EITHEN prized Resident Dealer for Indigestion (Continued) • by W. BIDDLE GILMAN. M. D. The value of exercise in keeping one up to a normal tone of the systam was well kno'vn to that “grand old man” Gladstone who made it a habit of frequently cutting down a tree at his country place. A friend of mine formerly in business in Philadelphia and who is still living at a very advanced age and who had suffered many years from occasional attacks of in digestion of an acute character, purchased a piece of woodland in Camden county. New Jersey and spent several hours a day, twice weekly in cutting down and splitting up trees upon his place, and was as well satisfied with the great benefit to his health he derived therefrom, that he long continued to do so. It is not absolutely necessary at all that a man should take up ploughing to get rid of his indigestion, nor if his stomach gives trouble, that there is no other remedy open to him other than to cut down trees, but there are many exercises, which if com bined with a judicious diet, and moderate eating adapted to the individual case, cannot help but result in a short time in markedly decided benefit and this is es pecially noticable in all those exercises whic include the abdominal muscles, I bring to my mind an instance of this where an idea which would not have oc curred to one man in ten thousand was put into practice; A medical man, a close friend of mine, whose engagements pro- fessionaly were too extensive to allow him leisure time would forcibly and rapidly contract the abdominal muscles, thereby agitating the diaphragm, an excellent form of massage; he called it his “Diagphrag- matic exercise” this he would do while paying his round of visits in his carriage, and has often assured me that he did not feel near so well on the days he neglected to do so. I lay particular stress upon the impor tance of exercise, that is muscular exertion in the prevention and cure of indigestion, for the simple reason that next to moder ate eating, combined with the sufficient amount of thorough mastication it is the highest factor we can employ. The dumb beasts instinctively recognize this important fact, for the wild animal rendered by long period of captivity com paratively tame, will pace backward and forward for hours at a time, and we are well aware that in all properly regulated prisons certain periods of the day are alotted the inmates for exercise in the open air, the jail yards being used for that purpose. “Where there is a will there is a way” and to the man who is so inclined, oppor tunities innumerable will present them selves, as time can be found daily in every man’s life in which a few of the most im portant of the “Swedish movements” can be practiced, or a pair of not too heavy dumb bells, or light “Indian clubs” can be kept on hand for the purpose of obtaining a few minutes exercise between meals, or the same exercises as far as movements are concerned can be taken without arti ficial assistance; In this connection I will ALWAYS ON THE JOB to repair your car, no matter how badly damaged. Also Oils, Gas, Greases and Accessories. Keith Garage Vass, N- C. mention the case of one of the most emi nent lawyers in New York City, who hav ing been advised to take physical exercise by his physician, purchased a pair of light dumb bells, which he keeps in his office exercising twice daily with the same, the presence of a client is no hindrance, he would excuse himself for a few moments, pass into an adjoining room, take his ac customed exercise and then return and resume business where he had left off, he claiming that he was still doing busi ness, and it was business; he would say, “It should be the especial business of every man to take care of his body and I consider that I am doing more real good for myself than making money in taking my regular exercise.” .

The big club house of the Mid-Pines Country Club will then start, and the plans that have been laid before the contractors for bids show one of the finest build ings in this part of the state. By the time spring has opened Knollwood will be one of the most active spots in the county, For in ad dition to the force making the golf links the building crews will be at work and the place will be a hive of industry.
