In this way, you will learn the incredible results that one man has achieved at age seven- ty-three—when so many men and women his own age are already feeble and tottering toward their graves—through the application of scientific principles of super health. Then you will be introduced directly to these principles themselves, to put them to work—instantly—in your own life. This is a perfectly valid way to read this book, and we have arranged the chapters so that you may do so if you so wish, However, when I began working on this book with “Doc” Tilney, I realized at once that this was not simply the ordinary type of how-to, or good health book. Here, for perhaps the first time in my publishing experience, I found myself dealing with an individual of such towering moral strength, and such firm and uncompromising beliefs, that I knew that I must coax him to tell his own personal life story to you. Doe Tilney was reluctant to do this, and it took weeks and even months of continuous correspondence to pull it out from him, detail by detail. It is a story of great per- sonal drama—of one man’s ultimate and continuing triumphs over the handicaps of ignorance and a poor hereditary birthright. It is a story that should be read and cherished by every individual who is seeking from a book such as this not only mere good health, but also personal inspiration, However, since this material is not strictly informa- tional, I have seen fit not to place it at the beginning of the book, but at the end, concentrated in Chapter 15. iLI therefore suggest a second, alternate way of reading this inspiring volume. And that is this: Read the preface by Doc Tilney, and see how incredi- bly young and powerful he is at the age of seventy-three. Then turn directly to Chapter 15, and see for yourself that this is not a natural, or supernatural gift of the gods. That, to achieve this bursting vitality at this advanced age, Doc Tilney had to discover, develop and perfect these super health principles against the worst kind of repression, ignorance, and even family opposition. If he could develop such a magnificent life, against such overwhelming odds, what can you not do with these same principles—delivered to you in such a condensed and readable form! I believe that Doc Tilney proves, once and for all, that old age need NOT begin for us at forty —or fifty—or sixty—or seventy—or even eighty. He opens an entirely new way of life—a new way of youth—to every man and woman in his prime! This, then, is his incredible story—and the principles that make it so powerful. T hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Eugene M. Schwartz 12FOREWORD By BEN WEIDER, Ph.D. Director, International Federation of Body Builders Awaiting you is a rare experience. You'll find this book like a passport to a wonderful NEW KIND OF LIFE. Dr, Tilney brings you a new concept of More Abundant Living. He is now in his seventies—an age when most men are pretty feeble. Dr. Tilney has all the keen enthusiasm, remarkable vitality and zest for living of a youngster, and youll see he conveys this amazing exuberance and dynamic power in his writings. His inspiring words of wisdom and concern for your interest will help restore your peace of mind, giving you a new incentive and a new confidence in living as he advocates. He shows, by his own example, how to enjoy a long lifetime with free- dom from weakness, sickness and disease. You'll enjoy learning of Dr. Tilney’s fascinating tech- niques for experiencing a long, useful life. As you follow his teachings you can know the wonderful exhilaration of remaining tireless, painless and ageless. Dr. Tilney is an internationally known Educator of the Science of Natural Living, commanding the respect and admiration of all who know him the world over, Having been closely associated with his work since 1939, and seen for myself over the years the far-reaching influence of his prolific writings on all phases of the Science of Living, IT can assure you that you can have implicit confidence in the principles he advocates. He gives you today’s space-age methods of getting and keeping trim and fit so you feel vitally ALIVE all over. Starting from your present condition—if you are not 13actually bed-ridden or suffering from organic sickness such as heart disease—Dr. Tilney shows you how, in a few minutes a day, right in the comfort and privacy of your own home, you can work what may seem like a miracle on your body during the coming weeks, to enable you to look and feel your best, and acquire the attractive body you can be genuinely proud of. In marked contrast to many writers who assume it is only necessary to observe just one pet idea of theirs, Dr. Tilney stresses the broad, wide range of essential consid- erations to which one must give attention to attain the effective results, You will find this bright and refreshing book full of inspiring, vitally interesting and understand- able information of inestimable value, a book you can use immediately and profit by. Think of now being able to virtually control your des- tiny by learning how to protect your fitness and well-being! By giving new impetus to the importance of natural living, always of vital concern to Dr. Tilney, several mil- lion persons all over the world have been inspired and helped by his fabulous result-producing teachings, and countless thousands of young men have learned from him how to grow strong in body, mind and character. In fact, since its inception, twenty three years ago, Dr. Tilney has been advisor to the International Federation of Body Builders, now successfully functioning in fifty-two countries, teaching its members a wholesome way of life, which includes education on the Science of Living with- out which success in life is impossible; the principles for achieving personal fitness—because no amount of educa- tion without good health could achieve satisfying success; also hygienic methods of living and eating nutritious foods properly combined. Dr. Tilney’s program provides truly authoritative infor- mation on how to live a healthier, happier and longer life. He urges you to test these principles—which he reveals on himself—and personally discover how the application of 14his teachings can actually transform your life. Having myself visited 97 countries around the globe I realize how much Dr. Tilney’s exciting book is needed by people all over the world.

Only a few weeks ago one of the local newspaper reporters stated: “It’s strange that science has largely neglected studying those of advanced age. It would seem that if more were known about the habits of those who reach 100, physicians could better advise those of us aspiring to such an age. Common sense dictates that long life must be more than chance and happenstance. There must be a combination of factors which increase man’s chances for living to an advanced age, and the sooner this formula becomes common knowledge, the longer many of us can hope to survive.” This reporter further asks: “To what extent do diet, exercise, outside interests, and family inheritance contrib- ute to man’s length of life? Previous surveys revealed nothing more exciting than the conclusion that most centenarians don't worry, don't get angry, and ‘take life as it comes.’” He adds: “Uncle Sam has given many grants for studies on various aspects bf health and aging. But to date there has never been a major study to discover what factors may have contributed to the longevity of our eldest citizens.” Recently I received a letter from my cousin and among other things he stated: “I have not got the pep I used to have. The ‘get up and go’ has gone and went! Well, Fred, how do you feel? Are you slowing down?” The answer is—NO, I'm not slowing down, I feel better than ever, even though I am in my seventies. I actually feel better than when I was a youngster, with no evidence of physical deterioration, and the full use of all my facul- ties. Lam as agile, supple and flexible as most folks can be, with no stiffness, aches, pains or other physical dis- tress. Tam in superb condition. And T am striving, every day, for even further improvement. 17I keep in shape, first of all, because it makes me feel good. Secondly, because I frequently make personal appearances before large groups, and want them to see for themselves that I have all the fire and force, the dynamic energy and enthusiasm we ALL should have. And third—and most important—my daily actions and habits today will largely determine my future destiny and fitness. So it pays me to be good to myself, and each day's efforts contribute to a better, brighter tomorrow. During the past 60 years I have made a study of the SCIENCE OF LIVING. I was eager to find out, for exam- ple, how to have mastery over various diseases; how to create my own good health; and how to increase my life span and postpone old age indefinitely. (My mother died when she was 51, and she was sick most of the years I knew her; my father died when he was 59.) I wanted to know how I could change my life for the better. How to overcome tiredness, pain, the dull routine of merely existing; to be more vibrantly youthful, power- charged and free from frustrating physical weakness. This plan is based, not only on my own discoveries, but also upon medical confirmation of my theories, like this: Speaking at the annual scientific assembly of the Ameri- ean Academy of General Medical Practice, a Michigan doctor kicked some crutches away from the aging by insisting they couldn't blame their ailments on time, and he labeled as brainwashing the concept that “debilities come with age, and at 65 one is over the hill.” Dr. Frederick C. Swartz, of Lansing, said: “There are no diseases caused by the mere passage of time. The forget- ful mind results from lazy habit of study and lack of moti- vation, The cure for these so-called stigmata of aging is obvious—exercise and study. “The potbelly and flabby muscles that result from lack of exercise . . . the painful stiff knees and flat feet that come from long time pounding by too much weight, pre- sent a picture of dilapidation which represents long-time 18lack of care, and is not due to the passage of the hours.” Dr. Swartz recommended self discipline in a program of good posture, daily mental exercises and careful regula- tion of body weight. This was his advice for living longer and better. Dr. Edward Bortz, at a Committee on Aging in Chi- cago, recently said: “That more people don’t reach the cen- tury mark seems to stem from the fact they are not will- ing to follow a regimen of proper diet, exercise, rest and recreation, coupled with the exclusion of stimulants, depressants and other excesses. Proper diet, exercise, and an active mind are essential to proper aging.” He further added: “It would seem that we would be much better off if our food intake were just about half of what the nation is consuming. Exercise is vital because unless we physically use our bodies, and do it continually . muscles deteriorate and grow slack, bones become more susceptible to damage . . . and the heart loses some of its ability to cope with sudden tensions.” Once again, these comments are medical confirmations of the facts I have proven in my own way of living—the same exact Plan | have advocated for you. Here it is, as I use it every day: I wake up at around 6 o'clock each morning. Immediately, I concentrate on some positive thoughts to help bring into realization that day's objec- tives. Generally, I sleep alone, in a room I use as my office, where I have a hide-a-bed. The reason is, I like to study before finally going to sleep, and the light is apt to disturb Mrs, Tilney, Also, I like to caress her, and under the cir- cumstances, probably neither of us would get much sleep. But at 6 AM every morning, I go into her bed, and we enjoy almost two hours of loving. We stay on a perpetual heneymoon, which we find soul-nourishing and vitalizing. We keep our romance alive, and we are still sweethearts after half a century. Incidentally, every morning, I tell her about some of 19our first signal experiences during our courtship, in 1915 and 1916, (1 recently read that Dr. Norman Vincent Peale advocated the same idea ). Following this delighttul Love Ritual, | do a considera- ble number of sit-ups and thigh raisings while Iving on the bed, T also raise my mid-section up and down to improve circulation throughout the entire area. Then—standing before a large mirror—1 elench my fist and fling my arms out and up and backwards while T mentally, meaningtully repeat such affirmations as: “LAM Power,” “T AM Health!”, “I AM Courage!” and other such positive thoughts. 1 repeat them each time 1 swing my fists out, taking in great gulps of clean fresh air with each thought suggestion. This is followed by a shower, during which time I give mysclf a vigorous body massage, and usually pound my chest and spine with my hands, to help stir up blood cir- culation, vitalize the nerves, help work out any mucus aceumuation, Then I finish off with feather-like strokes to leave the nerve terminals soothed and calmed. Sometimes T will sip some fresh citrus juice, or prune and apple juice, tomato juice or fig juice I vet dressed for breakfast on cool days. On pleasant days bathing trunks are all that are required here in the semi-tropics where I live. My breakfast varies with the season, Cool days T may have a bow] of raw old-fashioned oatmeal, as is, direct from the box, uncooked (NOT made into a porridge). T add some wheat germ, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, a few raw almonds, some raisins, a sliced banana. raw unheated honey, and water. Sometimes [may use non-fat powdered ilk, mixed with water, and chew all this. Usually Lhave a cup of tea with a little honey added, Sometimes I enjoy a soft-boiled egg yolk. or poached T discard the white because it's mucus form- ege (vol ing, But throughout the year, as available, 1 use berries of 20various kinds and sliced fresh fruits—peaches. mangoes, pears, cantaloupe, apples, plums, honeydew melon, straw- berries. Tn addition T use considerable amounts of pitted dates and imsulphured black mission figs... wonderful energy foods. Breakfast is a leisurely, cagerly-looked-forward-to event in our home, Over the years, [ve received a number of let- ters from our friend, John Grimek (MR. UNIVERSE), and an Olympic Champion, telling me how much he enjoved and appreciated our leisurely bveaklasts. This is so different than in most homes, where there is a mad seramble to “grab a bite” and join in the rat-race of traffic to business. My office has been at our home for thirty-four years, eliminating the traffic problem. Alter breakfast 1 drive to the post office, pick up my mail, return home and answer these letters. Over the years Thave written answers to over a million letters that T have received in response to my magazine articles. These personal letters from me help folks solve their indi- vidual problems. On the floor, by my desk, T have a barbell, some dumbbells, and some steel cables (chest) expanders ). Every so often TI stop letter-writing and stand up and stretch a few times, and then do a few exercises with this equipment. [t's not really healthy to sit for too long, so I get up and move around, circulate the blood and avoid vetting ossified. Mrs. Tilney and I have a simple lunch. Then, during the afternoons, | like to benefit by sunbaths or working in the garden, Some time ago £ counted no less than 36 different varieties of plants we have—including seven coconnt palms, mango and avocado trees. papaya, loquat, poinciana trees, and a rare sausage tree, orchid tree, and various shrubs, Years ago T built an outdoor grill, and men like Charles Atlas and many Champions have helped me cook and prepare outdoor meals under the stars and the big Miami moon. Such pleasant events with congenialfriends add spice and zest to daily living, lifting it from the rut of routine. Frequently, in the middle of the afternoon, T like to make my supply of wonder-working fresh-squeezed raw vegetable juices. I often jokingly say to my wife that while so many other people are “alcoholics,” I would probably be called a “juici-olic.” These miracle-working fresh-squeezed raw juices feed my nerves, glands, and heart, and help keep me supple, agile, Hexible, free from stiffness. Often during the afternoon, I take a brief cat nap. This, with the juices, makes me fecl so “charged up” that, before dinner, I love to toss up barbells, pull some cables, perform a series of “standing dips” between an open door- way. This makes me feel really good, At a time of day when so many folks feel so tired and all in, 1 feel exhila- rated, (The thought of vigorous exercise to some people is repulsive, for the simple fact that they lack the dynamic VITALITY to exert themselves. I find that the more exer- eise | do—within sensible reason, of course, the better I feel, the more energy I possess, and the more vitality T acquire, Athletes know this—that is why they have a pre- liminary “warm-up” session, as they call it, before really plunging into un intensive training program. ) Activity means LIFE, stagnation means death; and 1 can't afford to neglect this enjoyable. exhilarating. con- centrated 2 or 3 minutes, Like most people, | do not have the time, or the facilities. or the equipment to participate in various sports, athletics, gymmasties, games and acro- baties. So these few minutes of “concentrated” exercise achieve amazing benefits. My suppers are simple. Usually a raw assorted salad— some steam-cooked greens, which vary each night—and a protein dish. Then some raw fresh fruit, and at times a cup of tea with honey. If I have bread, it is usually Jewish rye or pumpernickel, sliced wafer thin, buttered. In addition, 1 always chew and eat the seeds of apples. 22These seeds contain the LIFE FORCE, to help put and keep the LIFE FORCE in me. That's why | also eat lots of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raw unsalted nuts (usually almonds because they are an excellent nerve- building food), and raw unheated honey, made from nee- tar—the life force of the flowers, Obviously, there are var- ious seeds and pits which are not practical to eat. such as orange pits, date pits, peach pits and so on. My after-supper activities vary, I may watch a televi- sion program which appeals to me, although few do, T have written most of my three thousand magazine articles during the evening hours, Many times [ have typed far into the carly hours of the morning, when my brain seemed somehow extra clear, and ideas “came through” almost by themselves. In addition, T have paper and peneil by my bed at all times, so 1 ean immediately jot down ideas that may come during the night-time hours. Many evenings | study. Sometimes | simply like to quietly sit in my relaxing executive chair, and (as Chan- ning Haddock expressed it) “go aloft for vision”— planning and preparing for a Brighter, Better Tomorrow. Frequently Tam called upon to give talks, lectures or Class Lessons, and these are usually given in the evenings. Although cach vear millions of tourists visit south Flor- ida to enjoy the facilities this area offers—horse racing. dog racing. night club life—these activities never had any appeal to me, and I do not attend them. And—of course—three or four nights cach week, before going to bed. T like to participate in still more concen- trated exercise, using the various pieces of training equip- ment T have conveniently at hand in my office. The doors are wide open, leading to a sereened porch, and it’s vir- tually the same as exercising outdoors, with the fresh clean air coming in from the ocean not far aw: Afterwards, when practical, I like to go for long walks along the ocean-edge on the leach, and enjoy bathing in the sea. 23On going to bed, as [ am not tired, I do some more sit-ups and thigh-raising, then relax for a few minutes . . . then, while lying down, devote an hour or so to studying, turn out the light. send some positive thoughts to myself of things I desire to see materialized, and go to sleep. Because our grandchildren love to eat my famous Nut Loaf, I usually personally make it on Sundays, and some- times they like to give me a hand and help in its prepara- tion. Tt's fascinating to watch their expressions of eager anticipation when this delicious Sunday dinner is served. (You'll find the recipe given in Chapter 7). We serve it with baked Idaho potatoes (baking in the oven alongside the Nut Loaf) and with string heans, or peas or broccoli; and have some raw fresh fruit, such as an apple, for des- sert. Tt's a wonderful meal our family never tires of and always enjoys. T love to drive, so Mrs, Tilney and I do considerable driving cach year. These travel trips take us around Flor- ida, sometimes to other states, and to Canada, They are always stimulating, and a constant opportnnity to meet long-time friends, Many years ago, a speaker left me with this thought: “Don't take on other people's troubles.” It is an excellent suggestion, and it has helped me avoid worrying over con- ditions T cannot control. Far too many persons bring on needless trouble, make mountains ont of molehills, fret and stew and work themselves into a nervous frazzle over petty inconsequentials. T can’t afford to waste vitality in this stupid way: and I make it a point to strive toward a life that is pleasant. congenial, and free of friction. Another thought, given to me a long time ago. 1 have found well worth observing: “Never stanc when you can sit, and never sit when you can lie down.” So whenever practical, T like to take a few moments off, and lic down and flop on my back, and completely relax. Tt feels won- derful. Then I get up and stretch myself back into full action again! 24And, of course, T have certain goals toward which I am working and planning. Because my future advancement depends upon what 1 do TODAY and EACH DAY, I have a little sign in my office: “DO TT NOW! My objectives thus arouse the necessary AMBITION and POSITIVE THOUGHTS that PROPEL ME to REALIZE these achievements! I regularly keep this thought in mind: Let no day go by without having DONE SOMETHING for personal advancement. This way. no day is wasted, but becomes useful and interesting tom and beneficial to all who have come within my sphere of service. During past years T have also been willing to prove on myself the actual effects of certain types of dissipation . .. then test my ideas for an effective recovery. So | have deliberately eaten the products I call “mucus-forming foods,” which bring on “colds,” coughs, catarvh, asthma, sinus trouble, partial deafness, stiffness, and other distress. T wanted to personally experience how much one could suffer with such athictions. and how quickly they could be erercome. By then avoiding those foodless foods, follow- ing my © leansing, Feast Plan, and sipping the raw fresh vegetable j juices. T found I could completely eliminate all the pains and stiffness! T discovered that some of these conditions could be overcome in a matter of a few hours. Thus, the methods [ve outlined in this volume worked effectively and quickly on me. (Ifowever, I've never caused myself any digestive dis- turbances. and never tried giving invself uleers or other types of stomach trouble. } 25Chapter 1 YOU AND DOUBT MUST SAY “GOODBYE” Bill Shakespeare wrote many things, but there are two sentences in particular he made his characters say which may have a profound influence on your life, and help you. Here they are: “Ow DOUBTS are TRAITORS and make us lose the COOD we ‘oft might WIN,” and “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in OURSELVES, if we are UNDERLINGS.” Are YOU one of those “split personalities”: you wish you could be a full-fledged follower of Teachings like these—bnt you are afraid because you are under the impression your family or your friends and other acquain- tances have not openly accepted these ideas yet? And so you meckly continue with the crowd rather than boldly assert yourself and ascend the PLANE OF PROGRESS, eagerly sharing the rich full benefits whieh the daily pra tice of these Teachings can bring? Will you allow yourself to be dominated by foolish tra- dition and silly sentiment? Do you lack the spirit of unflinching investigation? Have you an OPEN or CLOSED mind? There are many men and women who would like to embrace these ideas of mine regarding youthful living or more abundant living, but somehow they lack the steel and sinew to definitely cross the borderline and join whole-heartedly with my thousands of other followers. ‘They seem to have a soul-stunting narrowness of mental 27You and Doubt Must Say “Goodbye” 28 vision. They lack the rugged, virile and aggressive convie- tion, the moral stamina to become an out and out follower of the time-tested Tilney Teachings given vou in this book. They are dominated by DOUBT and by FEAR which they seem unable to crush, conquer or overcome. That's why many of my former friends are long since dead. They wouldn't listen to me. They could be alive and well TODAY, if they had said “GOODBYE” to DOUBT! ! One of the fundamental causes of failure of humanity is lack of BOLD SELF ASSERTION. When you possess this Jewel of Power there is virtually no limit to the € sood Things of Life that you can claim. WHY remain among the millions who are kled to a life of routine, sickness, half-health, depriv: g vourself of the joy, deep satisfaction, happiness and splendidly wholesome good times my Plan offers if only your life was not governed by DOUBT and PEAR! WILY remain an “underling” and needlessly deprive yourself of some of life’s richest blessings and joys? Ibsen says, through one of his characters: “What sort of truths are they that the majority usually supports? They are truths that are of such an advanced age they are beginning to break up. They are the origin of the moral scurvy that is rampant in our communities. TIE MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY TO TRUTH AND FREEDOM AMONG US is the COMPACT MAJORITY. The majority has might on its side unfortunately, but RIGHT it has never,” This means you must DARE TO STAND ALONE, get away from the common crow rd, away from mass-thinking, although the “mass” never THINKS. They are too dumb to delve into the treasure-vaults of the mind. WHY remain a meek follower of the crowds? They are always in bondage. RELEASE YOURSELF from the submerged millions and boldly, bravely, ASSERT YOURELF. Banish theYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 29 doubt and resolve to become a whole-hearted follower of the entire Program outlined in this instructive book. Just think—if the Teaching outlined here accomplished only one thing—freeing you from sickness—what a marvel- ous achievement that alone would be. But there are scores of other beneficial ways this book will serve you, because thonsands of my other followers have proved definitely and indisputably they have been helped tremendously— either physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, morally or spiritually. T have overwhelming and convincing evi- dence that these Teachings are worth follow ing—magnifi- cent resulis achieved by muscular masterpieces, typical of the superior Majestic Manhood and Womanhood these Teachings produce. Millions would like to enjoy the results of all | promise, but they are afraid, they DOUBT. They are afraid of what others might think or say if they saw them practic- ing some of the things T advocate, Such people are mental weaklings ... but YOU are not going to he mentally weak ++ are you?

