Rensselaer Republican, Volume 19, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 September 1886 — To Develop the Lungs. [ARTICLE]

To Develop the Lungs.

If a person’s lungs are not well developed, the health will be imperfect, but the development may be increased several inches in a few months by daily out-door running with tjie mouth closed, beginning with twenty yards and back, at a time, increasing ten yards every week, until a hundred are gone over thrice a day. A substitute for ladies and persons in cities, is running up stairs with the mouth closed, which compels very deep inspirations, in a natural way, at the end of the journey.—Cleveland Leader.
