EXERCISE FOR BABY.

A PHYSICIAN’S VIEWS ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION

Influence of Repressed Activity on the Growth and Development of Infants. This Authority Declares Positively For

Freedom of Mevoment.

‘‘Infantile Athletics’’ was the subject of a paper read at a meeting of the sec- tion on pediatrics of the New York Academy of Medicine by Dr. Henry Ling Taylor.

‘*When one considers the important physiological effects of muscular activ- ity,’’ said Dr. Taylor, ‘‘it is apparent that the human organism is imperfectly adapted to a sluggish or sedentary ex- istence. Medical practice, at least in dhe cities, te largely made up of disor- Gets which are distinctly traceable to the neglect of proper exercise. Primi- tive man, being obliged to hunt and fight in order to exist, was of necessity athletic, and now that the struggle has in a measure been shifted from brawn to brain, men still filud it advantageous te train their muscles in sports and games. When the important relation of muscular activity to nutrition, respira- tion, circulation and elimination is re- ealled, this wholesome instinct easily fiuds its vindication. Every muscular mass is in an important sense a supple- mentary heart and a supplementary kidney. The lungs are never thorough- ly ventilated, except through vigorous exercise. Moreover, the mervous and muscular elements are so intimately related as to form practically but one system. Educatiop and progress come through motor aud sensory experience— that is, largely through muscular activ ity. Growth itself is influenced by exer- cise.

“Dr. H. G. Beyer of the United States Naval academy has shown that not only do those cadets who take systematic gymnastic training largely exceed those whe do not in average gain in weight, lung capacity and strength, but that their average gain in height during the four years is greater by over an inch. The cadets range in age from 16 to 21 years, and 3% is probable that apprcpri- ate exercise would have similar if not greater effect in children.

‘‘I¢ is even more true of the infant than of the adult that the kind and de- gree of habitual muscular activity will largely determine the structure of the body and the tone of the mind and char- acter. It is mere true because the in- fant is more incomplete and more plas- tic. The newborn babe is, as it were, but half made. Its organs are imma- ture, its activities restricted, and they will never attain full and harmonious development except uuder the stimulus of use. It is not without significance that exercise is begun five months or more before birth, and that tbe infant appears upon tho scene with a kick and a cry. Though among the most helpless of nature’s children, the infant comes with considerable training and some re- markable muscular endowments, as, for instance, the well known ability to sup- port itself by graspixg a horizontal rod. In waking hours the small limbs prac- tice constant and yigorous_ movements,

superficially aimed, but important my

producing tissue changes fundamental to nutrition, as well as in furnishing sensory avd motor experience necessary

to mental aud bodily growth, develop-

ment and power.

‘“‘At 3 months of age the baby finds its hands and begins to. reach out for and hold objects;. at 8 or 9 months it creeps; at 12 cr 14 it walks, and se progresses from simple to complex pur- posite movements and to such adjust- ments £8 put it in more comfortable and intimate relation with its surroundings.

**Since the infant haa such ample en- dowments and spontaneous impulses to wholesome activity, our first and most important care must be to avoid undue interference orrepression. It is interest- ing to observe what pains some uncivi- lized mothers take that the wrappings and appliances needful to protect the baby shall not prevent freedom of move- ment. In describing Indian infancy and the use of the portable cradle Mrs. Fletcher says: ‘It is a mistaken notion that the child is kept up all the time. Every day the baby is bathed and placed on a robe er blanket to kick and crow to its heart’s content, but when the family cares call the mother away be is put inte the cradle, with his arms free to play with the many bright beads that hang from the hook which encircles the head of this little portable bed.’

“What a refreshing contrast to the insipid experiences of our overdraped, overcoddled youngsters. Still, rough ex- ercises are not required for civilized ba- bie. They will attend to their own gymnastics, if not prevented. It is evi- dent that the movements of the trunk and limbs should not be impeded with wrappings. Baby's activity should have free play. At the start we are confront- ed with the conventional bellyband; if tightly adjusted, it must exert injuri- ous pressure; if too loosely adjusted, it gets displaced and roljis into a contract- ing string. When adjusted with a prop- er degree of snugness, it may be innocu- ous, but do ite benefits outweigh its dis- advantages? The clothing should be loose and simple, fittiug in successive layers, so that ali can be put on at once.

“When it comes te artificial exercises for the baby, there are few prevalent among us that seem calculated to help him. Monotonous jarring, shaking and trotting are undesirable, if not harmful. When the idea is once grasped that a good, hearty cry is an admirable chest expander, there is less temptation to this form of parental indulgence, for it will usually be found that the baby is trotted for the sake of the trotter rather than for its own. Peevishness is of course undesirable. If due to indigestion or other physical ailments, the baby should be treated; if complicated by overindulgence, the treatment should be tempered with discipline which should not stop with the child.’’

en 6. ee eee

Over twenty-five years I have been in the Spectacle bud inoss and during that time have fitted hundreds and hundres of persons. Some had put off getting glasses so long that the could not see a large 4 inch letter A without going within 2 o 3 feet of it, and might have gone blind if they had pnt off getting glasses much longer. Others have been fitted or rather wisfitted, with wrong glasses by travellers, and charg- 2d a great deal more than they ought to have been. This y~ar our traveller, Mr. C. H. White, intends calling on par- ties at their homes in the country, to test eyes and show sam ples of our goods. Should he call on you I bespeak for him your favorable consideration, and any order you may give him will ke fillec as soon as possible and guaranteed by ime. Glasses can also be exchanged at the store, CAMERON Buock, City, if after a trial they do not prove as satisfactory as you
