"a tennis player has had curious
experience" says the st. James Gazette
"He has had sore elbow joint. What
is the meaning of it? What should he
do about it?' Who will tell him how to
cure itp Tennis-elbow is a common
complaint. With him it came on quite
suddenly, and he has tried embrocations
and warm lamentations without avail.
This week he played two sets, but had
to give up, the pain was SO intense.
He is very unhappy. Friends have told
him that tennis-elbow sometimes re-
mains for a year or even longer.
