manner, you will know that rich soil has been in some way neglected if it does not produce good crops. It is different with a man who is really sick, and with soil that is really poor. The man needs a doctor, and the soil needs to be fertilized. But as fertilization will not, without the aid of the gardener's spade and hoe, bring from the poor soil the desired crop, neither will the doctor, even with his medicine be able to restore the sick man to health without the aid of the proper food. And as the rich soil, in our first premise, will eventually become poor if not properly fertilized while under repeated cultivation, so will a healthy man eventually lose his vitality and strength if his system is not daily treated with the proper food and drink.

Having thus stated our question, we hope the reader will follow us into the details of our effort.

The first thing a man should do after getting out of bed in the morning, is to stand erect, with his heels as close as he can possibly bring them together, but at an angle of forty or forty-five degrees. Having this done, his next move should be to lift his outstretched arms in as nearly a perpendicular a position as possible to the joints of his shoulders. Then closing his fists as tightly as he can, let him raise them gradually, but firmly, until he has brought them parallel with his head; extending his chest and distending his abdomen and stomach at the same time, and finishing by bringing his arms down, in a backward direction parallel with his sides. This exercise done gently two or three times will tend very greatly to put in motion a proper circulation of the blood. Besides this, it will give to the chest, abdomen, limbs, stomach, muscles, lungs and nervous system, an endurance that will be very valuable in older a^e.
