I 



AM TEACHING intelligent men, brain workers, 

 the ideal principles of attaining and preserving 

 perfect health. It is not a problematical theory, 

 but a system of physiological exercise based upon ab- 

 solutely correct scientific facts. And if you will follow 

 my instructions for a few weeks I will promise you such 

 a superb muscular development and such a degree of 

 vigorous health as to forever convince you that intelli- 

 gent direction of muscular effort is just as essential to 

 success in life as intelligent mental effort. No pupil of 

 mine will need to digest his food with pepsin nor assist 

 nature with a dose of physic. I will give you an appetite 

 and a strong stomach to take care of it; a digestive system 

 that will HI your veins with rich blood; a strong heart that 

 will regulate ..rculation and improve assimilation; a pair of lungs 

 that will purify your blood; a liver that will work as nature designed it should ; a set of 

 nerves that will keep you up to the standard of physical and mental energy. I will in- 

 crease your nervous force and capacity for mental labor, making your daily work a pleasure. 

 You will sleep as a man ought to sleep. You will start the day as a mental worker must 

 who would get the best of which his brain is capable. I can promise you all of this because 

 it is common sense, rational and just as logical as that study improves the intellect. 



I have devoted years to the study of anatomy, physiology, pathology, histology and 

 hygiene; also to the effect and influence of physiological exercise upon the nervous system 

 and the process of digestion and assimilation. This scientific and thorough study which 

 I have made of the physiological effect of exercise, such as the physical and chemical 

 changes which take place in the blood and every cell and tissue of the body, has never 

 been undertaken by any other instructor or scientist. This knowledge combined with vast 

 experience enables me to adapt my instructions successfully to all conditions of health, 

 and to all ages of either sex. 



Absolutely Cures Constipation, Indigestion, 

 Sleeplessness, Nervous Exhaustion and 

 Revitalizes the whole body,

Alois P. Swoboda, Chicago — Dear Sir: 

 I have delayed writing you relative to 

 the effects and advantages of your sys- 

 tem until time had confirmed its promises 

 and realties. I am now enabled to write 

 and give your system unstinted praise, 

 and will be pleased to recommend your 

 treatment wherever and whenever called 

 upon. It is all you claim for it and only 

 requires of your students a conscientious 

 application. I have not had a head- 

 ache since commencing the exercises 

 under your direction and can say to all 

 inquirers to "throw physic to the dogs." 



You are welcome to this endorsement 

 and hope that your business will meet with all the success it merits 

 Yours truly, (Signed) A. G. Mackenzie, Justice of the Peace. 



My system is taught by mail only and with perfect success, 

 requires no apparatus whatever, and but a few minutes' 

 time in your own room just before retiring, and it is 

 the only one which does not overtax the heart. 



I shall be pleased to send you free valuable informa- 

 tion and detailed outline of my system, its principles 

 and effects, together with testimonial letters from pupils. 



ALOIS P. SWOBODA, 



454 Western Book Bldg., Chicago, 111.