The world is filled with cowards whe dare not THINK FOR THE LVES and ASSERT themselves. Convention, ridicule and “what will people think” ghosts which take the starch ont of the majority. “DARF what no other man will dare.

This applies in every field of endeavor. Dare to cut loose. Until you become AGGRESSIVE you will never move forward, Start to THINK about this VITALIZED YOUTILFUL LIVING PROGRAM in all its many phases. Don't be afraid of it. Lt ean’t harm you. Investigate it thoroughly. Find out completely exactls what it is all about. Sell YOURSELF fully on it. You DOUBT because you have not studied sufficiently to fully convince yourself of the merits of my Program. So much of this is all NEW TO YOU. But dare to TILINK for yourself. Don’t Iet vourself be influenced by the “mass-mind” because it is this “mass-mind” which has always kept the world from try improve. It is the “evil-florce” we must continually guard against. Every day the newspapers and television detail the tragic accounts of crime, trouble, sickness, misery, unhap- piness, and various other phases of needless suffering, And in so many homes there is much disharmony and aggrava- tion never recorded in the Newspapcrs. How is all this trouble CAUSED? People don't know HOW TO LIVE. They know noth- ing about the Divine Plan of living. So many of them are not ready for these advanced Teachings , . , it's beyond them. But now that you have come this far, don’t let your doubts be any longer traitor to the good you can derive from the study of this manual, It’s time for you and “doubt” to say “GOODBYE.” You were intended to express joy and Success, not gloom or trouble. You were born for Happiness, not for misery; for Peace and Serenity, not for perpetual anxiety and distress, We were intended to he worthy companions of the Creator.

Never mind opposition, criticism; never mind if others call you a crank and a fool. They called me the same. They called the Master the same. YOU, too, must pull away from the mass crowd; step out of the darkness into beauty and brightness. DECIDE Now to make this your Independence Day, and be through with “doubting.” Follow this entire Pro- gram with an open, unbiased mind. You can actually experience VITALIZED YOUTH- "ULNESS all duriug a long life. You can remain TIRE- LESS, PAINLESS AND AGEIESS. You can possess a trim and reasonably attractive figure with a supple and agile body. You can be free of weakness and disease, and CONTROL your own Well-Being and Fitness! All the advantages you've always dreamed of—a happy love life can he yours—with each day a joyous Adventure. Does all this sound tee goad to be true? That has been the trouble with so many people, They don't BELIEVE these nice things of life are possible for THEM. And the MIND being a MAGNET, they ATTRACT the NEGATIVE conditions of life.

When you tell others they are apt to sncer and dis- courage you. Negative people take a delight in pulling others down to their level. So tell them NOTHING .. . now. Keep these Teachings SECRET because vou lose PERSONAL MAGNETISM when you do not. AFTER you have demonstrated the successful results from the application of this Tustruction a few weeks or months from now—then you can Trev eal where you learned about these nnique methods.You and Doubt Must Say “Goodbye” 32 Do not Joan or give away these Confidential Disclo- sures. They are for YOU ONLY to re-study frequently, because vou cannot master them trom a single reading, You have to “drill” them into your subconscious mind, so that in due time, their application becomes automatic and vou follow them as a DAILY WAY OF LIFE. We all have 24 hours each day, and it is what you DO, what you THINK during each of these 24 hours that DETERMINES your health, your fitness, your youthful- ness, and vour condition of happiness in life. From TODAY ON, I am inviting you to manifest the following 17 Principles in YOUR daily life, because they are essential for your health and happiness. lL Havea DEFINITE GOAL in Life. 2. BELIEVE and KNOW that you'll ACHIEVE it. 3. THINK sticcess—daily VISUALIZE what you truly DESIRE. 4. GRASP a real Opportunity when it is presented. 5. ACT AT ONCE. STOP wishing and waiting. BE DECISIVE! 6, Generate intense ENTHUSTASM instead of apathy or cold indifference. 7. Be OPEN to econviction—and WILLING to learn NEW things. 8. REFUSE to keep a “CLOSED” mind regarding your personal advancement. 9, JOYOUSLY cooperate. and CHEERFULLY DO what is all for your own GOOD, 10, Be FRIENDLY and HELPFUL. to others. 11. Become an AROUSED SOUL-LIFT your Vision! 12. Follow a PROVEN successful money-making Plan from now on. 13, Avoid NEGATIVE thinking, and all NEGATIVE talkers and thinkers. 14. Start TODAY and EACH DAY beng GOOD to YOURSELF,YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 33 15. 16. 17. Cheerfully accept help from others eager to truly help you. THINK Youthful Vitality, Peace of Mind, Joy and Courage and Confidence, FOLLOW a DAILY Program: to build up your Fitness and Well-Being. People tolerate all kinds of trouble—and all necdlessly. Why do they do it? It is because they have failed to banish one or more of these 20 negative factors from their lives, robbing them of POWER, PERFORMANCE, and a LONG, SATISFYING, PRODUCTIVE LIFE. 1. 9. 10.

