ABSTRACT

IN many respects the human body may be likened to a banking institution, the golden currency of which is energy. Unless we be the unfortunate heirs to some hereditary disease, we all come into the world endowed with a large reserve account. Each day of our lives we have a considerable income at our disposal, and many demands to meet. It is well we should consider our daily account, and make sure that our Income is equal to our expenditure. No human body is insured against bankruptcy, and when our reserves are exhausted, business is no longer possible and the institution becomes but a memory.
