Dear Dre Allens

For some time I have been very much interested in means of
pbuilding cardiac reserve. Accumulated evidence in the last few years
would indicate that the giving of vitamin B compound, glycine, and dex-
trose would aid in restoring cardiac reserve when it is lest through
various types of disease. For several years now we have employed these
methods in our practice and have been impressed with the improvement shown
in many of these patients.

It occurred to me that this improvement can be brought about in ©
exhausted hearts from disease, why wouldn't it be possible to improve
cardiac reserve in those who are under great physical strain, and with your
cooperation I would be very mush pleased to try it on some of your playerse
I would suggest that we start with a few members so that we will have some
method of control as to the value of our results.

The following is the method I would like to follows

One capsule of betulin compound three times daily after meals
A tablespoon full of dexin (destrose sugar made by Burrows & _

. Wellcome) in glass of lemonade ten minutes before game time
and between halfs.

A tablespoon full of glycolixer by Squibb (glycine) three
times dailye

Please let me know your reaction and if you have any suggestions to adde

Sincerely yours,
