Dear Nrse Davis:

I want to thank you for your hospitality and your
husband's Idndness in entertaining me yesterday afternoons I
enjoyed it very very muche

I @lsoe premised to send you sone information on viteminse
This is the dopes For sonetime there has been much interest in
the means ef building cardiae reservee Accumulated evidence in
the last years would indicate that the giving of bitemin B compound,
giycing, and dextrose would aid in restoring cardiac reserve when _—
it is lost through verious types of disease and inertiag For
several years these methods have been employed in practice and the
imprevenén’t. shown in many of the patients has impressed the general
practitionerse

Many of the research men have felt that if this improvement
could be brought about in exhausted hearts from disease, then it
would be possible to improve cardiac reserve in those who are under
great physical strain. We have used these methods on our basketball
players the last two years and we have had exceptional resultse

We use one capsule of betulin compound three times daily
after mealge This is an extract of birch bark and is compounded by
Eli Lilly Companye The capsules are quite expensive but if you would
likes to get some I would be glad to order them wholesale for youe

? We also use one tablespoon of dexin (destrose sugar made by
Burrows & Wellcome) in a glass of lenomde ten minutes before mealtime
(once a day)e

Also we use one tablespoon of glycolixer (alyeine) by Squibb
three times a day just before moalsse

If you would interested further in this I would be glad to
stop by and talk with youe I kmow it will help youe

With all good wishes, I am,
Sincerely yours,
