The final portion of the second volume is devoted to exercise (including swimming, dancing, and hunting), digestion, and rest.OCLC records ten locations: the New York Academy of Medicine, the National Lib. of Medicine, Univ. of Minnesota, and seven locations in Europe to which should be added Cornell.
