As a rule, tall men have bodies out of proportion to their lower limbs—that is, smaller than they ought to be —with the natural result that they are unable to bear fatigue or to compete in the struggles of life with lesser men more harmoniously proportioned. Army experience bears out these observations. In a long and fatiguing march the tall men often fall out first, or succumb to campaigning, unless, as is rarely the case, they have well-knit and symmetrical frames. A man between sft sin and sft Bin or sft 9in is usually the man most capable of bearing the strain of life.

The soul, overwhelmed by bronchitis and fear. Revives in delight when the breathing comes clear, For the spirit of Nature flows comfort In fragrant Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. ns
