DEAR SIR,
_With regard to my opinion of Mr. Sandow’s system I cannot speak too
highly of it._
_I commenced the three months’ course when in poor health, brought
about by malarial fever, but after attending Mr. Sandow’s school for
two months I felt better than I had ever done previously._
_The increase in measurements which you have recorded is the result of
two hours’ conscientious work a week only._
_It would be fair to mention that when only 6 lessons remained before
the completion of the course, my exercises were interrupted owing to a
broken collar-bone. With better luck, these increases would possibly
have been greater._
_I am, Sir_,
_Yours truly_,
C. FOULKES.
