...coffee drinking, is utterly false. On the contrary, of the two hundred and fifty men who have been examined, only two have been restricted from the use of the Gymnasium. Of course there have been instances of palpitation of the heart, but nothing more serious than that caused by overwork on the semi-annuals, or excessive exercise just previous to the examination...
...Faculty, and will have full charge of his department. Under Dr. Sargent's instruction the utmost will be made of the advantages which the new Gymnasium affords. Men will not refrain from training through fear of physical injury, nor will the more ambitious be liable to injure themselves by overwork. The result cannot fail to be a fresh impetus to our athletic sports. We hope, too, that many who have not been accustomed to devote time to gymnastic exercise will do so now.

His professional position requires him to live in an expensive house upon which he pays taxes, though the mortgage upon it exceeds its value. His health is failing from overwork, and, so far as exemption from financial anxiety goes, he is in a worse position than the clergyman. And yet it will be seen at a glance that he is prevented from making any statement of his affairs. How can he proclaim to his eager competitors that his best patients...
