The Olympic Games' 1500-metres champion J. E. Lovelock, now on the medical staff of St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, has written a book entitled “Athletics for Health,” which, because of the clearness and simplicity of its style, and its cheapness, should have a wide appeal. It has been written mainly for the schoolboy and the dub member, but it provides food for thought and practical help for the athlete of any age. “Definitely it fills a gap in athletic instructional literature—and it marks a new stage in Lovelock’s brilliant and eventful life. He is publishing it himself,” was the comment of the Daily Mail. RUSSIAN DOCTOR’S CLAIMS. LONDON June 11.
