Louis man.
"This medical gentleman managed to
keep himself before the public for quite
u while by inveighlng in the city papers
against the bicycle, particularly as re.
garded Its effects on the health of wOm-
en- riders. He declared 1t to be the most
injurious form of exercise a woman
could take, and that IL persisted in 1t
would bring on all sorts of ailments
and diseases. He wrote In good vein.
and his pithy style made quite an i'm
preston among class of conservative
women who looked on the wheel with
distrust and dislike anyway, and who
were greatly pleased to hear 1t con.
dcmned from scientific source.
"As a matter Of fact, the only aim
and motive this doctor had was to get
his name before the public, and he sue.
cecded so well that from being an un.
known he speedily built up a fashion.

he believed half of what he wrote

that his Interior scheme was as have

"lIe was smart enough to see that his
reasoning, however fallaciOus. would
commend itself to certain class Of
women. and he knew further that no
other doctor Of high standing would go
to the trouble Of contradicting his
views In print. The papers were kind
enough to give him lot of free adver.
