226 SPORT INDEED 



And now, dear reader, I have finished my essay on 

 lumbago. Should you chance to be bothered with this 

 tormentor of humanity, don't dally with it but adopt 

 my treatment at once. It is true that the paddling of 

 canoes and climbing over rough roads and tramping 

 through wet bogs are not among the recreations of 

 ordinary city life ; but the jumping part of the pro- 

 gramme is open to you. If you do enough of this you 

 will probably think you can dispense with the other en- 

 joyments, and possibly you can. Kesolution and pluck 

 are the only ammunition you will need to fight your 

 battle to a successful end. I admit that my tactics 

 are rather heroic, and that there is one difficulty always 

 standing in their way — the difficulty of getting 

 together enough of the fore-mentioned ammunition.
