6/14 Fresh air, long walks, deep breathing, dumb bells, boxing, rowing, skating in season--_and wholesome companionship day by day_. In the long run boxing will become his most efficient exercise. When a man can take a blow between the eyes and come back for more he has begun to _fortify his own combativeness_. That is what he needs in life's battles--the nerve to _come back for more_ after a slam on the jaw that would lay another man low. And when it's all said and done and the exercise game has become a feature of his day's work, he must settle down to _good plain food and plenty of sleep_. |
