CHARACTER BUILDING AND READING
liver complaints, gall stones, kidney diseases
and joint troubles. They should eat foods
which tend to develop flesh and brain, rather
than bone and muscle.
This temperament, when combined with
high quality mentality, gives us our greatest
leaders and reformers, of which Lincoln
and Alexander Campbell (Fig. 7) are good ex-
amples ; but when combined with the vital and
of low mental tone, it is undesirable, and of
the order found among savage and uncivilized
people.
Marriage.

Motive temperament should mar-
ry those possessed of vital mental, or mental

Occupation. These persons do well in bus-

vocal—oratory and architecture, but are not
suited to, nor do they like, heavy labor.
The diseases to which they are most liable
are gout, apoplexy, sciatica, dropsy and certain
forms of heart disease and indigestion from ex-
cesses in diet, also various inflammatory
troubles. To modify this temperament, observe the
injunction of the ancient Egyptian priests not
to let the body sit too heavily on the soul.
Take plenty of outdoor exercise, adopt an ab-
stemious diet, and keep the brain active.
In marriage these persons should seek one
of the mental motive or motive mental temper-
ament and thus avoid in the offspring the faults
and diseases peculiar to this organization.
