“Chicago–As a result of overdevotion to health promotion, Mrs. Nancy Balleon of Oak Park is near death.

While taking a sun bath yesterday Mrs. Balleon fell from a scaffolding she had built outside her room on the third floor of her home.

Mrs. Balleon had been interested in a number of health systems. After taking a walk in the morning in her bare feet, exercising on the parallel bars, and taking a cold plunge, she has been in the habit of spending several hours in her improvised sun porch. It is supposed that while dozing she rolled from her cot off the scaffolding. She is suffering from three broken ribs and concussion of the brain.”
