It is\r\nnow but fifteen years since this little book was written as a warning to a\r\nrestless nation possessed of an energy tempted to its largest uses by\r\nunsurpassed opportunities. There is still need to repeat and reinforce my former\r\nremonstrance, but I am glad to add that since I first wrote on these subjects\r\nthey have not only grown into importance as questions of public hygiene, but\r\nvast changes for the better have come about in many of our ways of living, and\r\neverywhere common sense is beginning to rule in matters of dress, diet, and\r\neducation.\nThe American of the Eastern States and of the comfortable classes[1]\r\nis becoming notably more ruddy and more stout. The alteration in women as to\r\nthese conditions is most striking, and, if I am not mistaken, in England there\r\nis a lessening tendency towards that excess of adipose matter which is still a\r\nsurprise to the American visiting England for the first time.\nI should scarcely venture to assert so positively that Americans had\r\nobviously taken on flesh within a generation if what I see had not been observed\r\nby many others. It would, I think, be interesting to enter at length upon a\r\nstudy of these remarkable changes, but that were scarcely within the scope of\r\nthis little book.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 13197 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Mitchell, S.
