"A HEALTH BOOK FOR THE PEOPLE. For these reasons I want everyone
who is in search of health to read these pages carefully and
thoughtfully, as they contain health information of priceless
value, which, if it will not actually be sufficient to free them
from disease or prevent that condition, will at last prove a most
helpful signpost to every wanderer on the highway that leads to
Health. Those who are actually weak, ailing, or diseased, will find
much helpful information in the later chapters of this book,
especially that on 'Neurasthenia, ' and the chapter on 'How and Why
Scientific Physical Movement Cures Disease.' A great world-crusade
against physical decadence and disease is going to take place, and
we have in our own hands the weapon to destroy these enemies
altogether. 'All for Health' should be the motto of us all from now
forward, and I feel certain that after reading this work many will
be eager to render service in this great movement for the uplifting
of humanity. As I explain later, I have decided, with the
assistance of distinguished patrons and workers, to form an
'All-for- Health League'-what, I hope, will be a real League of
Nations against Disease-to spread the gospel of physical movement
as an agent-I might, indeed, call it the agent in advance-of
Health." - Eugen Sandow This is an 8.5" by 11" restored and
re-formatted edition of Sandow's 1920 classic. The text remains
exactly as written. This book has many pages with old photographs
and illustrations. This is a must have book for your physical

"In bringing the body to its highest pitch of perfection, various
moral qualities, the value of which it would be difficult to
over-estimate, must necessarily be brought into play. The first
essential to success is the power of concentrating the will upon
the work. Muscles are not developed by muscular action alone.
Physical exertion, however arduous and long continued, will not
make a man strong, or the day labourer and the blacksmith would be
the strongest of men. Mechanical and desultory exertion will never
materially increase a man's strength. He must first learn the great
secret, which ought to be no secret at all. He must use his mind.
He may not be able to add a cubit to his stature, but by taking
thought a man can most assuredly increase the size of his muscles,
strengthen all his organs, and add to his general vitality. But he
must put his mind, as well as his muscles, into the work. And by
exercise and practice the will-power is greatly increased, until,
in course of time, the whole organism is so absolutely under its
control that the muscles can be kept in perfect condition even
without what, in ordinary language, is called " exercise." That is
to say, that without violent exertion, but merely by the exertion
of the will, the muscles can be exercised almost to any extent. Can
it for a moment be supposed that this cultivation of the will-power
is not of great value to an individual, no matter what sort of task
or work he may be engaged in?" - Eugen Sandow This 1897 classic is

1894. This study reveals the marvel of anatomists, sculptors and
artists in the nude; embracing the great athlete's simple method of
physical education for the home, the gymnasium, and the Army
Training School; preceded by a biography dealing with the chief
incidents in Mr. Sandow's professional career, his phenomenal
prowess and gladiatorial skill in completive matches, contests and
exhibitions, with Mr. Sandow's scheme of dumbbell and barbell
exercises, and his views on the physiology of gymnastics, the
function of the muscles, etc. Copiously illustrated.
With anatomical chart, illustrating exercises for physical
development. In writing this book, the author took it as
commonplace that everyone, man, woman and child, wants to be
strong. Without strength, and by strength he means health, vitality
and a general sense of well-being, life is but a gloomy business.
Sandow claims that by carefully following out his system, set out
in this book, these results may be obtained.
This book describes the only natural, radical and permanent method
of curing, preventing and eliminating disease and is dedicated by
the author to the medical profession throughout the world. Sandow
devoted assiduous study to the subject of the influence of
scientific physical movement upon the wonderful cellular life of
the body, and especially to the influence of physical movement,
scientifically applied and carried out, upon the conscious
evolution of new and better cells. This volume is the outcome of
these studies, and its chief object is to show how such physical
movement can reconstruct tissue that is diseased, replacing it with
new and healthy tissue, and how, by applying it from childhood, we
may prevent and even eradicate disease altogether. Illustrated.
