Now for the dexin. We give a small oup to each boy prior to going
on the floor for the game and a small cup between halves. During the
practice days we give the dexin and lemon juice after the shower bath be-
fore the boy starts home for his evening mal. )

Now, let me make this clear. A tablespoonful of glyoolixir before
each meal and one before bedtime. We take a small jelly glass and mark
on the glass a level tablespoonful of liquid. Then we pour it in the glass
rather than have the boys take it from a spoon, That is more like medicine.

The capsule of betulin, which is extract of liver and so forth, is
taken after the meal, but it is not necessary to take one at bedtime if
it seems to cause any flatulency or gas. Some boys are enthusiastic about
it and then others do not care as meh for the capsule as they do for the
glyeolixir, - the liquid. : oes

Now for the drink -.the dexin is a Burroughs and Wellcome product,
an English concern. Any druggist will get it. It is a highly electro-
lyzed sugar broken up into the finest particles so that invalids and babes
easily digest it. ‘ie take on an average of half a lemon to two small paper
cups of water, then we add about half a teaspoon of sugar to this amount
and about a tablespoonful of dexin. In other words, we mix up a large
bateh, so a dozen lemons to a gallon of water, and we add enough sugar to
make the liquid tasty and tarty. The dexin is not very sweet so we add |
sugar, and about eight or ten tablespoons of dexin. We make it just like .
@ fellow would make lemonade, so it is tarty, palatableg.and yet not sweet.
This releases the energy in the tissues in ten or fifteen minutes just at |
the fag end of a game when a boy is tiring. Then this takes effect, and
the lemon juice keeps the individual from being thirsty besides supplying
the vitamin C that is needed.

I tell the boys - What ethyl gas is to cheap gas, dexin is to the
athletes . : :
