Mr. Peters is a fine weight-lifter, having accomplished the splendid
feat of raising 210lb from the floor to arms’ length above the head,
_using one hand only_. This is probably the amateur record. As he is
only 23 years old there is yet plenty of time for him to far eclipse
even this striking feat.

DEAR SIR,
_It affords me much pleasure in stating that since I commenced taking
your course of instruction I have greatly increased in strength and
physical development--my biceps having increased two inches, and my
other muscles proportionately. I am convinced that a course of your
instruction would prove beneficial to any one, whether naturally
muscular or otherwise. Your system is one of such gradual progression
that it cannot fail to strengthen the constitution of a person even in
a delicate state of health. I shall have much pleasure in recommending
your School of Physical Culture to my friends._
_Yours sincerely_,
LESLIE HOOD.
