Overview

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Vol. 6: November, 1866, to May, 1869 Dr Edwards applies to man the principles which be deduced from his experiments on animals; and he maintains that, m climates in which nudity is not incompatible with health, the exposure of the whole surface of the body to light will be very favourable to the regular conformation of the body. In support of this opinion he quotes a statement by Humboldt, that among the people called Chaymas, who live under the Equator, both men and women are very muscular and have fleshy and rounded forms, and that he had not seen a single individual with a natural deformity.
