Vitality Supreme

There
is
one
outdoor
exercise
that
we
can
all
take
without
expense,
and
it
is
by
far
the
best
when
everything
is
considered.
At
least
this
statement
is
true
so
far
as
the
building
of
vitality
and
endurance
is
concerned.
I
refer
to
walking.
This
is
an
exercise
that
can
be
made
decidedly
vigorous
if
desired.
And
no
matter
what
health-building
regimen
you
may
follow,
a
certain
amount
of
walking
is
essential
to
maintaining
the
highest
degree
of
physical
vigor.
Walking
is
a
tonic
of
very
great
value
to
every
one
of
the
organic
functions.
It
stimulates
the
activities
of
the
purifying
organs
to
an
unusual
degree.
It
is
a
remedy
of
great
efficacy
in
overcoming
constipation.
It
can
be
highly
recommended
for
strengthening
the
heart,
for
stimulating
the
liver
and
kidneys,
and
it
will
tone
up
the
physical
organism
throughout.
Furthermore,
this
exercise
is
of
unusual
value
as
a
mental
stimulant.
It
clears
the
"cobwebs"
from
the
brain.
If
you
are
bothered
with
vexing
problems
put
them
aside
until
you
can
take
a
long
walk.
With
the
improved
quality
of
the
blood
and
the
more
active
circulation
of
this
functional
tonic,
your
mental
efficiency
will
be
greatly
increased.
You
will
think
more
quickly;
your
conclusions
will
be
clearer,
more
definite
and
more
dependable.
I
know
a
successful
novelist
who
depends
very
largely
upon
his
long
walks
for
working
out
the
themes
and
plots
of
his
stories.
I
have
frequently
followed
the
same
plan
in
connection
with
my
own
work.
I
know
of
other
writers
who
depend
upon
this
method
of
gaining
inspiration.
I
have
been
told
that
chopping
wood
is
mentally
stimulating,
and
also
that
horseback
riding
and
cycling
are
sometimes
helpful
in
this
direction,
but
walking
is
without
doubt
the
most
effective
mental
stimulant
to
be
found
out-of-
doors.
It
accelerates
the
circulation,
and
seems
to
arouse
the
vital
forces
of
the
body,
but
does
not
require
such
an
expenditure
of
energy
as
to
prevent
the
brain
from
being
exceptionally
active.
