Bullfinch sitting up again, looking just the same except that his hair was a little rumpled. "It's supposed to reduce you if you're too fat and build you up if you're too thin.

Young Woman practicing at Home with the "Whitely Exerciser." Exercise improves the condition of the tissues generally. They become more elastic, and in all respects sounder.
