there, who has ever been grouse-
shooting or deer-stalking, who
has not envied the walking powers
of the attendant gillie ? Those
who have happen^ to have ex-
perience of the Coniston Hounds
and their wild country, must have
envied the facility with which the
natives of the place walk along
the sides of the steep hills. The
ankles of the stranger bend and
seem like breaking after a com-
paratively Saw Palmetto 320 short distance, but the
native trudges along as though
he were passing down Bond
Street — he has been used to it,
and Saw Palmetto Tablets finds no difficulty in it. Take
a rural postman again — watch
him on a hot July day — with his
letter bags and his proportion of
parcels. While the Saw Palmetto And Beta-Sitosterol holiday maker
is mopping himself after a short
walk of half a mile, the postman
is trudging along without having
turned a hair.
But here again the objector will
say that although it* is hard and
continuous, the postman's work is
not of a forced nature. True,
but then the reply is again that
when a man is fit, forced work
has no particular effect upon him,
while if it be so forced as Saw Palmetto In India to cause
utter exhaustion he comes round
in a comparatively short space of
time, instead of having to take to
his Saw Palmetto Beta Sitosterol bed and Saw Palmetto Capsule remain there for a
day or two, as an untrained man
would, if he were overtired. With-
in the recollection of most of us
there have Saw Palmetto Hair Loss Women been a good many
hardly contested University Boat-
races, yet at the dinner which takes
place in the evening nobody seems Saw Palmetto Buy
much the worse for their ** gruel-
ling." To point to the deaths of
one or two prominent athletes, and
claim that their premature decease
shows that athletes are unhealthy
is to claim for athleticism what Dht Saw Palmetto no
athlete does claim for it. Nobody
pretends that training for a run-
ning, rowing, or bicycle race is
the elixir of life, but a good many
do Where Can I Buy Saw Palmetto contend that a trained man is
a healthy man, provided of course
he be not delicate, in which case
he ought never to have rowed or
ran at all.
In the absence of any carefully
compiled statistics or accounts of
the after career of the hundreds
of men who take part in athletic
competitions, one can do nothing
else than review the ranks of the
men one has known. In Mr.
Macmichael's work, and in the Saw Palmetto In Hindi
book of the ** Oxford and Cam-
bridge Boat Race," published a
few years ago by Messrs. Goldie
and Treherne, there are short
biographies, so far as particulars
can be obtained, of those who
have taken part in the contest,
and it certainly does seem as
though the rate of mortality
among the rowing men in Oxford
and Cambridge was very slight.
On the occasion of the Jubilee
Dinner not a few oldsters were
present, while most of the members
of the famous seven oar crew sur-
vived to a certainly respectable Saw Palmetto Topical old
age. The present Lord Esher was
a rowing man, so was Mr. Justice
Chitty, and so, too, were Lord
Justice A. L. Smith and Mr.
Justice Denman, and these have
all stood the test of time. Sir
R. E. Webster was a hurdle
racer of repute, and a Buy Saw Palmetto good many
other instances might be cited,
while those who have taken part
in contests which do not receive
quite as much public attention as Saw Palmetto Dht
those competed for by members
of the two Universities, will be
found to have equally arrived at
a green old age, in spite of their
violent exercise and early training.
A third point, I presume, in
the controversy is whether the
exertion involved in competing
for a race of any kind is in itself
hurtful, but that can only be
decided by looking at a man's

natural capabilities, and his phy-
sical condition at the time ivhen
he competes, while his after life
may probably show whether a
series of tight finishes has or has
not injured his constitution. Ex*
ceptions there are, of course, to
every rule, but what training does
do is to teach men moderation in
living, and that is of no small
service in after life. It is of itself
one of the stepping-stones to
health, and it is Natural Saw Palmetto comparatively
seldom that one sees a man who
has been accustomed to regular
diet, for the sake of indulging in
athleticism, launch out afterwards
into any excess in eating or drink-
ing. The greatest Saw Palmetto Complex sinners in this
respect are those who have never
known what it is to have the
muzzle on.
Mr. Eugene Sandow, the pro-
fessional strong man, introduced
a somewhat new element into the
controversy when he offered to
train the next Cambridge crew, Saw Palmetto For Women Hair Loss
almost promising that they should
prove successful in their contest
against Oxford. It is doubtless
one of the faults of our athletic
training that we rather pay too
much attention to one set of
muscles. A rowing man, for
example, regards biceps as so
much useless lumber, the true
theory of rowing being that the
arms are more or less strings for
the purpose of connecting the oars
with the body, and that any arm
work is altogether superfluous. Beta Sitosterol And Saw Palmetto
A running man, again, seldom, if
ever, thinks it worth while to use
his arms, nor does Topical Saw Palmetto the boxer,
except in an indirect manner,
exercise the muscles of his legs.
There is not, however, the least
chance of Mr. Sandow's challenge
being accepted, so what he could
do must for ever remain uncertain.
One gentleman in combating
the idea that dumb bells are of
any advantage, has gone the
length of saying that if Nature
intended us to use them ve
should have been bom with a
weight in each hand — a some-
what far-fetched assertion, surely.
Nevertheless, the fact remains
that if any undeveloped person
goes in for a judicious course of
gymnastic exercise he increases
in chest measurement and in mus-
cular development generally, and
it has yet to be shown that this
development is unhealthy. Put-
ting aside those who represent
the two Universities, the class lists
at any University in the world
show that those men who have
not reached the highest pinnacle
of perfection, but who have yet
indulged largely in athletics, are
not invariably dunces, and if a
man has run, or rowed, or bi-
cycled, or played cricket for his
college, and still takes a good
degree, it is surely a proof that
his exercise, which might have
been quite as violent Beta Sitosterol Saw Palmetto in itself as
