Addlngton Bruce If thero Is any one fact that recent LClcntlfie research has definitely prov cd It Is that tho harder a man thinks provided ho is Interested in what no Is thinking about tho richer his blood will become, tho moro rapidly It will circulate, and tho moro smooth ly will run tho processes of his physical phy-sical organism. Most peoplo labor under tho false belief that tho brain is a delicate or-an, or-an, and that to think hard for any length of tlmo puts n dangerous tnx upon it. As a matter of fact, men-I men-I tnl undoroffort Is far moro likely to Lo harmful than mental overstrain. So long as a man docs not worry he enn think as bard as ho pleases without any fear of injury to his health. On tho contrary, ho may rest assured that his health will ho Improved. Hard thinking Is actually body building. Indeed, thero nro somo scientists sci-entists who go so far as to dcclaro thnt men can get along with little or no phylcnl exorcise, so long ns they l:eop exorcising tholr minds by thinking think-ing about tho things that most interest inter-est them. Tills holds true In every enso whether whe-ther It ho tho developing of an Inven tion, tho writing of n book, tho solving solv-ing of nbstruso problems, tho planning plan-ning of nn advertising campaign, or whnt not. nut for that matter we do not have to roly on tho opinions of n fow (dentists for proof that hard thinking think-ing nover hurts anyone, but, on tho contrary, toughens tho constitution nnd helps prolong life. |
