To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Practise this mode of expanding the chest. Do not stoop forward at all, but suck in all the air you can, throwing the head and neck backwards, and hold in the air as long as possible. By this exercise, you will often at once check a cough, or disposition to cough. The chest may also be fully expanded whilst lying in bed. By exercising the chest in this manner, it will soon become very flexi- ble and expansible, and will enlarge its capacity and the size of the lungs, so as, in a few weeks or mo...nths, to hold double its usual quan- tity of air, whilst, externally, it will measure from one to six inches larger in its circumference. Should you not have full strength to en- large the chest in this way, then use an inhaling tube, such as I have delineated in Plate G. The inhaling tube will greatly assist you in expanding the chest, if you are weak or not. The chest should be treated in ^^ way during your whole lives. Should you become invalids, from any cause, keep your chests expanded by long breaths and the inhaling tube, and continue to breathe a little cold fresh air daily, by having it drawn from out of doors, by leather or tin pipes, or in any other manner you please.
