  14. EXPANDING THE LUNGS.—Step out into the purest air you can find; stand perfectly erect, with the head up, and the shoulders back, and then fixing the lips as though you were going to whistle, draw the air through the lips into the lungs. When the chest is about half full, gradually raise the arms, keeping them extended with the palms of the hands down, as you suck in the air, so as to bring them over the head just as the lungs are quite full. Then drop the thumbs inward, and after gently forcing the arms backward and the chest open, reverse the process by which you draw your breath, till the lungs are empty. This process should be repeated three or four times after bathing, and also several times through the day. It is impossible to describe to one who has never tried it, the glorious sense of vigor which follows this exercise. It is the best expectorant in the world. We know a gentleman, the measure of whose chest has been increased three or four inches during as many months.1 paragraphs

  34. BRO. P. PALMISLA writes from Laporte: With many others I can say, the Review is a welcome visitor to me, as it is the only preaching we have here. For some time past I have thought how glad I would be if there could be a sermon in every paper, and I thank God that we have it now, with the addition of much more, as the paper is now double in size. I am an old and feeble man, but so long as it is possible to sustain this mortal life, I desire that spiritual food which will enable me to obtain eternal life in the kingdom. The Review is a great help to me, and the sermon alone is worth more than the cost of it. I pray the Lord to bless the publication department, that those who read the books and papers may be made wise unto salvation. And may I so live before the Lord in fullness of obedience, that he may grant me a place among the redeemed, for Jesus’ sake.1 paragraphs
  35. SISTER SARAH BROWN, of Barry County, writes: I am very much interested in your papers and know how to prize their weekly visits. I never have heard any of the Adventists preach, but have read the Review nearly two years, and so far endorse its doctrines as to wish to learn more of your people. I am not a member of any church, but can truly say I love my blessed Redeemer. I have long been convinced that it was right to keep the seventh day as the holy Sabbath, but have not been able until lately to rest on that day. Oh! how I would like to hear some of your people preach.1 paragraphs

  44. The War Rumors.—A despatch from London, July 26th, says that there is much caution shown by capitalists and business men in that city, the feeling having become general that war between France and Prussia is imminent. A private despatch from Berlin, of the same date, also makes mention of the general opinion that war is certain, and adds that Prussia is actively urging forward her preparations for such an event. Still greater sensation was created by a Vienna telegram, stating that the Emperor Napoleon had sent a note to King William of Prussia, urging him to surrender the Danish districts of North Schleswig to Denmark, but that the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria declined to interfere in the matter at all. The truth of this statement, as far as France is concerned, was positively denied by the Moniteur, on Saturday July 27th. Nevertheless, the semi-official journal of Berlin continued to urge King William to repel the intrusion of the French Emperor in the political affairs of Germany. More important than these vague war rumors is an official statement in the official Gazette of Vienna, saying that it is the right and interest of the Emperor Napoleon to enforce the treaty of Prague. The same paper also says that the Czar of Russia has sent to King William of Prussia a note to the foregoing effect. If the sense of the official paper is correctly given by the cable despatch, it is clear that Austria means to pursue a foreign policy hostile to Prussia.—Methodist.9 paragraphs

  53. Political Effect of Sheridan's Action.—General Sheridan still continues to act while the President is hesitating. His removal of almost the entire city council of New Orleans, and appointment of loyal men in their places—which appointments include five colored men, of whom one is a full black—is an act over which Andrew Johnson will feel no less bitterly than over the removal of Throckmorton. It is probable, also, that the next order from Sheridan will make a sweeping change in the State officials of Texas, compelling the rebel State officers generally to follow in the footsteps of the Governor to private life.3 paragraphs
  54. —There are now thirty-seven States and eight Territories in the Union, not counting the Russian purchase. We may, therefore, pretty nearly calculate the number of states that are to compose the Republic of the future. If each of the eight territories becomes a state, the number of states will be forty-five. Dakotah and Utah, however, are pretty sure to be divided, which will make forty-seven states. Texas will yet be divided into three states. Another state will be formed from New Mexico and adjacent territories. This will make exactly fifty states in the American Union, and fifty stars on the American flag.4 paragraphs
