decided on, sends its
orders back over the nerve wires to the muscles telling them what action
to perform.

Your Working Agents

This latter fact--that the muscles are the working agents of the
body--also explains why the Muscular type is naturally more active than
any of the others.

Source of Your Raw Materials

The body may be compared to a perfectly organized transportation
system and factory combined. The Alimentive system furnishes the raw
materials for all the systems to work on.

Stationary Equipment

The bones of the body are like the telegraph poles, the bridges and
structures for the protection and permanence of the work carried on by
the other systems of the body.

Now poles, bridges and structures are less movable, less alterable than
any of the other parts of a transportation system, and likewise the bony
element in man makes him less alterable in every other way than he would
otherwise be. A predominance of it in any individual indicates a
preponderance of this immovable tendency in his nature.

Mind and matter are so inseparably bound up together in man's organism
that it is impossible to say just where mind ends and matter begins. But
this we know: that even the mind of the bony person partakes of the same
unbending qualities that are found in the bones of his body.

"Every Cell Thinks"

Thomas A. Edison, as level-headed and unmystical a scientist as lives,
says, "Every cell in us thinks." Human Analysis proves to us that
something very near this is the case for it shows how the habitual
mental processes of every individual are always "off the same piece of
goods" as his body.

[Illustration 9: Cerebral the "thinker"]

Thus the fat man's mind acts as his body acts--evenly, unhurriedly,
easefully and comfortably. The florid man's mind has the same quickness
and resourcefulness that distinguish all his bodily processes. The
muscular man's mind acts in the same strenuous way that his body acts,
while the bony man's brain always has an immovable quality closely akin
to the boniness of his body.

He is not necessarily a "bonehead," but this phrase, like "fathead," is
no accident.

The Large Head on the Small Body

As pointed out before, the larger any organ or system the more will it
tend to express itself. So, the large-headed, small-bodied man runs more
to mental than to physical activities, and is invariably more mature in
his thinking. (See Chart 9) Conversely, the Aliment
