Excerpt from Horse-Back Riding: From a Medical Point of View

"Bodily labor is of two kinds, either that which a man submits to for his livelihood, or that which he undergoes for his pleasure. The latter of them generally changes the name of labor for that of exercise, but differs only from ordinary labor as it rises from another motive.

"... I might here mention the effects which this has upon all the faculties of the mind, by keeping the understanding clear, the imagination untroubled, and refining those spirits that are necessary for the proper exertion of our intellectual faculties, during the present laws of union between soul and body.

"... To conclude, as I am a compound of soul and body. I consider myself as obliged to a double scheme of duties; and think I have not fulfilled the business of the day when I do not thus employ the one in labor and exercise, as well as the other in study and contemplation. Addison."

It is only necessary to observe man in the nature and diversity of his acts, and in his peculiar constitution, to see that he is a complex being, mind and matter, during the entire length of his active existence.
