This man discovered that Cobb had
unusually large veins and an en-.
larged heart. Cobb had exercised
for years, ever since his early boy
hood. He had always exercised
strenuously, causing the veins to
enlarge at an early age.
The doctor told him that there
was no danger as long as he con.
tinued exercising, but warned him
against serious consequences IL he
ever terminated his athletic en-
deavors.

and Clarke related what happened
to him when he quit baseball.
Clarke stopped exercising when he
quit, and soon after his heart
troubled him. He consulted q ply
stefan and was told that his heart
was bad. The doctor told him to
report for daily treatments. After
a week or so OF treatment there
was no change for the better.
The Doctors office was three
blocks from the car line and the
doctor was at his office promptly at
3 o'clock each morning. BY being
in the office before that hour
Clarke was always assured OF hav-

street car. In order not to miss
his turn Clarke ran at top speed
to the, doctor;s office, three blocks

When he was examined few
