The Infant System

CHAPTER V
6/35

Not so, however, with the kennel or the stables; a gentleman of the first rank, who is not ashamed to give directions concerning the management of his dogs or horses, would blush were he surprised in performing the same office for that being who is to be the heir of his fortunes, and, perhaps, the future hope of his country.
Arguments to show the importance of exercise, might be drawn from every part of the animal economy.

Without it, the circulation of the blood cannot be properly carried on, nor the different secretions duly performed; neither can the fluids be properly prepared, nor the solids rendered firm or strong.

The action of the heart, the motion of the lungs, and all the vital functions, are greatly assisted by exercise.
But to point out the manner in which these effects are produced, would lead us beyond the present subject.

We shall, therefore, only add, that when exercise is neglected, none of the animal functions can be duly performed; and when this is the case, the whole constitution must go to wreck.

Healthy parents, wholesome food, and suitable clothing will avail little where it is disregarded.
