Dear Mr. Sandow,
After six months training as a pupil at your School of Physical Culture (Manchester), I now feel qualified to judge as to the merits of your system.
For the perfect and symmetrical development of the human form I can conceive of nothing which rivals the dumb-bell and rubber exercises as taught and practised in your gymnasia.
