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.
