ATHLETICS AND HEALTH
NO EFFECT OH ARTERIES DOCTOR’S REMARKABLE EXPERIMENT. LONDON, February 13. Dr Adolphe Abraham, of Westminster Hospital, lecturing at the Royal College of Surgeons, described a remarkable experiment to test the effect of athletics on the arteries. “It has been said that prolonged strenuous athletics deteriorates the arteries, and I determined on a test. A specialist removed one of my arteries and revealed that after twenty-seven years of athletics and hard exercise 1 am as good a man as one who has never undertaken hard exercise.” Dr Abraham objected to the tendency to attribute deaths during athletic efforts to heart failure.—Sydney ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
