About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1856 edition. Excerpt: ...the air is heavier and denser, and will act much more powerfully in expanding the chest. Always, when stretching open the chest with air, throw the head back, so as to lift up the breastbone, and bend the whole bust backwards from the waist. You may, in this manner, expand the chest a thousand times a day, if you please. On going out-doors into cold air, inhale or suck in all the air you can, and hold it in as long as possible; stand or sit perfectly erect, whilst walking or riding in the street, along the roads, in the fields, or gardens. Practise this mode of expanding the chest. Do not stoop forward at all, but suck in all the air you can, throwing the head and neck backwards, and hold in the air as long as possible. By this exercise, you will often at ones check a cough, or disposition to cough. The chest may also be fully expanded whilst lying in bed. By exercising the chest in this manner, it will soon become very flexible and expansible, and will enlarge its capacity and the size of the lungs, so as, in a few weeks or months, to hold double its usual quantity of air, whilst, externally, it will measure from one to six inches larger in its circumference. Should you not have full strength to enlarge the chest in this way, then use an inhaling tube, such as I have delineated in Plate G. The inhaling tube will gTeatly assist you in expanding the chest, if you are weak or not. The chest should be treated in way during your whole lives. Should you become invalids, from any cause, keep your chests expanded by long breaths and the inhaling tube, and continue to breathe a little cold fresh air daily, by having it drawn frotn out of doors, by leather or tin pipes, or in any other manner you please. BAD CONSEQUENCES FROM USING THE INHALING TUBE, AND...
