An inspiring, helpful and well illustrated book, dedicated to the cause of strength and clean living. All will find this great book of value: the average person who wants only a sound body as well as the young who want to be strong, powerful and champions in sports. Every parent, guardian or teacher who is interested in the physical and moral welfare of their young people will want to inspire and encourage them to complete development by bringing them the message of this book. Although the instruction has been designed especially to help young people, the course is of value to all ages. No boy is too young, no man too old for this inspiring, challenging training. A fuller, more useful life can be anyone’s: student, athlete, businessman or laborer.
Here is an outline of what you will find in this important body-building book:

•Practical suggestions for those who want to gain or lose weight, with exercises and food chart.