Start NOW to rout these cnemics to your success— begin TODAY! Check carefully to sce which of the above negative fac- tors have been holding you back. Be honest with yourself to whip your weaknesses. [ere is what you must do:You and Doubt Must Say “Goodbye” 34 1E lo 6. FOCUS YOUR THINKING on the SPECIFIC GOAL that you desire. Then APPLY YOURSELF to attain it with a PASSIONATE INTENSITY and unswerving singleness of purpose, WORK OUT A PROGRAM NECESSARY TO REACH YOUR GOAL, and have a DEFINITE TIME, within reason, for its attainment. Plan your progress every day, every week. ORGANIZE your efforts to DO SOMETHING each day to bring you nearer your Goal, LET NO DAY GO BY WITH- OUT HAVING DONE SOMETHING, because it won't come hy wishing or waiting, YOU must ACT faithfully ... regularly... zealously. CULTIVATE A RED-HOT BURNING DESIRE for what it is you SINCERELY want made mani- fest in your life and affairs, INTENSIFY TIS DESIRE DAILY because this is the best motiva- tor, FEEL and KNOW you WILL achieve what you desire. ASSUME IMPLICIT CONFIDENCE IN YOUR SELF AND YOUR ABILITIES. Do not recognize defeat. Concentrate on your ABILITIES, TAL- ENTS and POWERS, not on any weakness. RELEASE the GIANT within you. IN A DETERMINED, POSITIVE WAY— FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR PLAN— regardless of criticism, obstacles or circumstances. KNOW exactly what you want... and GO AFTER IT. WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST .. . RIGIIT NOW? That's up to you to clearly decide. Is it Health... a return of Youth? Freedom from some pain or aggravation? Increased happiness in your Love Life? Greater personal attractiveness? A better figure or physique? More serene poise? More self confidence? More Success? WHAT- EVER it is, write it down, and bring it into sharpYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 35 focus, so you know specifically. And the same prin- ciple applies if you crave a new car, new home, new furniture or opportunity to travel, You probably desire ALL these rich blessings. But for the present CONCENTRATE ON GETTING ONE THING AT A TIME. Scattered thoughts are wasted thoughts, Get anew “GRIP” on voursell. Have a PLAN... and WORK that Plan. Talk less and THINK MORE As I have urged, LET GO of all fears, worries, doubts, hatreds, jealousies, despondency, anger, and such nega- tive thoughts, Because, as you cling to them, they grad- ually develop poisons and acid in your blood stream; keep you handicapped, weak, deyitalized—and you want to be POWER-CHARGED, POSITIVE, SERENE, CONFI- DENT, MAGNETIC! So quit fretting about the PAST. That's GONE and nothing you can do about it NOW, Let it GO in your mind, and concentrate on a BRIGHT, SAT- ISFYING FUTURE. O.K.? Among the FIRST essentials—is to ACHIEVE MAS- TERY OVER YOURSELF, CONTROLLING the way you LOOK and FEEL. As long as vou continue to LOOK down in the dumps, and FEEL miserable and tired and ambitionless, with no PEP or DRIVING ENERGY you obviously cannot be expected to accomplish much, So let us first consider your FITNESS and WELL- BEING and what is neces to ensure them. Get the CONSCIOUSNESS of VITALIZED YOUTH- FULN as a DATLY WAY OF LIFE, Get rid of the false notion that you have to gradually become OLD. “OLD AGE” is simply physical neglect—the evidence of acenmulated poisons in your system, resulting largely from eating the wrong types of foods, prepared the wrong way, and a food mineral deficiency, plus a lack of appropriate exercise, tensions, worries, and failure to observe the simple laws of health. We are like batteries—they ran down, and so do we,You and Doubt Must Say “Goodbye” 36. and need to be regularly RE-CHARGED. So go over all this fascinating instruction by frequently re-reading it where you can be alone, relaxed and completely undis- turbed. It takes time, patience, effort. A farmer doesn’t expect to pluck the fruit immediately after he has planted the seed. When you fail to observe Health Laws, you suffer. The way you live TODAY determines your condition TOMORROW. By living correctly all TODAY .. . and each day, all your tomorrows will benefit. Just as a beautiful necklace is made up of individual pearls, so your life is made up of individual days, and by stringing all these healthy, happy days together, you will experience a long, healthy and happy life. The trick is to KNOW what to do each 24 hours... and DOTT. So I'm going to give yon an easy program—an ORGAN- IZED Program of daily right living. And each day—as you reap what you sow—will bring you thrilling benefits cach following day, This program works. Which is all you care. If you are round-shouldered, flat-chested, having a pro- truding abdomen; are frail, weak or flabby; overweight or skinny, sickly or diseased—do you think THAT is what the Creator intended for you to be? Most people never TILINK about this, never give their bodies any serious consideration. Tf they did, we would have a world of splendid specimens—a world of healthy. happy, disease— and weakness-free individuals. Why not claiin your Divine inheritance—and assert your kinship with your Maker—starting right now making yourself the finest kind of human possible for you! The Almighty Creator, Yahweh, is the Divine Architect, but WE are daily builders of our own bodies. Understand, you are glorifying the Creator when you make your bodyYOUNG AY 73—AND BEYOND! 37 a worthy “LIVING TEMPLE” for the Almighty to dwell in you, In the New Testament, 1 Corinthians 3, verses 16 and 17, it says: “. "YE are the Temple of God (Yahweh), and that the spirit of God (Yahweh) dwelleth in you. Tf any man defile the Temple of God (Yahweh), him. shall God (Yahweh) destroy, for the Temple of God (Yahweh) is HOLY, which Temple YE ARE.” We should treat these “Body Temples” as something SACRED, which is Holy, and consider it among our ureatest duties to our Maker to keep these Temples WORTHY for the Almighty to dwell in. Would you expect a KING to dwell in some miserable, broken-down old shack, that was rotting, decaying, about veady to fall apart, crumbling because of neglect? Why expect the KING of kings to dwell in a body which is less than perfection? The Creator doesn’t want to dwell in a body that is weak, diseased or an apology of a “temple.” WHOLENESS is really another name for Holiness. Being made in the image of your Creator, you must par- take of His perfection. You must always hold the thought that your Father meant you to be a WHOLE man or woman: as perfect physically as possible. He did not mean you to be a weak, puny, sloppy, diseased or prematurely old individual. You see, when you take proper care of your body you are in perfect harmony with the Great Spirit of the Uni- verse, and the Source of all Health and all Good; disease will be unable to get a foothold, cannot generate in you. It is only when you neglect yourself, or abuse the physi- cal part of yourself, or when you are “out of tune” with the Infinite, out of harmony with the Divine Principle. that all sorts of discord are likely to develop. After all, WHY de-magnetize yourself from the Source of Power by being so indifferent as to continue to neglectYou and Doubt Must Say “Goodbye” 38 your body . .. when you have to live with it all the time? Giving it some intelligent daily care and attention brings the most delightful feeling of Well Being. of Youthful Buoyaney and an ELECTRIC Aliveness that’s exhilarat- ing. While continued neglect only brings pain, dullness, a fecling of inferiority, frustration, suffering and an untimely end. WHICH do YOU choose? It’s cutirely up to YOU. GLORIFY the Creator in your body—by starting today to make it Better, Finer, More Efficient, Healthier, More Attractive and Beautiful—a fit dwelling place for the Most High. Why not get this NEW KIND of reverent appreciation for this “Temple not made with hands’—and STOP injur- ing it. Start NOW visualizing yourself as you long to be, and back up this right mental attitude with intelligent physical action, Learn all you can about the marvelous wonders of your body and equip yourself with all the necessary tools— apparatus and various appliances to help speed up the job and conserve your time as well as energy. In striving to improve that body of yours you are start- ing on the Grandest of all Adventures. Because then you radiate an influence whieh is ennobling, soul-enriching, inspiring and uplifting to all who meet vou. Task: what in all creation is more beautiful than superbly developed women—with trim, clean-cut figures; with full, firm breasts; sun-bronzed skins; graceful bodies: faces radiant and smiling; dispositions charming, sincere, winsome and sweet? And imen—splendidly mus- cled. broad-shouldered, deep-chested; well-poised, lithe, vigorous, virile and healthy? Both men and women glo- riously free; both conscious and proud of their manly and womanly beauty without being arrogant, haughty or égo- tistical? Why, their very MAGNETISM does something won-YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 39 derful to you and their thrilling presence acts as a spiri- tual uplift! Cultivate a deeper appreciation of the wonderful use- fulness of your body. Think of it as a priceless mechanism in and through which you yourself may achieve the very best things in life. Realize that by your sincere efforts to acquire a more shapely body you are actually accomplishing much more than that. You are building into that body of yours an increase in strength, youth, magnetism, vigor, general tone, energy, wholeness, elasticity, refinement of bodily tissue, keener nerve sense, sprightliness, buoyancy, physical delight, personal attraction, nobility of physical consciousness, nee and dignity of your body's structure. Now that vou have put yourself under NEW MAN- AGEMENT—under my direction—trade in that old body of yours, and decide to get acquainted with the NEW YOU. Tonight, before going to bed, when you are completely undressed, take a long, critical look at your reflection in a full-length mirror... frontwards and sideways Compare it with the photos you see in this book. It’s a good idea also to have a photo made of yourself, in your bathing suit (bathing trunks for mew), and take pictures of a front and side view. On the back of the photos mark the date and give your present measnre- ments, of chest, abdomen, arms and thighs—at least. Then hide these photos. About six months or so later, have some new photos taken of yourself in the same poses, and mark on the back the date and your new measurements, Compare them with the photos you hid, when you started. THEN is when you will be really glad you decided to say “GOOD- BYE” to doubt, and decided to DO SOMETHING about your Well-Being, Make an extra copy of each, and send them to me, Tam keenly interested in the progress youYou and Doubt Must Say “Goodbye” 40 make. Such photos can be convincing evidence of the improvement possible from the sincere application of the Tilney Teachings. Regard it as fun, an exciting hobby, and a real CHALLENGE. So many of my followers are happy to do this, and quite a number send me photos of what they all call their “DR.

Tam merely a TEACHER of UNIVERSAL LAWS, and because the many benefits are so great, I am happy to reveal them in this compact book, rather than in a long- drawn-out Course. Here is a statement, written by a Master Mind of what Nature or the Universal Intelligence has in store for those who neglect or remain indifferent to the Principles as out- lined in this work: “Here vou folks who are no use to me. get out of this world.

CHOOSE YR.”Chapter 2 SECRETS OF MANAGING YOURSELF FOR SUCCESS You never have to be afraid or undecided about learn- ing all you can about the SCIENCE OF NATURAL LIVING, revealing various Divine Laws which bring about the most amazing benefits of YOUTHFUL VITAL- ITY, GLOWING HEALTH, A POWER-CHARGED, DYNAMIC PERSONALITY and the IMPROVEMENT OF YOUR WELL-BEING for more harmonious, enjoy- able living. Surely this is of vital importance to you, because as Arnold Bennett says: “Lhe manner in which one single ray of light, one single precious hint, will clarify and ener- give the whole mental life of him who 1 it is among the most wonderful and heavenly of intellectual phenom- ena, The greatest of all opportunities is wherever there is some REAL KNOWLEDGE you can gain to benefit you now and in the future. This book gives you such knowl- cdge, It is not written to amuse or entertain: but to instruct, to inform, to teach, to encourage, to inspire, to show how—by living in harmony with the Universal Laws you can help yourself live the MORE ABUNDANT LIFE, and how vou can ADD MORE YEARS TO YOUR LIFE, and MORE LIFE TO THOSE YEARS. Carnegie offered ten million dollars if anyone could show him how to add ten years to his life. I'm showing YOU how, for the mere cost of this hook, which is not even ten dollars! But it won't do you a bit of good unless YOU EXERT YOUR- SELF AND FAITILFULLY, PERSISTENTLY FOLLOW IT. Ave you prepared to DO just that? 43Secrets of Managing Yourself For Success 44 With some people there will be “thirty-six” different reasons why they will delude themselves into thinking it is “impossible” to accept these teachings and follow them. For such... there is no help. Without a knowledge of these Divine Taws you would keep on blundering, suffering, inflicting pain and trouble on yourself. For PROOF of this: with all the various churches and respective creeds and doctrines, with all their prayers and promises over the past two thousand years—still they do not help very much. Because MIL- LIONS of their followers are sick, diseased, troubled, unhappy. unsatisfied, die untimely deaths, have marriage problems—and are still hoping to find the Path that leads to Perfection . .. or at least the Goals l’m showing here, that can be obtained. The knowledge I'm giving here, enables us to DISCI- PLINE OURSELVES, Every week, practically, we see new laws enforced but still we have MORE crime and moral difficulties. That's true, isn’t it? Until we learn to TEACH OURSELVES and our chil- dren Yahweh's DIVINE LAWS on all planes—which are all simple and casy to follow—and until we learn to DIS- CIPLINE OURSELVES TO FOLLOW THEM—we shall continue to suffer and pay the penalty—now and in the future. As wise Aristotle says: “IF CITIZENS ARE INTELLIGENT AND DIS- CIPLINED FROM WITHIN, THEY DON’T NEED ANY LAWS... BUT IF THEY ARE IMMORAL AND SELFISIE. I DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY LAWS THEY HAVE, FOR THEY WILL NOT OBEY THEM.” The law-makers, with their legal twist of mind, think of suppression, getting stiffer laws passed .. . instead of EDUCATING humanity and supplying folks with the REAL KNOWLEDCE OF DIVINE LAWS, UNIVER-YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 45 SAL LAWS, THIS SCIENCE OF NATURAL LIVING and urging them to FOLLOW these beneficial Laws. There would be no need for courts. prisons, lawyers, judges, doctors, asylums, mental institutions. No need for costly armies and navies and air forces with the unbeara- ble tax burden these are to society, No aced for police- men, private detectives spying on others, no need for bur- glar alarms and the resulting costly insurance such so-called “protection” costs . . . because people would DO what was RIGHT AND GOOD, They would DO the things that bring them REAT. happiness, lasting health, building youthful, attractive bodies, and those presently engaged in all these “nuisance” type negative jobs could be re-employed in useful and constructive activitics to make the world more b iful and satisfactory. If we learned to follow these Laws, everybody would be able to enjoy a reasonable measure of abundance, longer life, and freedom from all the needless distress afflicting millions right now. ISN'T THIS THE VITAL TYPE OF EDUCATION THAT IS REALLY NEEDED? Now that you have been informed of what to do. . . start with YOURSE and make YOUR OWN HEAVEN here and now, as far as possible. Decide to joyously CO-OPERATE | . . it’s all for your own good. How can you afford to further deny yourself all these marvelous and worthwhile benefits? THIS IS THE NEW KNOWLEDCE YOU NEED. Take the matter of health, for example. Think of all the CLLURCH-members who are suffering with cancers, heart trouble, kidney and liver trouble, sick- ening headaches, asthma, bronchitis, diabetes, gall blad- der trouble, nervousness, over-weight . . . and scores of other ailments and weaknesses. ALL these are contrary to the DIVINE PLAN FOR you, and all entirely ummecessary, and what's more, theySecrets of Managing Yourself For Success 46 are a disgrace. It’s a crime to be sick. They indicate you hayen’t got enough intelligence to STAY HEALTHY. With all the advanced education you may have... what good is it, if you are unable to enjoy the blessings of VITAL FITNESS, YOUTHFUL VITALITY and GOOD HEALTH? By FOLLOWING this Program you automatically build a state of SUPERB FITNESS and Well-Being, Vibrant Supple Youth and Dynamic Energy, THIS is WISDOM .. . and UNDERSTANDING .. . INTELLIGENCE. Health and harmony are the DIVINE WAY. Sickness and suffering and untimely deaths and tolerat- ing needless trouble are the results of stupidity, ignorance and indifference to Divine Laws, So isn’t it plain common sense to live as the Creator directs, and follow DAILY Divine Laws on all planes, physically, mentally, socially, spiritually, emotionally? YOU bring on your suffering, pain, distress, sickness, and evidence of premature old age by your daily wrong living habits, particularly your wrong eating, You are being grossly unfair to YALLWEH, THE CREATOR—and yourself, praying for recovery WHILE YOU CONTINUE YOUR WRONG EATING AND LIVING HABITS. When you spend money for groceries—STOP AND THINK whether the foods you buy will build health, vibrancy, vouthful vigor and pep, steady nerves, a brilliant brain, virile power, and a happy disposition. Tf they can’t, then stop wasting money on the stuff, and stop polluting your Body Temple by eating such useless corruption. Don't leave YOUR health to someone else. CONTROL IT yourself by EARNING IT. It's the REWARD of RICHT LIVING, All our thousands of Body-Builders RELY ON THEM- SELVES, no one else, TO CONTROL THEIR FITNESS AND WELL-BEING AND SOUND HEALTH, plus attractive bodies,YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 47 They EARN what they have acquired by PERSON- ALLY ERTING THEMSELVES. THAT's what YOU have to do. This is what it means, by the expression; “HEAVEN HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES,” and as a result they are divinely blessed. Taking drugs and such products is NOT BUILDING HEALTH. They may suppress symptoms for a while, MASKING THE TROUBLE, but it’s NOT building health. You and aillions of others have ALREADY tried the drugs and pills and powders . . . and MILLIONS ARE STILL SICK. Lf the stuff was really so effective, there would be no sickness today. THINK THAT OVER. OUR methods ARE REALLY EFFECTIVE and our thousands of followers ENJOY GOOD HEALTH and complete free- dom from all sickness, weakness and disease. PROOF the Plan WORKS, and you can prove it, too, So as to be definite and specific, and not leave you in any doubt, 'm giving you a Chart telling exactly what to do to help yourself on this Pathway to Progress: CONTROL the DAILY use of your time to make it interesting, happy, harmonious, healthy and legitimately profitable. Strive DAILY to develop yourself to your utmost best—mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally. Cultivate DAILY the spirit of personal improvement instead of allowing yourself to become an indifferent drif- ter, Assume DAILY a positive, constructive attitude of mind and eliminate negative, destructive and unkind thoughts. Try to avoid being dominated by fear of things, people and events.

