Shows That When Properly Used
Under skiIlfuI Instructor, Physical
Culture Will Werk Wonders in
Broken Down, Nervous and De-
sPendent Business Men.

A few days before Thanksgiving day
a well-known banker called at the Of
fees of the German American Doc
tors, in the Thiesen building, and said:
Doctor, l have be feeling tired and
worn-out for some time, exactly like a
nervous breakdown. and that is what
the doctors I have been to have told
me had and now, on the advice of
my family physician, who has treated
me for three months for this trouble
without making the least visible head
way l come to you people to get you
to treat me; I want some medicine
| right away; am almost to pieces"
Our Chief Physician gave this man
| a most careful examination; he ascer-
tanned the exact condition Of each
pelvic organ; he examined the urine
| and the blood; he tested the function
ing of the stomach; he examined his
| spine from top to bottom, and then to
the great astonishment of the banker,
gave him this advice:
go to the Pastime Athletic Club, on
Romano street, right west of PaIafox,
see the manager, Professor Harry
| Goldin, and place yourself under his
care; have him prescribe your exer-
cises. and to box with you not over
ten minutes each morning the first
week; twenty minutes the second
| week, and thirty minutes the third
week and after. Begin rope skipping
and bowling in the third week. and
| KEEP AWAY FROM THE BATH
| TUB AND HOT BATH WATER FOR
| TWO WEEKS, and come back and ses
me at the end Of the month; under
no circumstances take a dose of medi-
cine for four weeks, then come to me-
| and will give you the right medicine
| the medicine that you need for Just
this trouble, but at present you are
| absolutely filled with the wrong kind
| of medicine; you are physically and
mentally broken down, and you need
change, not chance of scenery, not
a change of homes, but a change of
thought for few minutes each day
and little physical exercise rightly
directed. Listen, to me now: the first
time Professor Goldin slaps you In the
face good and hard, your temper is
going to get the best of You and you
are going all to the bad, unless you
learn how to control yourself, and for
that there is nothing better than box
ing, and Professor Goldin is one of the
best instructors in the business" 1
you mean to tell me that I get no
medicine from you? Do you mean to
| tell sensible man like me that all 1
need is to punch the bag, and strike a
man, and jump over the rope a few
times a day? Are you trying to make
J an old fool out of me?''
! The doctor explai. ID to the banker
his reason, and the gentleman went to
Professor Goldin; he didn't go there
boldly; he sneaked up the stairs; said
he didn't want anyone to see him
going to an Athletic Club; said he was
q pillar of his church and couldn't af-
4 ford to do it; besides, what would his
son say.
That was over a month ago; you
wouldn't know the banker to be the
/. same man that came to the German
american Doctors for treatment; he is
new man; in his own words to our
Chief today he said, as he grabbed the
dcctor's hands:
Doctor, that man Goldin is a won
der; he is making new man out of
me; / sleep like a top; / eat three
times a day and my wife swears she
has married a new man; and say, doc
tor, am going up to that man regu-
, larly and have had my boy join the
club, too, and / find that all the best
men of the city belong and enjoy the
contests and good fellowship that
Manager Goldin keeps up so well; be-
sides, 1 got acquainted with Goldin,
and he is a mighty good fellow and
a big booster for Pensacola, too. / am
advising all my friends to let Goldin
have them for a few weeks instruc-,
ton"
And his advice is good advice, too.
We don't mean to say that this man
would have needed no medicine, but
he had taken medicine; 1t had cured
him Of all it could possibly cure; what
he needed was change for those tired
nerves; the Chief Physician knew by
bitter experience that this man could
not leave his work to take much
needed rest and he had found that
physical culture, under the right kind
of an instructor, would work wonders,
and surely Professor Goldin worked
| wonders with this man.
We cure; we don't simply treat you;
we don't hold you along day after day,
shaking you down for your last dollar.
and we don't always use medicines to
/ accomplish a cure; we tell you, will
ingly and freely, just what is best for
you to do, knowing that your own
good Judgment, once the case and situ-
alton is made plain TO you, will tell
you what is best to do. (Adv)
