enlarge
the chest improves the breathing.
To do this exercises are set which
straighten out the backbone,
spread-eagle the ribs and widen
the distance between the breast.
bone and the spine.
The idea Of this Is to get a big.
ger ebb and flow Of air into the
lungs. Now, unless the lungs ex.
tract the oxygen from this air and
pass 1t into the blood and tissues,
no amount Of air passing into the
lungs Is of any use. 1t might just
as well be blown over the naked
skin, or in and out Of a pair of
bellows. The amount OF oxygen
that the heart will circulate Is
! limited also, therefore It Is not the
slightest good trying to enlarge
the chest by which Is really
meant enlarging the lung capacity
without also increasing the
power of the heart.
The heart and the lungs must
work hand in hand and be treated
together. This Is best done by
graduated runs, and not by for
chilly charging the chest capacity
and leaving the heart to look after
itself.
The best way to get 4. resilient
chest cage is to practice deep
breathing, as it takes place during
and after normal exercise, and to
improve the carriage it is quite
sufficient to carry out natural
movements of the spine and to
pay attention to the position OF
the head and the body.
To enlarge the thorax arti.
ficially to make room for more
air, disregarding the normal
oxygen capacity OF the blood and
the amount of oxygen required
by the body, Is exactly like en-.
larging the abdomen and ston1.
ach to make room for more food
requirements of the body and
the digestive powers.
Every one knows enough about
stomach aches to be sure that
this attempt would lead to dis.
aster. But the other--the chest.
4 charging business--is no less dis
astrous. TO begin with, neither
the extra food nor the extra
oxygen could be used by the
body, even il you could get them
in. The body absorbs Just as
much food or air as the blood
can carry to the body cells, and
nothing in excess of that amount
can be used at all, however fulI
the lungs may be filled with air
{ or the stomach with food.
A bigger movement of the chest
can be obtained by ordinary deer
breathing than by any 0tl1ea
method. span bends or otherwise,
These only cramp the chest. And
deep breathing, as we said I'm i
former article, must be carried
out by itself, without any move.