Keep your mind free from obstinacy, superstitions, old and foolish ideas not in accordance with Universal Laws, antiquated and inaccurate and unscientific beliefs. Make an effort to learn the unbiased TRUTH of things. Make an honest investigation of the REAL facts, Strive DATLY to become Vibrant, Sunny, Jolly. Mag- netically Alert, Watehful. Maintain the proper posture while sitting and standing. Head slightly UP, chest Out, abdomen IN, shoulders BACK without straining or unnatural rigidity. Practice conscious DEEP FULL breathing of PURE, CLEAN air, frequently, daily. Exercise the muscular parts of your body daily. espe- cially the chest and abdomen as they contain the vital organs that need to be toned and vitalized Get sufficient sleep cach 24 hours, and relax the body at convenient times to avoid strain, tension or monotony. Practice relaxing your shoulders and neck at various times cach day. Stretch all your body on arising and before retiring to help climinate fatigue poisons. Try this when you feel drowsy during afternoons, Give thoughtful attention to WHY you eat and WHAT you eat. Use some SELF CONTROL in the sclection of your foods and their harmonious combinations at meals. Get sufficient VARTETY of fresh fruits and fresh vegetables cach and every week. Realize it is WHAT YOU FAT that larg ely determines your state of health and disposition, therefore vou will eat sensibly of the simplest kinds of foods at all times andpeice RR GH sirname’ YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 49 avoid the fried, greasy, denatured, devitalized foodless foods... and beverages. Keep free from colds, coughs and catarrh, which I believe are NOT caused by germs but from eating an exeess of products made with WLILITE SUGAR, cow MILK, and the greasy foods, too much butter, ¢ cream, sundaes and sodas, syrup, egg whites, candie such mucus making foods... causing the mucus and phlegm, when sufficient accumulate, to be eliminated from the nose. How could a tiny “germ” no one has ever seen cause so much CONTINUOUS MUCUS DIS- CHARGE during a so-called “cold”? These conditions are simply an eliminative process to get the mucus OUT of your system, so don’t suppress it. The corruption HAS to come OUT. Keep free from constipation without resort to drug- laxatives, which are like emery -paper scratching the insides of the intestinal tract, and do not CORRECT the CAUSE of bowel sluggishness, which is from TOO MUCH REFINED STARCHES and other useless foods, plus a lack of sufficient abdominal exercises to tone, firm and activate the peristaltic action (onward and down- ward motion) of the bowel contents. Use an enema or internal bath now and again to flush out the entire 33 feet of the intestinal canal, and avoid encrusted feces sticking to the inner walls of the intes- tines, where the poisons are gradually absorbed through the lining and then poisoning the entire blood stream. Constipation is called the “mother” of disease... because of this, OBEY promptly the calls of nature whenever practical and avoid “putting it off’. KEEP CLEAN INTERNALLY and help avoid piles and hemorrhoids. Avoid drugs, medicines, pills, serums. They suppress symptoms, numb the nerves and by continuous use grad- ually paralyze the nerves. THEIR USE DOES NOT CORRECT YOUR PAST WRONG LIVING HABITS WHICH CAUSED THE TROUBLE you are taking suchSecrets of Managing Yourself For Success 50 drugs for. Besides, most drugs have injurious side-effects. In addition they do NOT nourish your billions of body cells, and can never bring a state of glowing health, Live RIGHT, as here instructed, and you never need drugs, or even so much as an aspirin tablet! Understand, HEALTH, YOUTH, VITALITY come from observing Divine Laws (which has nothing to do with churehianity or any brand of religion). Divine Laws are Universal Laws, Nature's Laws... and sickness, pre- mature old age, weakness, pain, tiredness and untimely deaths all come from either IGNORANCE of or INDIFFERENCE to the application of these Laws, and they are revealed here. When not feeling up to par, make a PROMPT “check up” to immediately determine where you have slipped and lose no time in changing your habits and mental atti- tude to help yourself restore normaley.

Girdles and corsets do not “reduce”: they merely squeeze in the fat and flab which bulges out at the top or bottom, and their use makes you tired, weary and exhausted when con- fined in them all day. Let yourself feel free instead of all trussed-up, Get rid of the fat and eat less and REMOVE THE CAUSE. (Why do millions of people do the things all the WRONG ways!!) You are not hiding anything by wearing a corset, or tight girdle, for its use is evident. And what husband wants to cuddle a corset? He prefers the feel of firm, trim, healthy flesh... so decide to get into shape, and dispense with these items. Keep your face as attractive as possible, and AVOID FROWNING AND TENSING THE FOREHEAD and prevent those ugly, hideous wrinkles. Let your face express a pleasing appearance of friendli- ness, kindliness, joy. confidence, dignity, instead of the darker moods of worry, anxiety, anger or inferiority. Give attention to the cure and preservation of your hair, eyes, tecth and hands... they are worthy of the best kind of consideration.

Try to make the other person with whom you are talk- ing feel important. Everyone is seeking the THREE A’S: ATTENTION, APPRECIATION, AFFECTION.

Cultivate worthwhile social and business relationships.YOUNG AT 73-——AND BEYOND! 53 Avoid holding grudges even against those who have tried to wrong or injure you in any way. This is a highly competitive world. If others use or swipe your ideas instead of “cussing” them, regard it as a compliment. YOU lead—others follow. It’s done in many lines of busi- ness: dress designers, in the automobile field, in the publishing business, ete. If they copy more or less what you do, it indicates they like your ideas, Don’t stew over it and make yourself sick, or give yourself uleers fretting, it isn’t worth it, Use that energy thinking up new, fresh ideas.

They are my secrets for MANAGING YOURSELF FOR SUCCESS. AS YOU THINK—SO YOU ARE, You little realize what harm you are doing when you send secret messages of discouragement to yourself . . . when you give in to the “blues,” when you lose courage, faith, hope, confidence in yourself. It means panic, discrganization all through the cells of your body, This mental depression is felt in the remotest cell. It unnerves you, reducing the body to a state of weakness, inefficiency and sometimes to complete col- lapse or nervous breakdown, Which explains why many people actually faint from hearing bad news or at the sight of a frightful accident. The painful sensation is not all in the brain, the effects of the shock are felt in every cell of the body—they are all depressed. While GOOD EWS, expectation of BETTER THINGS, the renewal of Hope and Confidence and the upbuilding of your FAITH that GOOD THINGS are coming to you in the near future—these all act like a Tonic to refresh and revitalize your entire being. Acquire the sensible habit of daily telling yourself posi- tive, uplifting suggestions, and re-study this chapter, in conjunction with sipping the fresh-squeezed raw vegeta- ble juices (and avoidance of all devitalized foodless prod- ucts), You will find it will add VIM, FORCE and FIRE to your worthy efforts. The first step to failure is the first DOUBT of YOUR- SELF.YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 57 When you think you are a nobody and doubt you ever will be SOMEBODY you will soon be in the hands of your mental enemies. There is a line in a hymn, which says “For such a worm as 1.” We are not “worms,” but Sons and Daughters of the KING of Kings. All such self depreciation and feeling of inferiority is demoralizing. We were given DOMINION OVER ALL THE EARTH. Let's get that superior feeling without arrogance, haughtiness or self-conceit. There is a vast difference between EGO-ism and egotism. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. But be sure you are RIGHT. Then release the GIANT WITHIN YOU, with bold gracious aggressiveness. That is releasing the DIVINE POWER WITHIN YOU. There is a power within you which COMPELS SUCCESS, and this IS that Power. Here is a splendid daily exercise, which will prove help- ful to you (given by C.D. Larson, and I gladly pass it on to you). Say to yourself, daily: “TWILL become more than Tam. I WILL achieve MORE because I KNOW that I CAN, I WILL recognize ONLY that which is GOOD in myself, that which is GOOD in others. I WILL be MORE DETERMINED when adversity threatens than ever in my life, to prove that I CAN turn all things te good account. T WILL wish only for that which can give Freedom and Truth, which can add to the welfare of the race. I WILL always speak to give encouragement, inspira- tion and joy. 1 WILL work to be of service to an ever-increasing number; and my ruling desire shall be to enrich, ennoble and beautify existence for all who may come my way.” Far too many of our young people assume they can get away with dissipations: they think they have an ample store of vitality and can squander their forces at wild par- ties, night clubs, in foolish eating, in promiscuous sexualSecrets of Managing Yourself For Success 58 excitement . .. but invariably there comes a dav of reck- oning—a breakdown in health and mental powers in mid- dle-life—when they should be in their prime.

The eminent English physician, Dr. Abernethy, when he visited his wealthy patients, used to slip into the kitchen and shake hands with the cook, saying: “My good friend, T owe you much, for you confer great favors on me, Your skill, vour genius and your delightful art enable us medical men to ride in fine coaches. Without your exis- tance we would go on foot and starve. What he saicl then is just as true today, Countless num- bers of families include in their budget a minimum of $20.00 every month to help pay doctor bills and fees. It's aecepted as an essential part of their monthly living costs. While a vast number of the population pay out, in adddi- tion, for Blue Cross or some other form of Hospitalization or Insurance Plan because the daily rates in hospitals today are so high. They now quote the rates by the hour, and tell you it's “ONLY 81.60 an hour, But, when you mul- tiply this by twenty-four—that comes to $38.10 a day, and all medication and serviecs are EXTRA. Staying there only ten days, without counting the EXTRAS, comes to $384.00. Many hospitals charge much more. Usually they are so crowded that some patients even have their beds in the corridors and hallways. If you demand a PRIVATE room, that’s considerably extra. Doctors’ charges, medica- tion, and other serviecs are ALL ADDITIONAL. I say it’s far cheaper to invest in a book like this. Such an investment, made once, may help you avoid all the suf- fering requiring hospitalization . . . plus experience the 59How to Save Money on Your Food 60 delights of SUPERB PLIYSICAL FITNESS. Having your gall bladder removed, or a kidney taken out, stomach operated on, and all the other annoying operations couldn't be regarded as a pleasant chore, and having them “dressed” daily is a painful event most folks dread but endure. And EVERY HOUR over 4000 persons are being admitted to hospitals who are not “accident” cases. This totals 96,000 persons a day, and multiplying that by 365 days a year you hav total of almost 35 million people being rushed to hospitals... and T believe that most of this is brought on by eating the wrong choice of foods. But millions more are sick and suffering at home. You can only get in a hospital these days because a doctor has indicated that it's VITALLY URCENT. These facts are mentioned to indicate that people have a false idea of economy. Ask them to invest a few dollars on a book which would teach them how to STAY WELL, and they squawk. Suggest they invest in a wiser selection of food... get more fresh raw fruits, and they say they can’t afford them because they are luxuries, when actually such natural raw foods and juices are the most EFFEC- TIVE as well as the GHEAPEST MEDICINE. Yet they willingly pay out HUNDREDS of dollars for hospital care, HUNDREDS MORE for medication—and endure all the suffering in addition. Let me put it this way: People pay out over TWO BILLION DOLLARS on DOCTOR BILLS... annually. They pay out over TWO BILLION DOLLARS MORE on medication and drugs, each year. They pay still another TWO BILI.ION DOLLARS ANNUALLY buying synthetic vitamins. In addition, several MORE billion dollars for HOSPI- TAL care. So far, all my long life—and Pm in my seventies—I haven't spent one dime on any of these items.YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 62 AND YOU NEEDN'T EITHER, if you live as I do. And dentists, which I haven't mentioned until now, are among the highest paid professions. Just for curiosity, look in the yellow pages of any good-sized metropolitan phone book, and sce for yourselves all the enormous number of columns listing physicians and dentists. What does all this mean? You only call a doctor or a dentist when you consider the condition serious . . . so doesn’t it prove beyond all doubt that there are a vast number of sick and suffering people? T say, most of it is NEEDLESS.

As one writer expresses it; “Our cooks are, indeed, adepts in life-shortening. Human beings have ever been great sufferers from the ignorance of cooks and from their own lack of knowledge of dietetic values and the chemis- try of foods. Injudicious selection of foods and bad cook- ing lay the foundation of many human ills.” How true that is!

So he said, “My God, I never thought of that betore. What do you suggest I do?” I suggested he get my Health Cook Book and have the meals prepared as T out- lined. Then his wife, hearing part of the conversation, asked me, “Will those foods make me beautiful?” You sce, they are multi-millionaires, and yet they know nothing about HEALTH . .. or correct food preparation, on which their health depends, NOTIIING is more important than always FEELING YOUR BEST, enjoying FITNESS and YOUTHFULNESS and freedom trom weakness, sickness and disease, FAMILIES CAN SAVE FROM $250.00 to $1,000.00 ANNUALLY ON THEIR FOOD BILL—AND STILE BE BETTER FED!

Instead of real ‘eyeam” in your coffee, you are asked to toss in a spoonful of powdered chemicals.

Nuts, like brazils and pistachios, have to be dyed and painted. Why can’t they leave natural good foods alone, and give you the real stuff without messing it wp? Oranges and grapefruit have to be artificially colored. Apricots and dried fruits have to be sulphured. Raisins have to be artificially covered with a “vegetable oil.” In fact, it's becoming increasingly difficult to buy in the ordi- nary grocery store any so-called food item which hasn't been “doctored” up in some way or another, READ THE FINE PRINT ON THE LABETLS—and sce for yourself. Many years ago we Nutritional Scientists stressed the importance of getting adequate supplies of natural vita- mins... which are so necessary. To cash in on this educational program, various com- panies offered the public synthetic vitamins, and crystal- line vitamins, available in all drug stores and 50 Many chain stores. But what are these crystalline vitamins made of? Dr. Raymond Bernard tells us: “Fther—made of alcohol and sulphurie acid . . . Benzine—a petroleum derivative . . . Toluenc—a coal tar derivative . Trichloethyline—a petroleum derivative treated with chlorine gas (a poisonous gas added to drinking water)... Methylaleohol—a synthetic wood aleohol (which is known to be poisonous}... The resultant product is then treated with some precip- itant such as iron chloride, barium chloride, lead salts. aluminum salts, ete.” Then Dr. Bernard asks: “Can such a product conceiva- bly bring health? Can such vitamins equal the natural vitamins of organic foods?” Ie further adds: “Crystalline vitamins have been pro- duced by means of artificial heat, which is necessarily destructive to life, whereas natural vitamins are vitalized by the sunlight by whose aid they are formed in the chlo-YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 65 rophyll of the green leaves of the plants. Crystalline vita- mins, also, are subjected to treatment by chemical sol- vents, which are also caustic and harmful, destroying the delicate enzymes of the source material from which they are derived and thus depriving the resulting crystalline vitamins of their synergistic action, so important for proper vitamin utilization.” More than forty years ago, when I was a Professor teaching Dietetics at an castern college, T told students these interesting facts: Our bodies ave composed largely of cells. billions of them. These cells are about three- thousand, five hundredths of an inch in diameter. That is, in a space an inch long, there will be approximately 3,500 body cells, in the system, These cells depend upon food minerals for their functioning power. When the cells are hungry and need nourishment they open up a claw or re- ceptible to suck in such nourishment coming down through the blood-system, technically known as a “recepta.” Food minerals are so small they can easily be sucked in this recepta and utilized by the cells. These natural food minerals are known as ORGANIC, Because (1) they are LIVING foods, and (2), they are capable of being absorbed into the various body cells. But all the various chemicals and drug-products are inert. dead, have no life-foree, and do not contain the clements the cells require, plus the fact that the molecules of these drugs and syntheti¢ products are much larger than the size of the cells. Consequently, the cells cannot suck them in, They are called IN-ORGANIC, because they are dead, inert drugs, and too large for the utilization of the cells, They contain nothing the cells require. I'm explaining this so yon will have a crystal-clear understanding of WHY products containing the various chemicals and also why drugs cannot build new, healthy, stronger cells; they do not nourish you or contribute to your well being. So what happens?How to Save Money on Your Food 66 All the cells sort of “gang up” on these “foreign ele- ments” and recognize them as poisons, so they expend their energy all trying to drive these poisons out of the system, And this activity of these cells in action is the temporary stimulus you may feel. But the cells are still starved of what they really need, with the result they become exhausted and lie down on the job, aud you feel listless, tired, lacking in useful energy. Under the circumstances, what do you do then? You feel this let-down, so you take some MORE of these unnatural artificial stimulants .. . you drink more coffee, or liquor, or take more so-called drug “tonics,” or smoke another cigarette—because vou fecl you have a craving for somethmg. But your cells can't talk, to tell you what they really need, and you keep sending down—day after day—all the wrong, useless stuff. You didn’t know any better, because no one ever told you these vital facts before. Now that you KNOW .. . are you going to keep on shortening your life, needlessly, by a continuance of these foolish, costly, and expensive ritaeitio es? YOU CAN EAT AND DRINK WHAT YOU LIKE— that is YOUR CHOICE. But do you REALLY want to keep on SUFFERING and wasting money when you don’t have to? The cells in your body live in different communities, no community doing the work of any other community. For example, vou have groups of cells which form your heart; another group—vyour liver; another group—your kidneys; another group—your brain and nerves; another group— your eves; and other groups such as the digestive system, the glandular system, the circulatory system, the muscular system, the skin, the bones, teeth, nails and hair; and still another group that compose the sexual or reproductive system. Each of these systems have work to do—some much more than others. But it is the functioning ability of each of the cells in each system that carrics on the activi-YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 67 ties of your heart .. . or liver, kidneys, ete.

