ATHLETICS


AND


MANLY SPORT


BY

John Boyle O'Reilly

"It is exercise alone that supports the spirits and keeps the mind in vigor."—Cicero.

"A man must often exercise or fast or take physic, or be sick."—Sir W. Temple.

"Anything is better than the white-blooded deterioration to which we all tend."—O. W. Holmes.

"There is no better preventive of nervous exhaustion than regular, unhurried, muscular exercise. If we could moderate our hurry, lessen our worry, and increase our open-air exercise, a large portion of nervous diseases would be abolished."—James Muir Howie.
