Note 51 — EXERCISE.
Reading edition
“The most ignorant person knows, that proper care of the skin is indispensably necessary for the well-being of horses, &c.
“The Groom often denies himself rest, that he may dress and curry his horses sufficiently; it is, therefore, wonderful, that the enlightened people of these days should neglect the care of their own skin so much, that I think I may, without exaggeration, assert, that among the greater part of men,—the Pores of the Skin are half closed and unfit for use.”—From p. 235 of Huffeland’s Art of Prolonging Life,—which persons of all ages may peruse with much advantage.