Then she said, “That's exactly as you said—how ean children concentrate or think intelligently on all this junk. Dr. Tilney, 1 would like you to prepare a list of foods these children should cat. and T'll send a note home to their parents, telling them what to bring for their limches.” T made out suggestions, and then she called some mectings for the parents. and had me give talks to them, In fact, | put on my Class Les- sons, so they would understand what it was all about.

It’s almost unbelievable.” Then she added, “I have checked up and found that these students are making far better grades than the children in the same age groups in the regular high schools.” Every year at graduation time she called me to give the graduation address, which I was delighted to do, and to the top student | gave a present of one of my books, “YOUR WISHES REALIZED.” The school continued for many, many years in down- town Miami, Then she went to y her sister in Pitts- burg one summer, and, while there, she died, at the age of eighty-five, The school terminated at her death. She was a wonderful woman, and she did something elseYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 69 while operating the school: she would frequently call me, with justifiable pride, stating that various graduates had secured some very lucrative positions. She kept track of them after graduation and was so glad to know all her students were doing so well in their fields. It’s too bad this same plan is not adopted in other schools and colleges. Mrs. Littlewood had convincing PROOF my ideas were practical, sensible and that they worked. They will work in any other school, too, when i y applied. Instead of beating the kids because they are so dumb or unruly—FEED THEM SCIENTIFICALLY WITH NAT- URAL FOODS—and teach them the SCIFNCE OF LIVING, instead of cluttering up their skulls with a mass of useless stuff they will never need in a thousand years, and make the subjects interesting. Then see what a vast improvement there will be in the educational system . . . developing healthier, happier, more intelligent and man- ageable students—plus avoiding so much sickness and absenteeism. I've observed that nearby practically every large school is a candy store or malt shop or soda shop. As soon as the youngsters get out of school, they swarm into these stores and fill up with all the trash . . . loaded with sugar to rob them of caleium—the REAL cause of their rotting and decaying tecth; and calcium is the clement of POWER OF WILL, so it robs them of their will-power. The kids then find it diffienlt to study and concentrate, and parents complain when the report cards show so many C’s, D's and F's... when they should be mainly all A’s. For many vears, they had at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, what they call the “SLOP Shop,” which [ thought an appropriate name, where the hun- dreds of students between or after classes would swallow all the corruption this Slop Shop served. If this is typical of other universities, may it not be responsible for many students being so sloppy—in their minds as well as theirHow to Save Money on Your Food 70 dress, ancl holding some of the most weird ideas they have today! You say, “Oh, but these children need ‘swects’.” I'd be the last to deny them what they need. As pre- viously stated: T NEVER CONDEMN ANYTHING UNLESS I CAN OFFER SOMETHING VASTLY BETTER IN ITS PLACE, Give the kids sweets. But make sure they are NATU- RAL sweets.

In fact, some of my students have written me to say that they've gone into the bakery business, and built up quite a clientele of regular customers, selling breads and allied products made from my recipes. When 1 was visiting in San Francisco, I went over to visit a gym in Oakland, and downstairs there was a juice bar, where salads were also available. As soon as | walkedYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 7 rn 7 in, the fellow behind the counter greeted me, “Why, Dr. Tilney, I'm so glad to see you.” T'd never seen him before. but he said he was one of my students and recognized me from the photograph in one of my books he had. Then he said, “Let me fix you up with a nice fruit salad.” Tt was so delicious | complimented him on it. He said, “Well, it ought to be: I got the recipe out of your book, Dr. Tilney. You got me into this kind of work.” On the other hand, one of my students in Kentucky invited me to give some lectures there, and at the hotel where [ stayed, the manager, after I finished dimmer, asked me, “How did you enjoy the meal?” T said, “Let's skip it.” He asked, “Wasn't the meal satisfactory . . . tell me, for if not, we want to correct it.” 1 then told him, “WHY does vour chef have to ruin the vegetables by cooking them in all that grease—L just couldn't eat them.” He said, “You must be from the north—folks down south would be insulted if you didn't cook the vegetables in grease.” Gosh, no wonder so many folks are sick! When we had our home at Golden Beach, Florida, we had to do our grocery shopping in Hollywood—about six miles away, One day the manager of the grocery store said to me, “YOU are my best customer, and T notice you're always selecting the BEST foods.” We did a tre- mendons amount of entertaining, with up to two thou- sand people, mostly my followers, coming to thank me for benefits they'd received from the Tiley Teachings. So 1 said to this manager, “The foods T select are really the cheapest. Right on this block you have doctors and den- tists who are doing a thriving business. There's a drug store on each corner, but I've never spent a cent on any of them, These good fcods keep us well.” He said, “You cer- tainly have a point there. I never thought of it that way before.” Tt certainly is cheaper to buy the right kinds of foods the body requires.How to Save Money on Your Food 72 Years ago, when I was helping Orcella Rexford give her Health Lectures at the Temple Theatre in Miami, each year she w ould startle her large audicr ices. by sending out for a complete full course meal and have it brought on a tray to the podium on the platform. She also had a large garbage can on the floor. Then she described how useless, from a nutritional standpoint, each course or dish was, and dumped it into the garbage can. After she finally tossed away all this supposedly “good” meal—purchased from a first-class restaurant—she had two ushers take the garbage-can down the aisles and offered a considerable sum if anyone would eat that meal, for which she paid several dollars half an hour before. She had no takers. This may not have been very nice, but it was effectively dramatic and had an electrie effect on the audience. It made people TINK when they sclected their foods after watching that demonstration. T kiow T never forgot it! On the boat going from New York City to Bermuda, I observed one of the passengers eating everything on the menu. When the sca became a bit rough, I saw this fellow hanging over the side, throwing up, and with what he threw up, he lost his false teeth, and 1 heard him nutter, “Oh, my God! My false teeth!” Then he looked up at the Captain's table, as though he expected the Captain to stop the ship and fish for his false teeth, and the ocean was two or three miles deep! Now L was a passenger on the same ship, but T tried to make a wiser selection of foods... and the trip didn't make me seasick. Tf vou don’t get cnough to eat. that can be miserable, too, One time CHARI.ES ATI.AS and T went into a res- tanrant for lunch. (We were business associates in } York for many years.) The waiter brought out a pitiful- looking meal. Mr. Atlas slammed his powerful fist on the table and said to the waiter, “What do you think we are, a couple of canaries?” He then took a business card from his pocket, which opened up and which had a muscular pose of his physique on the inside, and words printed below ewYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 73 the photo: “World’s Most Perfectly-Developed Man.” He said to the waiter, “Here, show this to the chef and tell him who we are.” We saw the chef look through the serv- ing-windoew, and then he loaded up our plates with a ved meal, Which indicates you have to ask for what you want. Another time, the owner of a couple of Vegetarian Res- taurants in New York City came up to visit us, and he said, “Mr, Atlas and Dr. Tilney, won't you boys come and eat in my restaurant?” To accomodate him, we did. Mr. Atlas said to me: “Doe, il the people coming in here are vegetarians, they are a pretty sickly-looking lot. 1 don't want to be a veuctarian . . . do you?” I agreed with him—merely staying off meats is no assurance for selecting acorrectly-balanced diet. Mr. Atlas and [ each had our private offices, and all the wirls, secretaries, bookkeepers, file clerks, and typists worked in the large office. They all went out to lunch at the same time, Then cach noon-time Mr. Atlas and T would get into our swim-trunks and go inte his private office, exercising like blaves, and go to eat after the girls came back. We trained that way so we could be undisturbed and concentrate on what we were doing without interruption, One day a man came bursting into his offiee . . . stood there amazed, watching us exercise. Ile said, “How much is your Course?” Mr. Atlas said “Thirty dollars,” and went on exercising. The man said, “Sign me up.” Le pulled a roll of bills out of his pocket, peeling off three tens, and laid them on the desk. So I signed him up. Then Mr. Atlas said, “As a rule, we have to give a sales talk to enroll a student. Would you mind tell- ing us how you decided so quick?” The man said, “T just came over from Newark, calling on a competitor of yours. Thad previously sent for his catalog, where he showed one photo of himself, and in his booklet he condemned smoking. I went to his office and had to pay $10.00 for a private consultation.

Both you fellows really prac- ticing what you preach... so you get my mone: Many persons have asked me if CHARLES ATLAS really exists. Indeed he does. Ie and a sculptor friend, who made a number of statues from his physique, and myself used to go regularly to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at Filth Avenue and 86th Strect in New York City, at my suggestion, to make a close study of the statues of the ancient Greck vods. Hercules is unquestionably the most muscular, but I observed he had quite flat pectoral (chest) muscles. 1 worked out exercises for Mr. Atlas to do to build up his, to make the peetorals round and full, instead of Hat. Ile co-operated fully and soon built his to look far better than those of Hercules, Then we studied Apollo and noticed that he had no external oblique muscles (side abdominals}, 1 devised special exercises for Mr, Atlas to follow, and he soon built up his to look much better than Apollo. We studied statues of Hermes and others and noted that they were lacking, for example, the lattisimus dorsi muscles (side back muscles}, and I suggested that Mr. Atlas follow special exereises to build up his. In our next catalog 1 showed photos of these statues of Greck gods and new photos of Mr. Atlas in the same identical poses so that anyone could see for themselves by compari- son that he really did have a physique more perfectly developed than any of the ancient Greek gods. It was powerfully convincing. Since then, T have developed new exercise training techniques and we have discovered additiozal facts about Food Science. Today. we are developing hundreds and hundreds of young men to be far more muscular than any of the Greck gods, and now we call them CHAM- PIONS.

Sure it demands some SELF DISCIPLINE, but isn’t it worth it? Many worried wives wonder why their husbands become alcoholics. Usually from two reasons. Many food combinations, plus the highly seasoned and salted foods create an unnatural thirst... which men satisfy by drink- ing. That's why they serve (or used to) free pretzels and salted uuts at bars and taverns, to make you thirsty to drink more and more. Then, too, some of the atrocious mixtures make a man try and seek relief, from liquor, or so he thinks, Eating natural foods which nourish all the cells, one has no craving for liquor or any artificial stimulant. There is no desire even for coffee or cigarettes. The meal, itself, is fully satisfying.

Right here Tam going to outline a simple, easy, pleas- ant, proven and elfective Plan by which you can help yourself achieve these objectives. Llowever, do not fail to carry out this program in full detail if you expect the results you haven't been able to secure by other methods, Dr, Talnage used to say, “We are constantly praying to lleaven for that which we could get casily for ourselves by correct diet.” The facts are: so many human ailments originate from a wrong choice of focds, a serious food-mineral deficiency, and poisons generated by eating and drinking DEVITAL- IZED aud MUCUS-FORMING foodless foods and bever- ages. This causes the hady to be afflicted with many manifes- tations of disease, bringing on various abnormal symp- toms, making you feel tired, worn out, half sick, pepless, sluggish, dull, under- or over-weight, nervous, afflicted with coughs, colds, catarrh, sinus trouble, sickening head- aches, pains and vague aches, constipation, broken sleep, poor appetite, blotchy old-looking skin, sexual abnormal- 79How—In Just Seven Days—To Cleanse Your System 80 ities and weakness, a dull, clogged brain; or cause any of scores of nagging conditions, of which so many people continually suffer. To them, under such circumstances, every effort seems a real burden. Perhaps you have heard them say, “I wish I were dead rather than endure all this suffering.” When the engine of your ear is clogged up with carbon, or your furnace choked up with cinders. you know the results, Our body is somewhat like a living fame. When the car is clogged up it won't generate any power. When the fire is choked up, it soon goes dead. Clean them out and your car generates thrilling NEW POWER, and your fire burns with a NEW BRIGHTNESS. The same thing happens within you. The various organs, glands and tissues, your blood- stream, and your internal mechanisms are choked, plugged-up, clogged, congested with mucus accnmula- tions and toxic wastes, poisons and impurities. At the same time some of the food minerals and LIVING en- zymes they need to be able to function are missing. This is a double disadvantage—so no wonder you fecl so listless, tired, ambitionless, nervous, in pain. No wonder you have thin, weak blood; can't gain solid weight and merely pile on puffy, dangerous fat. You have at various times read newspaper accounts of towns and communities that have been seriously flooded, paralyzing local business with everything temporarily at a standstill until the waters receded. Mud and slime and silt from the over-flown rivers did considerable damage. But, after the flood, the residents busied themselves cleaning up the mess, sweeping the streets, removing the conges- tion, and again prepared for the normal flow of busincss. And how glad they were when all this distress was finally over! From this illustration you have an idea of what happens INSIDE US. How the system is flooded with poisons, mucus, slime and toxins generated by wrong foods andYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 81 inharmonions food combinations causing fermenta- tion—all of which tends to bring on sickness and lack of good health. One authority stated it this way, “Experts in autopsy state they have found from 60 to 70 percent of the colons exainined have foreign matters such as worms and dec- ades-old feces-stones. The inside walls of the upper intes- tines are encrusted by old, hardened feces and resemble in appearance the inside of a filthy stove-pipe.” He further states, “I had fat patients that eliminated from their bodies as much as 50 to 60 pounds of waste, and 10 to 15 pounds from the colon alone, mainly consist- ing of foreign matter, especially old, hardened feces. The average so-called ‘healthy’ man of today carries contin- ually with him since childhood, several pounds of never- eliminated feces, One ‘good stool’ a day means nothing. A fat and sick man is in fact a living cesspool.” The LIFE FORCE, the Divine Power, Universal Intel- ligenee, the God-in-you, whatever you choose to call this LIFE FORCE, becomes choked up and can’t FLOW TILROUGH, so you feel dull, headachy, nervous and suffer with other troubles, We have to get on the job right now and clean our bodies up and remove all this debris. The Plan I'm giving you here acts like a million littke workmen all busy with their brooms and shovels, going to every nook and corner of vour being, sweeping up all the dirt, the impurities, the accumulated mucus which floats around. It makes your insides nice and sweet and clean. It enables the blood supply and nerve energy to FLOW THROUGH YOU uninterruptedly and properly nourishes every tiny cell, every tissue, every muscle, every organ. Wonderful, isn’t it!

