Excerpt from Exercising in Bed: The Simplest and Most Effective System of Exercise Ever Devised

The movements, or muscular contractions and alternate relaxations, described in this system of Physical Culture are not specially new, but my adaptation of those exercises, that they may be ef fectively and systematically practiced under the most comfortable conditions possible (that is, while lying in bed) is, to the best of my knowledge, a novel idea and a step in advance in the most important of all sciences, the science of health, strength, elasticity of body, and longevity.

Excerpt from Exercising in Bed: The Simplest and Most Effective System of Exercise Ever Devised

To my friend, and companion on many a shoot ing trip - the happiest days of my long life! To gether he and I have climbed the steep quail bills, or waited listening in some rocky canyon to the deep vibrant bay of peak mingling with the long drawn bugle-like cry of scout, as, through tangled Chaparral, they cold trailed some wandering coyote or sneaking cat. And the sharp high staccato notes of nellie would break in, when the duet became a trio. The tempo of the wild symphony would quicken, and we would scramble up the rocky ridge to our stand on the high divide. 'lltogether he and I have lain out in our blankets watching the glint of the stars in the cloudless California sky; while, far up on the mountain side, the thin weird wail of a prowlingcoyote alone broke the silence. Then, as the crest of Grizzly Peak reddened in the rising sun, the reedy querulous challenge of the cock quail sounded defiance from sheltering thickets, far and near. The wind, sighing through the redwoods the pungent smoke of the camp fire - the pure clear air of the early morning; - the joy of it all when one is pulsating with health and lives close to nature.
