Better Health


MANY athletes do grueling
Avn track work or competitive
work with hearts that are badly
damaged-but damaged by pre-
vious disease. not by athletics.
A doctor began examining
track athletes and in a short
time had accumulated these
cases:
A 37-year-old man played 36
holes of golf a day on hilly
courses and won two cups. He
played as many as 80 match
games of bowling AT one time,
after he had played the 36 holes
of golf His heart was greatly
enlarged, in every direction: he
had murmer, but neither of
these was due 70 the exercise.
He had a history of rheu-
matte fever in childhood, and
the doctor who attended him
then said his heart was enlarged
and he had a murmer when ne
was y years old.
A Nd finally, our Selective
Service boards are being
far more critical than the
boards in England. where many
of our rejectees would be
accepted.
As matter of fact a number
of these bad. organically dis
eased hearts stand up very well
IN war service.