TO KEEP ETERNALLY YOUNG, YOU MUST PERMIT THE LIFE FORCE TO FLOW THROUGH YOU WITHOUT BEING HAMPERED IN ANY WAY, Just as you appreciate a vacation every vear—so will your digestive system enjoy and profit by a vacation from the many foods and drinks you have no doubt been eating during the past months and years. And you will welcome the marvelous relief and release as you make this change to CLEANSING FOODS for an entire week, which will also nourish your entire blood stream and wash every cell in your body. It has been said that “food murder” (murdering yourself or tamily by the continued use of the devitalized, miner- al-deficient foods) is a serious sin, just the same as taking your life by any other means; and there is no surer way to end your life in an untimely way—thun by cating the wrong choice of foods, While shooting is a quick method of ending life, the continued eating of devitalized foods (ordinary, average meals) is a somewhat drawn-out way of causing suicide or murder, at the same time suffering all kinds of diseases while dying. Each year we pay homage to mothers on “Mother's Day”, but millions of mothers and wives are unwittingly responsible for a tremendous amount of sickness, suffer- ing, and untimely deaths—hecause of their ignorance of or indifference to the natural. dictetic Principles Tam offering. Tt is said that the way to a man’s heart is via his stom- ach. Many men have dropped dead or suffered serious heart attacks chiefly because of eating the wrong foods. Every RESULT has a CAUSE. Many wives and mothers take great pride in serving the family fancy cakes. Their baking and excessive cookingYOUNG AT 73—ANxD Bryon! 83 and serving of the wrong kinds of foods prepared in the wrong kind of cookware: plus serving wrong food combi- nations at meals is one of the major causes of the ever- increasing sicknesses, pain, tiredness, and untimely ends afficting mankind today. The mothers and wives dont know. They have had no one to tell them anything different. OW are they going to KNOW, unless they LEARN, and how can they LEARN unless they have an experienced Teacher who has made a life-time study of nutrition, dietetics, food- science and biochemistry! Tt would indeed be a wise plan if wives and mothers took a vacation from the kitchen for a week—or at least so much of the cooking, baking and frying—and let all the family feed or feast on the simplest kinds of foods and meals as Pm giving. Then countless millions of people would begin to feel better, look younger, and many of them would experience the delights of greatly-improved health for the first time in their lives. lt is a truth: we are actually FED into sickness, suffer- ing, disease and weakness, and an untimely end. Haven't some folks in your family suffered ENOUGH already? Is all this constant annoyance so much fun that you are eager to continue with it? You've probably tried almost everything else of which you knew, and you are still suffering. Well, why not try “feasting” into health this PLEAS- ANT, EFFECTIVE way, and slough off all the unpleas- ant symptoms which may have been bothering you, and also as a protective measure to help guard your future well-being! This Plan of mine is a SEVEN-DAY CLEANSING FEAST. This means to get the accumulated corruption, poisons, toxins OUT of your system, because they have to ALL COME OUT BEFORE YOU WILL FEEL BETTER.How—In Just Seven Days—To Cleanse Your System 84 So many other methods suppress symptoms temporarily and drive the poisons in, and that’s all wmatural, because it will create a worse trouble later on. I am not suggesting that you “fast”, because for most people this demands too much power of will, which they haven't got, because they lack sufficient food calcium. Tt you prefer a fast, to get you off to a quick start on losing excess weight, for example, then a fast of twenty-four hours would be enough. During such a fast, all food is completely avoided, ancl you merely sip fruit and vegeta- ble juices, raw and freshly squeezed. Let me emphasize again: all juices must be freshly squeezed. Canned juices are all cooked, and the life force in them has been thereby destroyed, and are most cer- tainly not what your system needs. I repeat, and I can't repeat it often enough: your system demands these LIVING ENZYMES, because THEY are the “workmen” with their brooms and shovels, cleaning up all the internal debris and flushing your system clean, driving the poisons out, To clean out clogged sewer pipes, stopped-up drains and cesspools, the correct and modern procedure is to do so with LIVING ENZYMES, available under various trade names, When your body fails to get sufficient of these living enzymes, you become plugged up, vou suffer and manifest the vari- ous evidences ef OLD age—accumulated poisons in the system. But Iet me point out this surprising fact: that by eating certain types of foods which are CLEANSING, and at the same time furnishing urgently needed foud minerals, you may actually achieve better and more satisfactory results than could usually be accomplished by a prolonged fast. This is because, with a prolonged fast. you are only con- tinuing to starve the cells of the minerals they need to be able to fimction normally. With this safe, natural Plan, regaining youthful vitality is not a hardship, nor is it an unpleasant task to heYOUNG AY 73—AND BEYOND! 85 dreaded as is outright fasting. Instead of starving, vou can eat more or less all you want—within sensible reason—of these particular cleansing foods, Tin not suggesting you eat all these particular foods or meals permanently—but for seven days at a time, And any time you are not fecling up to par—go on this seven-day cleansing feast Plan again. Once you try it, youll be con- vineed of its amazing merits and benefits. You won't starve, because the foods are loaded with vital minerals and natural vitamins which your cells are hungering for, and have been denied by the wrong type of foods you have been eating in the past. Before listing these meals it is important to state a few facts so that you will be prepared for any surprising side s, Should you personally experience them. Many reatly underweight and feel they can’t afford to lose a precious ounce. Tt is quite possible you MAY lose a few pounds at the conclusion of this seven-day cleansing feast. Do not be in the least bit alarmed. Because such a loss will be a distinct gain, What you have LOST is the CAUSE of why you haven't been able to GAIN. THINK that over carctlully. Wrong foods—and a lack of food iodine and the vitamin B complex—gum up the action of your weight controlling glands. Thus they can’t convert the foods you eat into healthy, stay-there, muscular flesh. The loss you may possibly experience is an accumula- tion of slime, mucus and rank poisons. You should con- sider it a great blessing to be able to get rid of it so easily. AFTER this accumulation is QUT of your system you will be astonished to note the amazing progress you can make—the pounds of healthy flesh you can soon add IF you were UNDER-weight, plus the all-rouncl wonderful feeling of physical fitness you will fecl—possibly such as you have not enjoyed in years. You may experience the following other temporary annoyances. Lf you don't understand what is taking place inside your body, these little side effects might make youHow—In Just Seven Days—To Cleanse Your System — 86 give up and lull yourself into the false sccurity that you were better off eating what you were betore this feast. You may have some he: adaches, or slight digestive dis- turbance, or skin blotches, or some slight pains. Do not let these disturb you. It's nothing to be alarmed about. Rather, it’s a condition you should rejoice over. Tt is an indication that the feast is really doing the work, accom- plishing the ultimate results you seek, evidence you are really being helped back to youthful vitality. So it is important that vou stick it out for the entire seven days. Monday morning till the following Monday momiing, Then, during the following week you'll congrat- ulate yourself for your persistency and the apparent mira- cle this feasting period has wrought. A transformation is likely to have taken place. Youll feel so grand as you stand on life's threshold, clean, fresh, buoyant, young and peppy—with new hope and ambition. You'll experience an ALIVENESS and freedom from that LOGGINESS, it will seem like a great burden has been lifted from you, Youll start to have a new spar- kle in your eves, a new elasticity in your step, new sun- shine in vour disposition. Youll feel as though you are bubbling over with a NEW KIND OF HEALTIL, which indicates you are now becoming the owner of a clean, “grade A”, first-class body! Here is this Woncder-Working Plan: The LIFE-PRINCIPLE is IN the LIVE, NATURAL, RAW or WATERLESS COOKED VITALIZED beneficial foods we all should cat. When we eat these kind of foods the Yahweh (DIVINE) God-Power flows through us, bringing about an internal condition of harmony, health, strength, aliveness, zestfulness, We are happy, cheerful, vibrant: and we release this superior Gocd-Power in the better kind of work we do, whether by our hands or our brain. When we SHUT OFF the inflow of this Divine Power within us by eating the dead, devitalized, mineral-YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 87 deficient, mucus-forming, processed foodless foods, and deprive our lungs of pure, clean air, always covering our bodies to prevent the inflow of the Creator's sunshine, and failing to exercise regularly—we soon hecome sick, wi diseased, in pain; and we make a veritable “hell” for our- selves, which is so silly. If you desire positive. undeniable confirmation of the TRUTH of this, consider wild animals in their natural habitats. They are never sick, weak, diseased, as long as they can yet enough food of the kind they need. And it is never cooked, but always raw. They never need doctors, dentists, surgeons, hearing-aid specialists, heart, eye, ear or nose specialists: they never need psychiatrists, hospi- tals, clinies, They are never obese or skinny, They live out their full Jife span with plenty of vitality. And they are the DUMB animals! Honestly, isn’t it WE whe are so dumb? It is only the domesticated pets, who are fed incor- rectly by humans, that require the services of vets, To speed up a return of youthful Vitality... the big objective we are seeking, it's a wise plan to AVOTD eating all products MADE WITH white flour, white rice, grits, white sugar, whites of eggs and white salt. Avoid spa- ghetti and macaroni and such items made with white flour, white rolls, white bread, buns, pies, pastries, cakes, puddings, biscuits, and all the packages of cake-mixes. Avoid COW milk... beeause with most folks it's either mucus-forming or constipating. Use GOAT MILK in place of COW milk, which has none of cow milk’s disad- vantages. Cow milk is for calves, and they have four stom- achs, and are uble to digest it. It's better avoided by most humans, Don’t just take MY word for it—prove it yourself, Avoid the commercial ice creams. sundaes, sodas, syrup, soft drinks, the jams, jellies, preserves—all of which are loaded with sugar, which creates these mucus and trouble-making conditions, They plug you up.

Avoid the preserved, smoked, pickled and processed foods and beverages. While all these items constitute the major part of many families’ diets, they contain practically nothing the bil- lions of body cells require. They serve only to clutter up the system and, in due time, according to the amount eaten or consumed, are a contributing leading cause of various physical ailments, They are all food- and mineral-deficient. SO... WHY continue to eat them? Raw cyg whites are pure mucus, and they should be avoided, (Chrysler cars advertised that they had FLOAT- ING Power, because their engines were mounted on rubber blocks... to avoid undue motor vibration. Egg whites serve a similar purpose, to act us a protective FLOATING medium for the vital YOLK. ) Yes, I know, most folks ARE eating all these items cach and every day, at practically every meal. It’s also the REAL REASON WHY so many folks are tired, tolerating pains and having untimely deaths or manifesting prema- ture old age. They may TASTE NICE for the few seconds they are on the tongue, but you have to consider WHAT VALUE do these products serve AFTER they have assed the throat. KNOW what goes on—UNDER YOUR SKIN, INSIDE YOU. You can't manutacture FORCE, VITALITY, VIRILITY, HEALTH, YOUTH OR LONG LIFE FROM ANY OF THESE DEVITALIZED FOOD- LESS PRODUCTS. WAKE UP!

Take FOUR FULL QUAR'TS of these particular fresh juices, and FOUR slices of sweet raw onion during the day. Sip the fruit juices slowly, not all at one time, natu- rally, but during the periods of the day allotted. Take NOTHING ELSE WHATSOEVER for these two days!

The ONTON is added to clean, purily and disin- fect the cells, Any time you are not feeling good, adopt this BLOOD WASH two days a week, such as on a Tuesday and Thurs- day. And eat the CLEANSING FOODS the other five days of the week. Thereafter, keep ONLY to LIVE CELL, VITALIZED foods such as T will reveal, There will be plenty of beneficial foods to eat.

SLOWLY sip as much of these juices as you desire. The more, within reason, the better, Do not gulp the juice: mix it thor- oughly with the saliva.

The sooner OUT, the quicker youll feel better. ) IF during the morning you feel an urgent need for any additional nourishment, sip a glass of carrot juice, adding a teaspoon of raw unheated honey, if desired. Tunch: A head of lettuce, celery hearts, sliced-thin cucumber including the washed skin, some minced par- sley, sliced tomatoes. Enjoy all you wish of these.

Supper: Okra and tomatoes.

Chopped green peppers may also be added with benefit. When ready to serve add a little Vegex (or Marmite, same thing, only made in England ). Also a little KELP powder—takes the place ot salt, which should be avoided. Waterless cooking needs no condiments to add flavor, but since Vegex and Kelp powder add Vitamin B Complex and food iodine which the system requires, they are here suggested. Your choice of fresh fruits or berries for dessert, but NOT strawberries WITIL tomatoes at the SAME meal, becanse this combination is likely to bring on a quick nasal discharge.

In the middle of the morning, sip a glass of unsalted tomato juice with & teaspoon of Vegex stirred in. Thus vou get high-powered nourishment without burdening the system with a mass of dead, foodless food, of which you have to waste precious cnergy in trying to rid your body's digestive system. Be KIND to your internal mechanism, for heaven's sake! Consider what THAT needs, not what YOU WANT for the instant the wrong stuff is on the tongue. Be NUTRITION-MINDED, not merely TASTE- MINDED.

