Dr. Cantlle, after expressing regret at the almost total loss of his voice, which he was afraid might not last out the allotted hour-and-a- quarter, went on to recapitulate the main points of a previous lecture, in which he had shown the necessity of athletic exercise for Europeans in the tropics. Why should not Europeans follow the practice of the Chinese and Indians, who regarded physical effort as derogatory Simply because, and as he had shown previously in detail, the physique of Europeans was liable to decline.
