He begged the feline for his life and liberty. "I am," said he, "very young, and have never tried to escape or outwit you. I have an interest in the continuance of our species, and although you may devour me now, there will be no gratification in having exterminated...

Undoubtedly, incalculably strong tendencies to health or disease are inherited by all of us; but, on the other hand, every one has within his reach the power to better his form and development. It is owing to this, that thus far English college men have beaten us in almost everything. The average of their health is better, and it is therefore natural that their best men should be better than ours. But Mr. Blaikie's book is not intended as a manual for athletes only...
