The Bicjole And Its Dangers.
With the advance of spring the
" bike " will be more and more in
evidence. As a fashionable fad there
is none to dispute its respectability
but, after all, does cycling pay ? Does
it tend to preserve or to restore
health ? Its reign has been too short
to enable the medical man to answer
this question decisively. But Dr.
Shadwell, in the current number of
The National Review attempts to
answer it. He admits that as a form
of exercise it has its value ; " it is
good for many people." But, he adds,
" my point is that among the enor
mous numbers who have taken to it
within the last two vears there are
many others for whom it is not good,
but distinctly hurtful, and that in ways
and for reasons which are not yet
generally recognized."
Regarding those who cannot ride
even a moderate distance without
unpleasant or serious consequences
he says :
They may not be so numerous as
suppose ; but they exist, and there is
nothing on the face of it to distin
guish them from the rest lhat is
where the dancer lies. One
danger is exophthalmic goitre ; '
another is internal inflammation, of
which the symptoms are much paw
and a kind of chronic dysentery, ex
tremely obstinate and of the most
lowering character. The first case
that I noticed was that of a lady of
eood constitution, active and able to
hold her own at other forms, of ex
ercise. She mastered the machine
with exceptional facility, almost at the
first essay, and was an easy and grace
ful rider. But being rather timid, she
never rode more than a mile or two
at a time, and that at the most mod
erate pace. Nevertheless, this trouble
developed itself, and did not subside
tor months, to the great detriment of
her health, which has not yet recovered.
Another danger of cycling to which
Dr. Shadwell calls attention is appen
dicitis caused by bicycle riding. The
numerous cases where the result of
cvclincr is nervous exhaustion, head
ache, insomnia, lassitude, nervous de
pression arid prostration, which are
not induced by overexertion but by

should serve as a warning, particular

means of locomotion with the ex

Thj Grand Army Posts of Lu

and are nearly allied to that effection
of nervous origin which is called sick
headache. The theory of
overexertion is Quite inadequate to
exulain the kind of effects here des
cribed. The true cause seems to be
in the extreme instability of the two-
wheeled machine, which can never be
left to itself for a single moment with
out dismounting. In this respect
bicycling differs from any other occu
pation whatever. The strain of at
tentions to it may not be very great
in itself sometimes it is, and some
times it is not but it never ceases 1
and this incessant tension is the thing
which tells on the nerves. How in
cessant it is the demeanor of most
riders declares with an emphasis
which still excites ridicule, familiar as
the sicht has become.
The bicycle has not been long in
general use not sufficiently long, at
anv rate, to develop all its possibilities
for crood and for evil but Dr. Shad-
well's article is likely to call a halt in
its indiscriminate use. He shows
that bicycling is attended with serious
evils, and suggests that in adopting it
as a mode of rapid transit " very
much creater caution is necessary
than has been generally supposed."
