Hip disease had afflicted him when a little child The inactivity of his life, the abwiute lack of exercise, the inability to occupy his mind with the pleasures and purâ€" suits of the average t’ifteemyear-«old boy, dragged him slowly down. cut him off from the rest of the world and made his little world acircutustance bound- ed by the four walls of the home at, No. 237 West 123rd St. New York.
