Wrong Combinations of Food Cause Discomfort, Disease and Death You would not expect a steam engine to give long or effic­ ient service if you used impure water that left a sediment in the boiler, or used fuel that was unsuited to the furnace. The hu­ man body is an engine—marvelous, truly, but still mechanical in its action. Eat wrong foods or wrong combinations of food and you will inevitably lessen your own efficiency, cause yourself discom fort and dullness, and eventually death-producing disease. Drugs may relieve you temporarily, but to be CURED you must remove the cause.

NO FOODS SOLD NO FASTING NO EXERCISES Healthful, Appetizing Combinations of Ordinary Daily Foods. A long and exhaustive study of correct diet enables me to speak with authority on food questions and advise everyone as to the combinations of foods most suited to their indi­ vidual requirements— combinations that will cure and avoid disease, yield the limit of health and vitality, preserve youth and ward off deterioration of the faculties and old age. During my experiments I have produced at will in myself, by eating certain wrong foods for a few days or weeks, such diseases as Rheumatism, Catarrh, Tonsilitis, Swollen Glands, Constipation, Kidney Troubles, Shortness of Breath, Dandruff, Dry Hair, Boils, Black­ heads, Rash and other abnormal conditions, AND I CAN CURE THESE SYM PTOM S OF ILL HEALTH IN A FEW DAYS BY CORRECT FOODS.

Success is largely a matter of salesmanship, and every adult being is a salesman. He sells his services, whether he sells manu­ factured products or not. Salesmanship is a science and a fine art based on (1) knowledge of self, and (2) knowledge of human nature. The man who knows not these things sells himself. No, worse. He gives himself away.

Such Praise for Sanatogen Means that it Would Help My Nerves

When your nerves are calling for help—the one conclusive argument in favor of any means of aid is the experience of others. The experience of others has made plain the danger of quick stimulants and the danger of mere experiment. But when 15,000 practising physicians and many thousands of other men and women, including eminent representatives of the great professions, testify to personal test o f Sanatogen, the food tonic, and to its direct and specific help in restoring the health of the nerves, you have the best possible reason for believing that Sanatogen will help your nerves. Sanatogen is a scientific adaptation to the real worry or over-activity—it nourishes and replen- needs of a starved nervous system. ishes the very sources of their strength.

This book also contains evidence of the value of Sanatogen which is as remarkable as it is conclusive.

The picture on the right reveals the wonderful change wrought in body and brain development at the age of seventy, by concentration of •will in doing a few simple exercises while lying in bed every morning. EXERCISIN G IN BED by Sanford Bennett is a revelation of the POWER OF MIND to rejuvenate when the will controls physical activity. He overcame the conditions and appearances of old age, hardening of the art­ eries, varicose veins, obesity, baldness, dyspepsia, and gained youthful vigor and mental power. EXERCISIN G IN 11ED will furnish every Mental Scientist with a method of mental concentration that will enable him to manifest the full power of his mind in physical and mental health. The chapter on THE W ILL IN EXERCISING gives the keynote to the method and its wonderful power.
