Furthermore,
it
is
well
to
remember
that
this
attitude
in
itself
has
a
tremendous
influence
upon
both
the
physical
and
mental
organism.
The
mind,
for
instance,
is
affected
to
an
extraordinary
degree
by
this
position.
It
quickens
the
reasoning
capacity,
helps
to
clear
the
brain
of
"cobwebs"
and
unquestionably
adds
to
one's
courage.
The
man
who
is
afraid
hangs
his
head.
He
who
is
void
of
fear
holds
his
head
erect,
"looks
the
world
in
the
face!"
There
is
no
question
that
if
a
man
without
fear
were
to
assume
the
position
of
fear,
with
hanging
head
and
shrinking
body,
he
would
quickly
find
himself
stirred
by
the
emotions
associated
with
such
a
posture.
He
would
soon
"get
scared!"
In
fact,
the
attitude
of
the
body
has
so
much
to
do
with
one's
mental
and
emotional
state
that
the
question
of
self-confidence
or
lack
of
confidence
may
often
be
decided
simply
by
throwing
your
head
up
and
back
and
assuming
the
general
bodily
posture
that
goes
with
confidence.
It
not
only
expresses
confidence:
it
also
develops
confidence.
There
is
a
great
truth
here
that
psychologists
and
those
who
write
"character
building"
books
have
not
sufficiently
understood
or
emphasized.
And
when
you
feel
discouraged,
the
best
way
to
overcome
the
sense
of
depression
is
to
"brace
up"
physically.
It
will
help
you
to
"brace
up"
mentally.
Try
it.
Then
there
are
the
definite
physiological
results
of
maintaining
an
erect
spine.
The
mechanical
arrangement
of
the
spine
itself
is
such
that
if
it
is
held
erect
the
important
nerves
that
radiate
to
all
parts
of
the
body
from
this
central
"bureau"
are
able
more
perfectly
to
perform
their
functions.
Where
there
is
pressure
on
these
nerves
there
is
bound
to
be
imperfect
functioning.
The
affected
organ
will
work
lazily,
indifferently.
In
fact,
the
entire
science
of
the
osteopaths
and
chiropractors
is
based
almost
wholly
upon
the
value
of
spinal
stimulation
and
the
remedying
of
spinal
defects.
