very beneficial one. Faster walking, walking uphill, coupled with slow running is much more beneficial. But the patients with gangrenous legs were benefitted by slow walking, they saved their legs.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. How much better it would be if everyone made a habit of exercise, preventive exercise, which increases the circulation and the respiration and prevents most heart and arterial diseases before they start, and lessens the severity of arterial and veinous difficulties. Here's another quote from Today's Health, which illustrates this prevention point.

"Exercise is good for the human heart." Chicks were fed diets which produce atherosclerosis, the clogging of the arteries with fatty deposits. Half were made to exercise twice daily for 30 minutes, the others rested. The exercising chicks had less cholesterol (a fatlike material in their blood) and less atherosclerosis."-Dr. Harry Y. C. Wong and Associates, Howard University College of Medicine.

Where did modern doctors get this erroneous idea of bed rest for most Cerany sort of physical ailment? tainly this mistaken idea has killed. millions of people who would have lived long and useful lives. During all of the years of Strength and Health magazine, a quarter of a century, we have been writing of the value of exercise as a curative and preventative measure in disease and injury. In the early years of S & H, most doctors prescribed complete bed rest for most any troublesome physical condition. We wrote about this situation endlessly, but we were a very small voice in the sea of misinformation. Our voice grew as first one leading educator, a leading medical man, became sold on the value of exercise, soon like a rolling snowball with their voices added to ours, it became a big movement, enough so that nearly all modern doctors now recommend exercise to their patients. At one time surgery patients stayed in bed for weeks and months, even after child birth, women stayed in bed for weeks.

Prolonged bed rest conflicts directly with normal physiologic con-

ditioning. Bed rest robs the body of chalk, causing negative calcium balance. It weakens the tone of blood vessels and wastes the voluntary muscles. It leads to constipation, impairment of appetite, bed sores and pneumonia. Older readers will remember our story, "What Killed Wendell Wilkie." Wendell Wilkie was the Republican candidate for the Presidency. After a hard campaign he was a bit tired so went to a hospital for an examination. They said that nothing was wrong with him but that a good rest in bed would do him good. While resting in the hospital he contracted pneumonia and died. Thus prolonged bed rest deprived this country of one of its ablest men who was just in the prime of his life.

Endlessly we brought out the point that even a strong man who remains in bed will lose his strength so that he can not even walk. How could anyone become cured remaining constantly in bed. which was the old method of cure? Over the years, we offered countless cases of those who had overcome the most serious ills In fact, by progressive exercise. many of our early weight-lifting champions became champions because they took up the practice of weight training to overcome their diseased or weakened hearts, their consumptive lungs, and other organic weaknesses. They cured themselves, and then went on to become the strongest men and the best lifters in America.

Through the centuries there has been unlimited evidence to show that exercise is not only a wonderful preventive of disease but the best cure known. Yet in this age when we have jet planes, marvelous automobiles, radio and television, there are still doctors who say that exercise is not necessary. Why? Do they really believe this, or do they oppose exercise because they know it will decrease their business? I fear the latter is the truth, for the weight of evidence so well illustrates the value of exercise in preventing and curing most every physical ailment. This problem was very much on my mind so in spending a quiet weekend, I looked over many of the books in my private library to see what doctors had been writing about exercise for the last
