NATURAL BREATHING HELPS
 CIRCULATION

An adult at rest brcathes about five quarts | of air a minute. In the same time about five quarts of blood Will be pumped through the , lungs.
 During physical activity the volume of air breathed increases much more than does the volume of blood pumped through the lungs With great eXertion an adult may breathe as much as fifty quarts of air minute, but In the same time only 20 or 25 quarts of blood will pass through the lungs
 It is now known that as a rule given blood corpuscle makes the complete circuit of the | circulation in minute. In man. In small animals the speed of the circulation is greater say half g minute in large animals 1t Is slower, in the horse two or three minutes In man the factor of dominent importance, according to Prof Yande Henderson, well known authority on artificial respiration Is the amount of oxygen consumed by the body. This determines the volume of the circulation. In the athlete. as in the patient with heart dis ease, the limit on physical eXcrtion Is set by the capacity of the heart to pump sufficient blood through the lungs to supply the oxygen required by the active tissues.
 Having given the question quarter of a century of study Br Henderson has come to the conviction that the return of the blood from tho veins to the right side of the heart is determined by the "tonus' or elasticity or all the muscles of the body which during con traction squeeze or press upon the veins, put especially the muscles of the belly Gront @ wa, val derson, regret to note, does not call 'em belly muscles, but I live in hope that he may learn to use the term).
 
 ologist find great satisfaction. It seems to fit in so well with the belly breathing exercise which freely recommend to persons with cold feet high blood pressure, pelvic and alSdom- nal troubles. l should think 1t might give some consolation to pr Celia Duel Mosher of Stanford university, and to Dr l. Rappaport of New York city, and to Dr Samuel Delano of New Britain, for all of these physicians have advocated similar natural breathing exer' else.
 Moderate or everyday exposure to cold nor. maly produces increased pulse rate and Prof Henderson observes that presumably the vol ume of the circulation increases with the pulse. He regards shivcring as "excessive tonus. just mention this as reinsurance. Myself, ike to stand reasonable cold. even to the point or shivering a bit, rather than wrap up or turn on the heat; l believe it is better for any or dinary persons health to be little chilly than 1t is to be little too warm.
 Anyway, by the careful and deliberate prac- tice of the belly breathing exercise, just Tor half dozen breaths two or three times a day' one can improve ones circulation. and that's that. If you want instructions for this, ask TOT the Belly Breathing exercise and incose stamped envelope bearing your address.
