Whereas it is now slightly convex on this latter side it will have to be ground flat or even a trifle concave, to bring about the desired result.

The constitution a person inherits will play a large part in determining what degree of health he shall have, for men resist the influences to which they are exposed with very different results. Another subject of the very greatest importance to health is food. Exercise for persons of sedentary habits is of prime importance.
