THE Strain Of Modern Life.
ITO the Editor the Times.
sir In connection with the recent
correspondence in your columns on the
Strain of Modern Life, I wonder If any
of your readers are aware that there
exists in the county of Worcestershire
an establishment expressly designed to
correct this strain. At Healthward Ho
formerly Graveney Court, under the
auspices of the we'll known American
physician and physical culture expert,
Doctor Alexander Twist, 1t is possible
for those who have allowed the demands
OF modern life TO tax their physique too
greatly to recuperate in ideal sur
roundings and by means of early hours,
wholesome exercise and Spartan fare
TO build up once more their debilitated
tissues
1T is the boast of Doctor Twist that
he makes New Men for Old.

Sherlock Holmes-and even, on one