Tf anything is desired during the evening, sip some prune and apple juice, or apple juice with a bit of cin namon added, Stick with it, only TWO more days—KEEP IT UP! It won't be long now, Surely, you are already feeling fitter and finer. These SEVEN DAYS will prove worth the effort. You are NOT starving, and you are NOT cluttering up your system with a mass of useless junk. It’s all lor your own good. LEARN to LIKE what is BENEFICIAL for your system. In place of water, always sip FRESH JUICES, vegetable juices and fruit juices, which are the purest kind of water, plus containing the finest kind of urgently needed food minerals which your cells need daily. For extra energy, you can add an EGG YOLK and the SHELL, prepared in the Blender, SATURDAY: Breakfast: Chilled cantaloupe, melon or bowl of fresh berries. LF these are not available where you live, use the unsweetened frozen berries from your supermarket. In the mid-morning, a glass of orange juice or wiswect- ened pineapple juice with an egg YOLK (no whites) and a teaspoon of honey stirred in. Egg yolks are rich in food phosphorus and lecithin, and the raw honey is an ENERGY food. Sip it very slowly. Lunch: A vegetable cocktail, served hot or cold, with a littke VEGEX added, and get that needed VITAMIN B COMPLEX your WEIGHT-CONTROLLING GLANDS NEED, TOGETHER with the FOOD TODINE as found in the Kelp powder, DULSE, IRISH MOSS OR KELP are virtually the same thing, available at any health food store or Natural Vitamin supply mail order house. Celery, lettuce, onion, sliced cucumber, tomatoes, pars- ley, watercress. Your choice of fresh fruit in season . . .YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 97 but no bananas. IF you have an opportunity to visit a POLYNESIAN RESTAURANT observe how appetizingly and colorfully they arrange these same vegetables and cut-up fruits on the plates, making them mouth-watering delights, and try to arrange and scrve yours to be equally appealing. A few deft touches make all the ditkerence, and really make even these type meals EXCITING ADV! TURES. So use some clever imagination in the attractive way you serve these, with colorful dishes, plates and gleaming silverw are. Supper: Cup of tomato jnice with a little Vegex added to give it that peppy tang and greatly increased rutri- tional value. Remember, your glands, heart, nerves, brain, sexual system, muscles, eyes, hair, skin, tissues and entire blood system EACH have to be adequately nourished, Then enjoy a generous raw salad with assorLed raw grecns with shredded carrot and finely shredded raw cabbage. Season with a little lemon juice, garlie powder, your choice of favorite herbs, paprika and a little KELP powder. In the evening, if anything is desired, try some hot or cold apple juice, with perhaps dash of cinnamon added ... to zip it up. SUNDAY: Breakfast: Glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. Bowl of fresh raw fruits in season, Eat all you desire, Tut cat SLOWLY. Chew thoroughly and enjoy your meal. Don't bury your face in a newspaper, Lunch; Another vegetable cocktail... with a little Vegex added, A salad of watercress, garden cress, chives, endive, escarole, shredded raw beet, shredded raw carrot, shredded vaw cabbage, chopped onion, sliced encumber water-thin, lettuce, minced parsley, a few raw peas, a few raw washed spinach leaves tossed together sprinkled with a little lemon or lime juice.How—In Just Seven Days—To Cleanse Your System — 98 Supper: Glass of unsweetened pineapple juice. A big raw fruit—such as honeydew melon, watermelon, cantaloupe or such type fruit available. Otherwise a bowl of assorted cut-up fruits that you CAN get. The ideas I've given here can prove invaluable if you FAITHFULLY PERSIST with them. FEAST UP on all the possible different varieties of FRESH RAW FRUITS and FRESH RAW VEGETABLES appropriate, and ber- ries, melon, WATERLESS-cooked green and yellow vegetables, IF and when you cannot get those indicated, make the best possible substitute. Do the best you can under YOUR circumstances . . . with the type of foods you can get, depending upon the season and where you live. Many persons find it greatly to their advantage to take an enema or internal bath alternate nights for a few nights before going to bed—to wash and flush out the encrusted intestinal canal, It’s thirty-three feet long . . . remember, BUT DON’T depend on this means for regular bowel activity. Sip prune and fig juice. This subject is cov- ered in more detail elsewhere in this book. Be sure to use lots of onions, garlic and lemon juice during this CLEANSING FEAST WEEK. Why? Because they are NATURE'S MOST POWERFUL NATURAL system cleansers, Waterless-cooked SPANISH onions, Eat these and sip the juice. This, like hot water and lemon juice, are good for breaking up the mucus congestion, and helping to flush it out of the system. FRESH-SQUEEZED cucumber juice is MARVELOUS for flushing out the KIDNEYS. You have miles and miles of fine tubes in the kidneys, much thinner than the thick- ness of your hair, Kidneys are body filters, and when they get clogged up, it’s serious. But the CUCUMBER JUICE, sipped slowly, will work like magic. FRESH-SQUEEZED CELERY JUICE is unexcelled for your nerves. Also wonderful for your stomach and toYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 99 break up.stifiness, helping to keep you agile and supple. YOUNG TENDER RAW CABBAGE JUICE with a little lemon juice is an excellent aid in reducing (while, of course, avoiding starches, fats and sugars, and grease, causing the overweight). FPRESLL JUICY FRUITS, RIPE BERRIES and RAW GREENS are all powerful cleansing agents, blood build- ers and purifiers. IF ulcers are suspected, try sipping fresh-squeezed raw juices of CABBAGE, with celery, carrot and spinach juice. And WATERLESS-COOKED OKRA with cooked smmmmer squash you'll find marvelous. The ORRA puts a ineine film over the aggravated ulcerated condition and gives it a chance to heal. Soy bean milk or goat milk, pep- permint tea and honey are additional beneficial foods to quickly help heal ulcers of the stomach, IF ulcers are sus- pected, in that case avoid the citrus fruits... plus avoid all condiments es, pickles, relishes, ketchup and such, Realize that NATURAL FOODS ARE NATURE'S MEDICINE. Here's how Sir Robert McCarrison says it, “The right kind of food is the most important single factor in the pro- motion of health; and the wrong kind of food the most important Factor in the promotion of disease.” And while Edison said, “NATURAL FOODS will be the MEDICINE of the future,” they are available here and now for your use TODAY. What happens AFTER this Cleansing Feast? Well, once you have lost the desire for the WRONG TYPE OF FOODS, and broken the habit of cating all the useless corruption (that’s exactly what it is)—then you can enjoy many other foods, as will be fully explained in Chapter 7. So yor will have ample to cat, and under my plan you don’t have to subsist on a “split pea and a glass of water!” When the world-famous John Grimek—the World's Most Muscular Marvel—first came to stay and train at myHow—In Just Seven Days—To Cleanse Your Svstem 100 home, he stayed four months. And he wanted to stay much longer, but his employer sent him a number of telegrams to return to work. Before boarding the train north, he said to me, “Doc, I have a confession to make, Pd been reading your articles on dict for years and thought you were a “Diet Crank’, and so I only planned to stay a couple of days, because I love to eat. But you and Mrs. Tilney served the most delicious meals T ever ate.” It was one reason why he stayed so long. Many of the other World's Greatest Champions, living aad training at my home, have all made a similar com- ment, Just because you are urged to make some changes in your choice of foods, they do not have to be unappetizing or unappealing or tasteless. If T can’t offer something BETTER, there is no object in my telling about it. In past years Mrs, Tilney and I have entertained up to two thou- sand persons a year... for year after year. Quite a lot of guests to feed... but they all enjoyed our meals. Most of these folks came from all over the world to personally express their thanks and appreciation for the help they had received from my writings. Remember, fresh raw fruits ure SYSTEM CLEANS- ERS. Fresh raw VEGETABLES and their juices are NEW CELL BUILDERS, 1. STOP adding any more poisons (WRONG foods) to your system. 2. CLEANSE your system this safe, natural, effective way. 3. Then BUILD UP the body by all proven methods. This way you are building NEW YOUTH, FRESH VITALITY, INCREASED PERSONAL POWER.Chapter 5 EATING FOR SUPER HEALTH If vou are not satisfied with your present phy: sical con- dition, and you feel you do not measure up to the splen- did specimen of BEAUTIFUL WOMANHOOD or SUPERB MANHOOD you would like to be—then you must largely blame your past eating habits. They are chiefly responsible for the way you FEEL and the way you look. Let me urge you to keep in step with the times. Go MODERN! You demand the newest in automobiles, furni- ture, homes and household equipment because they are attractive to look at, more dependable and efficient. Give voursel/—-YOUR BODY—a_ THIS YEAR'S MODEL, too Instead of remaining or permitting yourself to grad- ually become aged, bent and stiff, ossified—a burden to yourself and others—it is casily possible to acquire the Vital Force, and Enduring Energy, the Sparkling Pep, the Invigorating Good Health of YOUTH, with a handsome streamlined figure. Then why tolerate any longer an old-style, ont- of-date body when you ean soon possess under my direction—by following these instructions—a sleek, trim, lithe, beauti- fully designed physique! Let me show you how to revitalize, renew and com- pletely MODERNIZE every cell in your body. How? By arousing your ambition for a BETTER- BUILT BODY, and telling yourself you've had enough of the old slug- gislmess, the tired weary listlessness—and you want to 101Eating for Super Health 102 feel crisp, light, buoyant, supple, agile, flexible, ALIVE! You want to get this glad new YOUTHFUL FEELING of “BUBBLING OVER” GLOWING ENERGY, with an excitement, like a gleeful youngster with boundless enthu- siasm and the wonderful exuberance of the shec joy of RADIANT, ZESTFUL LIVING! Get rid of that BLARZ foeling: step out of the drab, dreary dullness and feel yourself OOZING POWER a vets Brilliant BRAIN POWER, MUSCLE POWER, NERVE POWER, SEX POWER, GLAND-YOUTH POWER, Yes, it's GREAT, because the combination of these various POWERS gives you MAGNETIC POWER, which is the POWER to attract and WIN all that’s worthwhile... no matter how many years you have lived. If you are in carnest and serious about this, with some DETERMINATION you can achieve dramatic results during the next few months. YOU CAN PROGRESS AS FAR AS YOU WISH TO GO. The only limit is that which you set for yourself. It is the proper food—properly prepared, properly com- bined—that does the repairing, the building and carrying on the re-creating processes within your body. The sceret is in avoiding all the devitalized corruption, and eating the VITALIZED, LIVE-CELL FOODS in bal- anced combinations. This, plus some real appropriate exercise, and you can virtually defy disease, old age and decrepitude, Previous chapters told you exactly how to cleanse your system, and the sensible, correct way to pre- pare the first week's foods. Make it a rule to buy the freshest, most nourishing of mineral-rich foods. Trying to save a few pennies buying “cheap” foods is poor economy. The quality of your blood, brain and tissues can be no higher oy better than the quality of the foods you sclect and eat. Buy your vegetables, fruits and meats fresh exch day and as early in the day as possible. Immediately on arriv- ing home, clean them and place them in the refrigerator,YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 103 Save the tops of carrots, beets, cclery and the like, which contain important minerals. Don't cook them, put them in your Blender which you should use daily, In selecting vegetables choose those of the brightest colors, and the tender young carrots of deep golden hue; celery should be deepest green instead of the bleached variety. If it is possible to secure ORGANICALLY-GROWN foods in your community, by all means get them. Foods grown this superior way need no chemicals, injurious, poisonous sprays, or fertilizers, to keep the bugs off, beeause it’s the impoverished soil and the chemical sprays which develop the injurious bugs. Some health food stores offer fresh fruits and fresh vegetables from nearby farms where the produce is grown ORGANICALLY, It is certainly worth your while to inquire, and try to induce someone in the community to grow produce this way. There is a vast difference in their food mineral content, which justifies your seeking them out if at all possible. Benefit by the foods in season, Fruits and vegetables seem to arrive ready and ripe when our systems need them. When, for cxample, luscious red-ripe cherries, blackberries, raspberries and other fine fruits arrive . . . get all you can of them, and don't regard them as “Tuxury” foods too expensive to order. They are your cheapest medicine, because they are blood builders, tonics, system cleansers, new healthy cell builders. They contain what your starved cells need, Pears, too, when available, are rich in malic acid your body requires. What about oils and fats for shortening? There seem to be times when someone in the family has a strong desire for french-fried potatoes; and to munch on these on a cold crisp day scems hard to resist for millions of folks. Normally healthy persons of sound digestive systems can “get away with them” once in a great while. But they should not become a part of the regular diet. If and when you feel you must indulge, then cook them in pureEating for Super Health 104 PEANUT OIL. It is odorless, smokeless, tasteless and superior to other types of oil. Tt costs far less than olive oil and has no disagreeable taste like olive oil, Where you find salads must have some oil, use PURE PEANUT OIL as the preferred kind. Never use any lard for any cooking, and be extremely sparing with vegetable shortenings. Folks can soon drift into the habit of using foods requiring such shortenings; and before they realize it they have piled on added unsightly, dangerous, burdensome fat and flab, as well as aggravated the liver from the accumulations of these fat-globules from the shortenings lodged in the system. They also build up fat inside the arteries and around the heart, hampering the circulation of the blood, causing clotting and heart trouble. Why invite such conditions? Never use “mineral oil” internally as this is a eoal-tar derivative, tends to leak out from the bowels, and is unsat- isfactory in every respect. At best, use oils very sparingly and at rare intervals, If you are very thin and skinny, you not only need an improved diet, but might also benefit from taking a couple tablespoons of pure PEANUT OIL. This can easily help fill out your figure to more pleasing proportions. Most men prefer to cuddle a luscious, voluptuous, well- developed ravishing beauty and, as Mr, Atlas says: “Who wanits to caress a toothpick?” T've found that those who are so skinny, mere “elothes- horses”, are often nervous and irritable, because their cells are starved; they would look and fecl so much better with some healthy, shapely flesh on their bones. Why the fash- ion magazines feature and “play up” these anemic, under-nourished females | can never understand. Wamen should dress to please the MAN, not other women. It is said that movie stars have to be on the slender side because photography makes them appear 10 pounds heav- ier than they actually are, Most normal men prefer shapely, trim, well-formed, wholesome beauties, neitherYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 10 7 fat or skinny, Such girls and women are always attractive, appealing and magnetic. If you are over-weight, on the other hand, you must first of all avoid between-meal-nibbling. Many folks pile on the pounds because of boredom or a frustrated mental attitude or because of disappointment in love or other assumed grievances and imagine they are oar themselves by eating between meals. QUIT the habit . yes, RIGHT NOW! Get a new GRIP on yourself, if you are a between-meal-nibbler, and get interested in some worthwhile hobby or give yourself something constructive to do, Phinge into some figure-conditioning exercises— that’s far more sensible than raiding the cookie-jar, the candy bow] or the refrigerator. Remember at Christmastime or Thanksgiving when you were a youngster supposedly helping your Mom with the cooking, and you'd snitch some of the citron peel or rai- sins and she would rap you on the knuckles for it? Think of that when you feel tempted to do that mid-meal nib- bling. WATT until the next meal time. If you must have something to give you quick new energy, mix yourself a Fruit Cocktail in the Blender, such as orange juice with an egg yolk and spoonful of raw, unheated honey and a seoop of ice cubes. Sip slowly. But to sit in a chair every morning or afternoon, watch- ing TV and munching on cakes and cookies and coffee, tarts or pies, coffee cakes. Danish or French pastries or eclairs, or candy or chocolates, sundaes and sodas, or pop- corn or cheese crackers, doughnuts and pretzels, canapes or gingerbread—is only cluttering up your system to make you thick and heavy in the middle. At night, when you come home from the movies or thea- ter, pass up those “drive-ins” and such eating places. Your system doesn't need those hamburgers, french-fries and coffee, sandwiches or those fattening soda-drinks. Learn to leave those alone tor the sake of your figure and fitness . as well as the money you save. These “catcries” haveEating for Super Health 106 got your money—but what have you got? A system loaded with a mass of corruption ruinous to your health and your Well-Being . . . and after a few months of this you've piled on a lot of flabby, unsightly fat you wish you could get rid of. Learn to say “NO!” and mean it. Look around you, next time you go to the movies and the lights are turned on, and sce how few of the patrons have the stunning, attractive figures the lovely stars shown on the silver screen have, How these folks admire and envy the trim, poised, serene good looks of the movie stars. In Hollywood these girls have to observe a rigid program of SELF DISCI- PLINE because they know their job, their success, their climb to stardom, their income, their box office appeal and popular following depends so much on their FIGURE FITNESS, which is governed and controlled by their eating habits. They can’t afford, in spite of their fabulous incomes, to cat any and everything that may tempt them. Why not use the same good sense? Look around you and you'll have to agree, it’s not far from the truth how the majority of people are aggravated with overweight, from burdening the digestive svstem with so much useless stuff which cannot be converted into healthy tissue or youthful vitality. When Dr. Lewis called on his friend in the evening, he asked him, “How many. so far?” as he found him alone, occupied with a bowl of doughnuts. “Oh, cight or ten, perhaps—only a few, anyway.” “Didn't you haye any supper?” “Yes, I did, of course. I ate supper as usual, and I shouldn't have touched these, but somehow I didn’t feel very well and was sort of lonesome, and these doughnuts are kind of company for me, you know. The old woman always fries them for me in the evenings, and when they are nice and hot I sometimes cat more than twenty of them, just to sort of pass away the time, you know.” Lis wife would urge him to “clean up the doughnuts”YOUNG AT 73—-AND BEYOND! 