How to Reduce a Fat Abdomen

Q. What will reduce a fat abdomen?

A. Sawing wood. This is a capital exercise, something that will make the abdominal mus­cles work. Or one may lie on the back and raise the legs to vertical 150 times a day.

This part of the body gets fat because the muscles are so little used. Work uses up fat as fuel. Fat accumulates where there is deficient activity; so the main thing to do is to make that part of the body work. Swimming is a good ex­ercise f or the purpose.

Automatic exercise, that is, exercise produced by rhythmical electrical stimulation of the muscles, is a most efficient means of reducing either general or local obesity.

Tuberculosis germs and other disease-producing bacteria often find their way into the body through the open portal pro­vided by diseased tonsils. The tonsils harbor disease germs, such as pneumonia and diptheria, also the germ of influenza or la grippe. These germs are lying there ready to develop whenever the vital resistance is lowered by cold, exhaus­tion, indigestion, or any other depressing cause. Diseased tonsils are often a cause of rheumatism and probably other serious maladies. Tonsils which frequently become raw or in­ flamed or which are constant...
