Mr.. Beach's system of training includes a
run Of two or three miles before breakfast
walk of six or seven miles afterwards, and
pull over the course After dinner comes
another two mile walk and a second pull
over the course during which he rows him
self right out, eases off, and then pulls
again A long walk concludes the dav.
man under such physical strain, even
though he be a giant must often feel the
failure of his strength to his will and power
full though he be, it is not surprising that Mr.
Bta candidly states that during his train
ing, previous TO meeting Edward Hanlan the
second t me for the worlds championship,
his trainer bought for him Warmers safe
cure and he says: II was agreeably aston
ished at the great benefit which followed its
use. While in training he finds this the best
possible aid to a command of all his natural
powers, because it does not first gOad and
afterward weaken the system, but acts in
perfect harmony with natures laws.
Mr Bcachs experience is confirmed by the
experience of many thousands Of athletes all
over the world Under the great physical
strain they break down and die prematurely,
because they have not been able to keep dis
case away from their kidneys and liver,
whence most diseases originate. Mr. Beach
recognizes this necessity, and has sagacty
enough to use the only scientific specific for
that purpose. He has not only tie prestige
of victory, but the prestige of a true scien-
titic method Of training AMI keeping up his
wonderful physical condition If he did not
voluntarily give up the championship, it
would no doubt be a long time before it was
wrested from him
