In this short article Dr. Bishop of New York advocates golf as a good form of moderate exercise to those who suffer from heart trouble. Yet, "Because the patient finds himself benefited by nine holes of golf on a level links, such as that of the east course at the Maidstone Club, at Easthampton, Long Island, he must not conclude that he will derive four times the benefit from thirty-six holes. It is better to play nine holes today and nine holes tomorrow...and tomorrow find oneself playing on that famous course on the Stygian Fields..." D&J B16810. No copies found by OCLC / Worldcat.
