BICYCLING FOR HEALTH.
GTave Doctors Talk of the Advantages
of Wheeling.
New York's eminent physicians discuss
ed the other evening the advantages of
cycling as a health exercise and the New
York Herald gives tho following account
of the meeting:
The grave and reverend members of the
New York Academy of Medicine gave
themselves up unreservedly last night to
tho praiso of the 'cycle. When Tennyson
wrote, "Better fifty years of Europe than
a cycle of Cathay," he, of course, was
not In touch with this city and its re
doubtable Academy of Medicine. In last
night’s testimony of approval there was
not a dissentient vote, and many promi
nent physicians were among those who
3poke in favor of tho two-wheeled mus
tang.
The regular paper of the evening on the
bicycle was read by Dr. Graeme M. Ham
mond. He declared that there was
scarcely an organ In the body that might
not be Influenced by the proper or im
proper use of the wheel. Dr. Hammond
saltl that there were no statistics on this
subject, and therefore ho had been obliged
to rely upon his own observations in tab
ulating results.
He said he had made a careful examina
tion of fourteen professional and four
teen amateur riders. In the fourteen cases
of amateurs examined there were men
who had ridden from five to fifteen years
and from 6.000 to 27,000 miles. The men
who had ridden a great deal exhibited a
cardiac hypertrophy and an Increased
lung capacity.
The greatest chest expansion of the av
erage man was ono Inch, while the aver-
ago expansion In these amateur bicycle
riders was one and four-sevenths Inches.
There could bo no doubt that tho use of
the bicycle caused a condition of cardiac
and pulmonary development.
In the fourteen professional riders ex
amined, seven of tvhom were among the
first in tho country. Dr. Hammond did
not find a solitary case of deformity of
the spinal column. These mwi invariably
rido with their body bent over the handle
of the wheel. All the riders thus exam
ined were found to bo well built and mus
cular. with excessive development of the
thigh. The average chest development
was one an dthree-sevenths inches.
Dr. Hammond declared that certain
diseased conditions of the heart wero
benefited by blcyclo riding. The use of
the wheel waa also good for those troubled
with gout and diabetes. The circulation
was improved thereby and the oxygena
tion of the blood which resulted increased
the elimination of Injurious acids.
In short, said Dr. Harnmond, experience
shows that bicycle riding Is ono of the
most excellent forma of physical exercise
and is not only beneficial to the mind,
but also of Inestimable advantage th the
treatment of disease.
The discussion which followed the read
ing of Dr. Hammond’s paper was very
instructive. Dra Holbrook. Curtis, 'Polk,
Rockwell, Burt, Powell, and even Chulr-
man Roosa, participated. It waa shown
that the dignified chairman was partial
to the ’cycle himself.
Dr. Powell said: "I am a beginner, hut
I’m a believer in the wheel. I began last
May, but since then I’ve reduced my
weight twenty-six pounds and my age
twenty-six yeara. My young son bet me
$15 I couldn’t ride a wheel fifteen feet
after I had given somo useful advice
about the dangers of riding, #.nd \ went
up town, won his $15 and have been tiding
ever since."
Dr. Holbrook Curtis said: "I am an
amateur, but I admire the wheel. My
bent was confirmed last summer, when I
saw one of our most distinguished prac
titioners riding along the Bols, persued by
a gendarme.
"I asked him why he pursued the wheel
man. He said: 'He had a German ac
cent/ Now, if you think of riding, don’t
have your heart examined. \rat your nose
and throat The mode of respiration is
one of the Important things In bicycling.
Ono should always breathe through the
nose."
Dr. Polk declared that he was an ama
teur of tho amateurs, and added: 'There
Is long life and Joy to be found In the
use of tho bicycle."
