Signs of Good Lungs

Whenever you see a man whose face is wide through the cheek
bones--with a long, high-bridged open-nostrilled nose--you see a man of
good lung capacity and of quick physical energy. When you see any one
with pinched nostrils, a face that is narrow through the cheek bones and
a low or "sway-back" nose, you see a man whose lung capacity is
deficient. Such a person invariably expends his physical energy more
slowly.

Freckles, being due to the same causes as red hair and high color, are
further indications of thoracic tendencies, though you may belong to
this type with or without them.
