Physical Resilience

A general elasticity of structure, a suggestion of sinews and physical
resilience characterizes this type.


The Florid-Faced, High-Chested Individual

What is known as a "red face," when accompanied by a high chest,
always signifies large thoracic tendencies. The high color which in an
adult comes and goes is a sure indication of a well developed
circulatory system, since high color is caused by the rapid pumping of
blood to the tiny blood vessels of the face.

People with little blood, weak hearts or deficient circulation are not
florid and must be much overheated or excited to show vivid color in
their cheeks.
