FOOTNOTES:
[1] The advantages of the training system are not confined to
pedestrians and pugilists alone--they extend to every man; and were
training generally introduced instead of medicines, as an expedient for
the prevention and cure of diseases, its beneficial consequences would
promote his happiness and prolong his life. "Our Health, Vigour, and
Activity, must depend upon regimen and exercise; or, in other words,
upon the observance of those rules which constitute the theory of the
training process."--CAPT. BARCLAY _on Training_, p. 239.
"It has been made a question, whether Training produces a _lasting_, or
only a _temporary_ effect on the constitution? It is undeniable, that if
a man be brought to a better condition; if corpulency, and the
impurities of his body disappear; and if his wind and strength be
improved by any process whatever, his good state of health will
continue, until some derangement of his frame shall take place from
accidental or natural causes. If he shall relapse into intemperance, or
neglect the means of preserving his health, either by omitting to take
the necessary exercise, or by indulging in debilitating propensities, he
must expect such encroachments to be made on his constitution, as must
soon unhinge his system. But if he shall observe a different plan--the
beneficial effects of the training process will remain until the gradual
decay of his natural functions shall, in mature old age, intimate the
approach of his dissolution."--CAPT. BARCLAY _on Training_, p. 240.
