would be hard to exaggerate
the importance Of a good man
ager to a boxer and more espe-
cially to a young boxer who
has made up his mind that he
is going to get somewhere in
the game.
have always been fortunate in
being intelIigently managed but as
/ worked my way up / have seen
scores of cases Of promising young
boxers suffering heart-breaking re-
verses before they even had a
chance. That. If nothing else, has
made me appreciate Billy Gibson all
the more for the honest and intelli-
gent manner in which he has con-
Quoted my boxing affairs.
Usually. the young boxer just
starting out falls into the hands OF
incompetent managers. Rarely are
they ever taken up by the top
notchers at once. but if they tie
themselves up too closely and for
too long a period it is an even
chance that they never will be
taken in hand by a first class mana
ger who can see something besides
his own immediate interest in the
youngster.

The message was delivered to the
barn, but fell into the hands of
disgruntled stable boy, who quit sooE
after the accident and took the tele-
grams along with him. Consequent
Iy, Trainer Bringloe never received
same and allowed the Saagram
horses to fulfill their engagements.
Seagram's message also stated to
have y cAsket and flowers purchased
for his late riding star, but as no
one around the stable was Informed
of same, this request on the part oil
the Canadian sportsman was not car
Tied out.
The failure Of the messages to fall
into the proper hands has caused
much anguish to Owner Seagram,
and the writer takes this means of
letting the racing world know that
through no fault of Owner Seagram
or Trainer Bringloe the horses were
kept in training and not scratched

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice BeIden-

@Dy liz DAAGS DGAuEAA
THE great father Of English
i Medicine, Sydenham, spent a
lot of time wondering why there
were such things as Plaques"
and epidemics. Even when germs
were first seen under the newly
invented microscope everybody's
attention was focused on them
and people failed for centuries to
look on them as causes of1disease.
More philosophical theories were
elaborated and believed.
At last Pasteur did show that
germs cause disease. Then 1t was
found that many germs were al.
ways present, yet sometimes they
would cause disease and some
times they would remain inactive.
Recently, says Goodall a number
of eminent medical men have
been going back to the work of
Sydenham and have realized that,
although our knowledge of germs
helps us tremendously in dealing
with individuals who are suffer
ing from their inroads, it does not
completely explain or forecast the
epidemics that sweep over us
from time to time. There is some-
thing more. And we now know
that that something is very inn
portant to the public health and
preventive medicine. We must,
therefore, get down to and under
stand that mysterious something
more"
Sydenham Introduced the words
epidemic constitution" in 1876.
Nowadays we talk of a persons
constitution and not of the con-
stitution of his surroundings. But
the word constitution as used
by Sydenham meant surroundings,
or environment - for instance.
weather conditions.
Hippocrates. the father of medl-
cine, years before Christ, used the
word in the same connection. Thus
the constitution" during which
the epidemic of mumps broke out
in Thasos was inclined to be
southerly;" i. e., moderate south
winds and mild weather. By the
sixteenth century physicians had
realized that there was something
more in it" than the weather,
and were appealing to the in
fluence of some mysterious change
in the air as the cause of an
epidemic.
Sydenham divided the prevalent
epidemic diseases into two groups.
the stationary and the intercur.
rent. The latter were dependent
on more or less obvious causes,
such as the temperature, the rain
fall and the wind. The stationary
fever depended upon the "epi'
demic constitution, by which
was then meant the constitution
of the atmosphere. At any one
time, according to this theory,
there could be only one epidemic
constitution" In existence, and
therefore only one stationary dis
ease, and the two might last for
a variable period.
The existing constitution" not
only determined what the station
ary fever of the day should be,
but also impressed its characters
upon such intercurrent fevers as
turned up at the time. Thus
from 1867 to 1868 the 'constitu-
tion" was variolus (variola.small.
pox). so the stationary fever was
smallpox. but the intercufrent
prevalent during that period Il. e.
feverish disease not named and a
diarrhoea) 1t WAS thought showed
some of the features OF smallpox
but without the eruption.
