Synopsis
Excerpt from Indoor Gymnastics Or, a System of Hygienic Exercises for Home Use: To Be Practised Anywhere Without Apparatus Or, Assistance by Young and Old of Either Sex for the Reservation of Health and General Activity
Shall the mind be strong The Body must lend it the strength.
Man is a twofold being, and consists of a marvellously intimate union of two natures, mental and physical; and he should keep both of these in activity, in order to use to the fullest both his mental and his physical powers. His whole being is constituted for this end. Those who are dull in mind, or lazy in body, long vainly for the enjoyment of men tal and physical happiness; for the real sweets of life are the reward of industry alone. The want of this brings on dullness of the whole organism, disturbance Of its action, then disease, and early death. For just as all the powers by means of suitable use are increased and kept at a certain high grade, so on the contrary, are they stunted and wasted by want of use, long before the proper time.
