Begin the investigation at their girlhood and end it at their coffins, and tell me in what direction they, or men form any thing like just ideas in regard to the Laws of Health and Life as pertaining to their intellectual, physical, moral or spiritual development? Outside of the circle of Health Reformers, there is not a man who acts as if he ever thought his daughter is amenable to physical law in the same sense, or to any thing like the same degree that his son is.
All his bearing and conduct go to show that he feels that it is of no consequence whether she is trained under the authority of the Laws of Health and Life or not. HHTL The boys have upon their feet, heavy, thick-soled boots. They are dressed in pantaloons made of woolen cloth, lined, and coming to their ankles. The upper part of their bodies are covered with thick cotton shirting, vesting over that, and over these a woolen coat, with long sleeves, lined, and heavy woolen mittens upon their hands.
Some of them have over all these an overcoat. The girls in this group are dressed as follows: Upon the upper part of their bodies is a cotton chemise, with short sleeves; over this is a calico dress with long sleeves, unlined, and thin mittens upon their hands. Over their hips they have a calico skirt, a petticoat, and a pair of drawers, the legs of which come just below the knee. On the feet are thin shoes and woolen stockings, the upper parts of which come within two inches of the lower part of the pantalettes, leaving the legs unclad between the knees and the bulge of the calves of the legs.
Almost every one of these girls is at school from six to eight hours during the day, studying in a hot room, is of a nervous temperament, and of course, predisposed to large development of brain, and feeble nutritive energy, resulting in deficiency of muscles. Of ten girls that I can now count of the group at play, I have no hesitation in saying that at least three-fourths of them will not grow to womanhood. They must inevitably succumb to the infringement of the laws upon which their very existence depends, and growing out of their careless habits, or want of proper training on the part of their parents.
This falseness begun in childhood in the training of girls, is almost universally carried on to adult age, so that so far as respects the Laws of Health and Life, the women in this country dress as defiantly and as disregardful of them as they dress their daughters when children, or as they themselves when children were dressed by their parents.
It is notorious that women suffer more from it than men. A great variety of causes I admit conduces to this result, but among them there can be no question, but that the style of dress which woman wears has more or less of significance. The fashion of her dress is such as to produce ligation around the body just at the point of separation between the nutritive and respiratory structures. Now, at this point, Nature demands that there be the freest circulation, and all ligatures, no matter how they are brought to bear, that disturb, in slight degree only, the circulation at this point, are calculated to produce just such nervous conditions as culminate in this disease.
I can take a strong man and girt him about the waist, not where men are usually girt, but higher just about the short ribs, directly over the upper portions of the liver, spleen, and stomach, and the back just above the upper portions of the kidneys, and subject him to that process for sixteen hours, and unless he is constitutionally predisposed to show reactions as against any outrage to which his body has been subjected, I can induce sick headache, — that is, I will induce nausea or sickness at the stomach with such conjestion of brain, and such fullness, or pain, over the eyes, as, without violation of language, to be denominated sick headache.
It was small, soft, white, and delicate, and wore numerous rings set with costly jewels. I compared it with my own, which was large, brown, and ringless. As I looked at the two I thought to myself that out of a hundred persons who should see them together, ninety-nine would think that hers was far the prettier. And yet I would not exchange my hand for hers, for in either case, the hand was the representative of the whole body, and its conditions, and relations to life.
Her hand looked pretty, but it was cold and clammy, and sought mine for the genial warmth which circulated to my finger tips. I thought of the question or proposition of our Saviour. Her care was for raiment; mine was for the body.
Her care was for appearance; mine for reality. She would put on fine externals. She would have a fine complexion; hence she would not let the sunlight touch her face. She would have a fashionable bust; hence she would have her dress girted so tightly as to press her ribs in upon her lungs. She would wear costly shining silks; hence she would place herself in such conditions as to preserve such fabrics.
She would have a small, genteel foot; hence she would wear tightly fitting shoes. She would have a beautiful hand; hence she would keep it from all but the most delicate uses. And it is her privilege to have all these; but with them she must take their belongings — a body deranged in all its functions, and unfitted for the uses of a healthy, well developed mind — a body full of vile impurities — a whited sepulcher, fair without, but within filled with all uncleanliness.
I will have vigorous circulation, good eyesight, good hearing, acute smell, a nice sense of taste, keen appetite, refreshing sleep, clearness of brain. A wiser maxim for the preservation of health was never given than that which enjoins upon persons the necessity of keeping the head cool and the feet warm.
The latter is quite as important as the former. Indeed the circulation of the brain cannot be healthful, and perfectly carried on, unless the feet are kept warm. Pricing and availability are accurate as of publish time.
