An Injection of novocain for Bendigo Gift candidate, Les Streete, 24 hours before his race today. The pressure of the ioleus muscle on the nerves arcumd a bone causes pain. The injection relieves the pain for between 48 and 72 hours. Favorite: Lismore hairdresser, ***** Streete, who has been backed down to "no quote" for the "Bendigo Thousand" footrace, had a novocain injection for a painful muscle before Saturday's heats. Streete won his heat brilliantly. March 08, 1948.
