Self-Doctored
The American Tennis Star Who’ Was Never Well TT may surprise most people to know X that Alice Marble, the American tennis • singles champion, who leapt into the limelight at Wimbledon recently, was an invalid not so long ago. She spent thousands of dollars on getting advice and doing what doctors told her. For nearly two years she was classed as “ill.” She got tired of that. She took the matter into her own hands. She left the specialists alone and started on a course of her own, suggested by a doctor friend. Even when she felt well, the tennis authorities would not let her play, thinking she was not well. She argued with them, played, proved herself well. How does she keep fit? By simple food. No fads. Plenty of milk and orange and fruit juice. Even meat when she feels like it. She 'believes most people eat too much. But she also believes that most people have to guide t.heir own diet by their individual tastes.
