M O S T rogular    There is nothing morc worth having

readers havc scen    tlian perfcct fitness, and in the major-

thc fine poses and    ity of cases, it can easily be obtaincd.

The wonderful Back Muscles of J. PYATT, Apollon Pupil.

rcad of thc f e a t s o f s t r e n g t h pcrformed by the rc-doubtable Apollon pupil, Bronze-Lcagucr J. Pyatt, of \Iexborough.

Pyatt is a pit-workcr, and a fcw days ago was hit by a fali of stonc.

Result, a brokcn rib and a badly laccratcd back. Ile writcs: “Thanks to physical culture and thc strength 1 posscss, I was able to lift the stone ołT :ny body, and by contracting my; abdominal musclcs 1 prcvcntcd any* possiblc injury. This is thc third timc that a fit body has saved me from scrious injury. 1 hope to be fully recovered in a few weeks.”

This is, of course, but one of the many examp!es of ho w a physically-fit conslitution has prevented serious injury, but how many accidents that do happcn and involvc loss of lifc might be prevented were the unfortunatc people involved possessed of physical fitness ?

The case of Pyatt, some of you may argue, is an exceptional one. The ęhances of a similar accident happening to you might bc a million to one, but you can ncvcr tell! You may be Crossing the Street, or cven walking on the pavement when you might mcct troublc.

J. Pyatt is one of the great artny of Apollon pupils who possess supcrlativc physique and abounding health and strength. His rccent accident, des-cribed on the Editor’s page, will in no sensc incapacitate him for long—thanks to his fine physiąuc- and in a fcw weeks hc will be back again amazing cveryone by his astounding fcats of strength. If you are interested in get-ting fit, in Strong Man Feats, in obtain-ing a big, husky physiąuc, writc to the Mighty Apollon.
