Not infrequent ly tlje doubts felt respecting injuries in flicted are of no moment; but It does oc cur that mischief has been produced, although the exercise may not have been excessive. In such cases I never fail to—dtsooYer that in the history of the individual there was hereditary or Ac quired defect, which has influenced the training effort, and which ought to have -prorepted 4t-altogether.
