"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 culture library.

"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 a must have book for your physical culture library.

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.
