Sinossi

Excerpt from Health Exercise: A Discussion of the Rationale and Practice of Butler's Lifting Cure

The idea of lifting as an exercise may be repugnant to many, from a false conception of the position of the body and mode of action. It is usually connected in the mind with the idea of stooping, or bending the body in an unnatural and constrained position, and with an effort which would result in injurious strain or over-exertion. Nothing could be further from a true conception of this beautiful application of the laws of physical culture. To lift [tear/y weiglzts, is not the prime object of this treatment; but the action should always be graduated to the condition of the patient. We propose briefly to explain why proper lifting is the most perfect exercise for a human being, and how it aids in effecting a cure of chronic, acute and organic diseases and deformities.