107 evenings, for he wouldn't care for them in the mornings, partly because they would be cold, but even more beewuse of his catarrh, biliousness, liver torpidity, consti- pation, sleeplessness, dullness, low spirits, ete, which always bothered him in the mornings, But the doughnuts after supper had nothing to do with such things, or his pimples. blotches and yellow and brown spots! Of course not! Those were “mysterious” afflictions, which the doctor would help him get rid of. Physicians say that apoplexy, heart failure and many cases of sudden death ean be traced directly to stomachs over-taxed and weak, vet pushed on to tasks for which they cannot cope by those who lack the power of will to curb their excessive eating habits. The BIGGER the WAIST-Line, the SHORTER the LIFE-LINE. Most of the untimely deaths, not accident cases, have the yeurs cut short from over-cating—and of the wrong foods, prepared the wrong way. All of which is another way of reminding you that you reap what you sow, If you hope for a long, useful, and trouble-free life, use some discretion regarding the foods you eat. Let the instruction in this book be your safe gnide. Sad, but true, the Dining Room of the average home is the great Execution Chamber of modern civilization. Here's what you can do to postpone this indefinitely: DIETETIC LAWS REMEMBER—OBs {VD RULES RVE—OBEY! Eat slowly. Chew all food thoroughly. Never take another mouthful until the previous mouthful has been completely chewed and swallowed, Try to balance your meals so that throughout the day the totals taken ‘are 80% alkaline and 20% acid. I'll list these types of foods further along,Eating for Super Health 108 Sip slowly BETWEEN MEALS one to three cups or glasses of FRESH-SQUEEZED, RAW vegetable juices daily, and some fresh, raw fruit juice. This works like magic. Try to avoid eating citrus fruits with starches at the same meal, as this combination often causes gas. Use citrus fruits or juices at least twenty minutes BEFORE a meal, preferably. (EXAMPLE: avoid orange, grapefruit or lemon or lime or their juices with breads, potatoes, corn, cereals, ete.) Avoid the fried, fatty, greasy foods and delicatessan meat mixtures. Avoid the meats which are smoked, salted, cured, pickled, dried, spiced, preserved. Because NATURAL foods are Nature’s MEDICINES anytime you're not feeling up to par. Avoid other foods and sip fresh-squeezed, raw vegetable juices or fresh- squeezed fruit juices. SIT UP STRAIGHT at the dining table, avoiding the bent-over position. Keep both feet firmly on the floor while sitting at the dining table. Avoid crossing one thigh over the other as this hampers the digestive process. Eat under pleasant conditions and cheerful surround- ings. Avoid all arguments or family friction at mcal-times, and avoid unpleasant topies. Conversation should be light, bright, optimistic as the digestion of food is ham- pered when the mind is under the influence of a depressed, fearful, angry or jealous state, It's a good time to crack jokes and tell funny stories. Avoid burying your face in a newspaper or book at meal-times, Pay full attention to what you are doing. In preparing meals: all those that need cooking should be WATERLESS-COOKED, to retain the LIVING en- zymes, minerals and natural vitamins in the foods, Avoid soaking, peeling, boiling and the usc of grease. Cooking water from vegetables should not be thrown away as it is rich in the needed mineral elements the system requires,YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 109 Avoid elaborate combinations at any one meal. Keep the meals simple, but during each two-week period try to get in as great a variety of different nutritious foods as possible. If UNDER-weight—instead of stufling—eat modest- sized meals and include an extra meal, plus sip the vegetable juices BETWEEN meals. If OVER-weight, cut out all devitalized foodless foods, cut down the natural sweets, fats and sugars until weight is back to normal. Avoid drinking more water than is absolutely necessary to quench thirst. A gallon of water weighs ten pounds, Sip raw fruit or vegetable juices instead, which are the purest kind of water. Do not gulp your liquids. Sip them slowly and mix with saliva in the mouth. Keep away from indigestible products such as cans of pork and beans, rich gravies, syrups, cakes, pics. dough- nuts, preserves, jams, jellies, marmalade, crystallized products, ordinary candies, meat mixtures, and those with chemicals added. You only waste energy trying to get rid of them. Fquip vour kitchen with a few essential “tools” for the proper preparation of foods, such as a Blender with a Juicer Attachment, and a complete set of 3-ply De Luxe Stainless Steel Waterless Cookware, These are life-time investments to help save you time, energy, money. Vinish off a meal with a dessert of fresh, ripe raw fruit, berries or melon, instead of pies, pastries, cakes, puddings, ice cream, sundaes or sodas. Where the use of “sugar” is called for, avoid using WHITE sugar as this has been bleached in sulphuric acid, and it is also mucus-lorming. Use raw brown sugar, or raw unheated honey for sweetening purposes. Where the use of “salt” is mentioned in recipes, it does NOT mean the common WHITE salt, which is inorganic. Use KELP powder, or Dulse or Lrish Moss (virtually the same items prepared from seaweed ), a natural saltier saltEating for Super Health 110 which is organic and also rich in natural food iodine the system requires. Egg whites are best avoided. Tu their raw state they are pure mucus, In a few recipes the use of egg whites is included to act as a binder. Save egg-whites in a saucer and use privately when alone on the face to help over- come facial lines (leave on for half an hour and gently wash off), Egg yolks are rich in food phosphorous and lecithin the body requires, Egg shells are rich in CAL- CIUM, and should be placed (with other foods) in a Blender, which will cut them up to a liquid without gritty pieces, and release the needed food calcium, thus saving buying expensive CALCIUM tablets. When you are an invited guest at a meal not prepared in accordance with the principles in this book, make the best selection from the foods served. Do not make your host uncomfortable about the meal, Take smallest por- tions possible under the circumstances, Never serve more than one starch-type food at a meal. FOR EXAMPLE, avoid potatoes with corn with rice with bread, with puddings or pastries or bananas. Add color to meals by avoiding WHITE potatoes, WHITE onions, WHITE cauliflower, at a single meal. The use of beets, purple cabhage (raw), golden carrots, rutabagas, squash, peas, beans (French cut), and mush- rooms adds colorful eye-uppeal to meals, Foods prepared in WATERLESS COOKING utensils require no condiments, but a little lemon juice takes the place of salt, and more lemon juice takes the place of vinegar. Various herbs—thyme, cinnamon, garlic, parsley, mushrooms, Vegex or Marmite, and Kelp Powder can be added where appropriate. Tf in a hurry, avoid eating at that time. WAIT till you DO have ample time to cat Icisurely. Gobbling the food while on the run and washing it down with a cup of muddy coffee is not doing your system any good: you are far better off NOT cating when rushed. EAT SLOWLYYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! lil aid CHEW THE FOOD TLIOROUGHLY. WHY be in such a rush to the “underground bungalow” because when you finally make it, you'll be there a long, long time: so ENJOY LIVING while you are here. Make your food and your meals WORK FOR YOU, instead of AGAINST you. Regard EATING as a SACRED ADVENTURE, because the wholesome foods you are urged to eat are the BUILDERS and REPLENISHERS of the BODY TEMPLE. Build it well. EAT SOME OF THESE FOODS DAILY: BRAIN & NERVE FOODS; for clear, quick thinking, driving power and nerve force! Lean fresh beef, mutton, fowl, fish, egg yolks, cheese, MUSCLE & BONE FOODS; for giving sustaining power and helping build muscle—bananas, flaked chestnuts, rutabavas, potatoes, corn on the cob, rye bread, oats. BLOOD PURIFYING AND CLEANSING FOODS: leafy vegetables, salad greens, celery, cucumbers, car- rots, peas, radishes, cress, onions, garlic. Berries, apples, peaches, cantaloupe, papaya, pears, lemons, grapefruit, oranges. SOLVENTS: for maintaining the fluids in the system— grapefruit juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, tomato juice, grape juice, apple juice. Include some of these foods from EACH OF THESE GROUPS—EVERY day—and stay YOUNG. The lon. Royal $. Copeland, M.D., late New York Sen- ator, said, “There is no question that the people of this nation should be educated to consume more of the natural foods and to stop the use of so many of the unworthy sub- stitutes, Today folks are realizing that the best medicine is food,” Here is WHY “SUCCESS” COURSES, TRAINING AND PSYCHOLOGY COURSES HAVE SO OFTEN FAILED:Eating for Super Health 112 Your brain power, your success, your cmotional nature are essentially dependent upon a full adequate maximum supply of all the essential food minerals, Mind-training courses have failed to help many ambitious students because the fundamental, bed-rock principle I'm giving here has never been mentioned in such courses. It is ONLY when the brain is properly fed—by the blood, with sufficient of these various food minerals—that you can think clearly, have fine sense perception, create winning ideas, and develop successful plans and acquire improved memory. Thoughts may be thought of as gener- ated substances composed of and transformed from these mineral elements, which have the LIFE-FORCE in them, to PUT and KEEP the LIFE-FORCE flowing through your brain and nerves and blood stream, When vou eat foods lacking in these essential elements, the brain and its forty-two different faculties have not been nourished, With hour-by-hour drains made wpon the brain, it is no wonder the mind becomes blank, cannot think, concentrate, remember, perecive, pay attention or make quick decisions, If you are constantly robbing your brain and putting nothing back'to compensate for the loss, isn’t it quite evi- dent that the mind becomes dull, stupid, thick, sluggish? Mineral-starved brains, which are also cluttered up with brain-ash (toxic-laden blood) are responsible for far more trouble than most folks realize. For example, people complain as they advance in life of their poor memory. But when the use of food manganese is stepped up, it helps photograph impressions from almost-used-up cells—transferring them to the new cells, When this food element is lacking, it fails to make these “impression-transfers” and that is one reason why vou easily forget. Impressions are hazy and not sufficiently TMPRESSED on the “memory cells, Practically every symptom you experience is the result of a lack of these food minerals, living enzymes and natu-YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 113 ral vitamins; or pressure on the nerves in the spinal column; or pressure caused by little chunks of mucus and phlegm floating around in the body, pressing on sensitive nerves, seeking ultimate release from the nose or throat. JUICES HELP EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. This is also WILY your food mineral intake must be STEPPED UP and the foocless foods avoided. Sip the fresh-squeezed raw vegetable juices between meals. Because this gives you quick, dependable, safe, effective results. It makes excessive eating or cating unpalatable foods unnecessary, Besides, the foods you really need may not be particu- larly appealing to you, or you may not have strong enough tecth to properly chew them. And, most important of all, these nutrients in RAW FRESH JUICE FORM produce much better results than the same vegetables in the regular diet. They do it for these rez In the first place, na one could eat ALL these beneficial vegetables in the proper proportions for meal after meal, over a long period of time. regardless of how urgently needed they are by the system. The vital food minerals, ete., are enclosed in the cellu- lose coverings, so the minerals pass out of the body mostly unused. For proof of this, cat some raw nuts, or sun- flower seeds, and later look at your stools, and you'll sec chunks of nuts and these seeds in the feces you thought you chewed, but you didn't. See for yourself, this way you will know. Ons: It's amazing how much of the food you eat actually passes out of the body undigested and is thercfore wasted But when the foods are JUICE-SQUEEZED and vou sip the JUICE, the minerals are taken almost immediately and directly into the blood stream, there to feed and nourish billions of hungry cells. Just look at the mass of rejected pulp from the vegeta- bles after juicing—you can see ata glance that you wouldEating for Super Health 114 have to expend a tremendous amount of energy trying to chew and digest all that mass. Get a high-quality Blender, if you don’t already have one. It has the uncanny ability to fracture the cellulose in all raw foods and release the precious food minerals, vita- mins and amino acids, enzymes and proteins—thus con- serving your energy, and making it possible to get what your body really requires. Understand, I am NOT sug- gesting you live exclusively on these raw juices. Foods that need to be cooked should be prepared the WATERLESS way. This tenderizes the foods, at compar- atively low temperatures, and makes the food minerals available—while ordinary cooking, with its BOILING and PEELING, cte., destroys these elements. In long-standing cases of mineral depletion, it is some- times a slow process to reconstruct the sadly weakened or deficient parts. So, to get satisfactory and lasting results, it is essential that these juices should be sipped slowly and persistently, every day, As you consistently use them, (while avoiding all the devitalized foodless products), you will discover a marvelous revitalizing of your entire body, heeause you are building NEW CELL MATERIAL. It is TINS rebuilding process that will help keep you FOR- EVER YOUNG—and it will be reflected by sound vigor- ous health, mental alertness and a cheerful, happy disposi- tion, No one can “give” you LLZALTH. Health and YOUTH- FUL VITALITY come from APPLIED KNOWLEDGE of NATURAL LAWS. They are a matter of intelligent EDUCATION in the Science of Living. They can never be replaced by drug treatments, which do not correct wrong past living habits. If you are not willing to make the required effort to follow these Universal Laws you should blame no one but YOURSELF FOR YOUR SUFFERING. To repeat once again the functions of the body: The activities of the muscles and the mind are continuallyYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 115 breaking down the life-cells. These must be replenished as soon as they break-down. New material must be regularly, daily, supplied to take the place of that which has been used up. When the RIGHT KIND of food is furnished, the body is able to renew itself and repair its own waste. Dead cells accumulate when there is a lack of this new material for the replenishing processes which are always going on within your body. Thus when you continue to eat foods deprived of these minerals, a different and abnormal chemistry is formed within your body. This abnormal state we call “disease’"—which is simply the absence of health, and this tells us to correct our eating habits. But more than this—the foods you eat that are devoid of these essential clements also clutter up your body— creating a condition of congestion—add toxins (food poi- soning) to your system which your cells cannot utilize, resulting in double trouble. IT IS THIS THAT IS THE ROOT-CAUSE OF MOST DISEASE. Disease is seldom caused BY “germs.” Germs cannot thrive on healthy tissue, because the LIVING ENZYMES eat them up. Germs can only thrive in “fertile soil.” They thrive on bacteria, toxins, poisons, bodily congestion, They act as scavengers to eat up the poisons. Thus if you remove the waste matter—on which the germs live—the germs will go, Just like flies—which are immediately attracted to exposed garbage—will disappear if you remove or cover the garbage, Instead of FEARING or being concerned over “germs” avoid the devitalized foodless foods and sce that your system gets an ADEQUATE (not minimum, but MAXI- MUM) amount of the required food minerals, living enzymes and vitamins each and every day. By observing other simple Health Laws, you need never know what dis- ease or sickness or real OLD age is. On page after page in this book you are going to dis-Eating for Super Health 116 cover that you can enjoy new menu delights chuck full of surprise dishes, with palatable new flavor teeming with energy-rich goodness which will build up and repair depleted health resources. These will liclp to restock your energy reserves for keener mental and physical alertness for vear after year during a long life time. Surely, you must agree, that’s wonderful good news!Chapter 6 TO LIVE FAR LONGER— ABANDON OBSOLETE COOKING HABITS A ! > BEGINS WITH THE WRON PREPARATION OF FOODS Professor Oscar E, Schotts of Amherst College says that your body possesses a seed of perpetual life, which keeps the body in constant repair—provided it is fed the proper elements. Correct food preparation is an all-important job that has been seriously neglected by our wives, mothers, cooks and chefs. Money and intelligence do not assure a good dict. You sce evidences of poor nutrition among countless numbers of families in the upper income brackets, Good nutrition demands: 1) a knowledge of what the human body daily requires, and 2) how best to supply it. Comparatively few persons have such knowledge even though the proper and scientific method of feeding cows, sheep and swine, hogs and chickens reccives widespread, careful attention, because the financial benefits from such “good uutrition” pays off in dollars received at the mar- kets. Dr, Henry C. Sherman states: “Better growth and development, higher attainment in staminia and working elliciency and a LONGER LEASE ON LIFE may all be realized through the use of the NEWER knowledge of nutrition.” Scientists, laboratories and universities have made amazing progress recently regarding studies of food in 117To Live Longer—Abandon Obsolete Cooking Habits 118 relation to the body’s necds. As a result, enough is known to accomplish a tremendous improvement in your health, longevity and happiness. Tt is the 1,095 meals you eat each year which either help promote vour health and well-heing—OR cause so much physical distress and untimely death. Let me repeat the basic facts again: living enzymes, plus minerals, vitamins and protein foods are the starting point in your striving for the better built and more youth- ful body you crave. Obtain only insufficient amounts of the basic building blocks, and you soon become physically below par, feel poorly and start showing evidences of untimely age. Most important of them all are the living enzymes because ALL LIVING things are created and sustained by ENZYMATIC ACTION, and all DEATH (besides accidental death) IS CAUSED BY THE LACK OF THESE LIVING ENZYMES. All COOKED or CANNED foods and almost all other “processed” foods have completely eliminated these en- zymes in order to “keep” or “preserve” such food. Enzymes prefer temperature 70 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. They will work effectively in the range from 40 degrees to 160 degrees. At 170 to 180 degrees most enzymes , are destroyed or killed. Below freezing, their action stops completely and they remain inactive. When they are again warmed above the 40 degree mark, good action resumes and nothing is lost by the chilling. They prefer a neutral condition, ucither too acid or too alkaline. Thus foods and vegetables which are SERVED WITHOUT COOKING STILL RETAIN THE NORMAL QUANTI- TIES OF LIVING ENZYMES, Next come the minerals, Minerals act as NEW CELL BUILDERS and cnable the billions of cells to function and carry on their respective duties. They are also regula- tors of vital life processes. Your body can only get them from the natural foods you eat. Next are the VITAMINS. While the amounts of Vitamins you need are tiny, aYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 119 deficiency of any one of them is grave. They act like the spark-plugs in your ear. THESE FIVE ENEMIES ROB YOUR FOOD OF NEEDED LIVING ENZYMES, MLNERALS AND VITAMINS 1. PEELING AND CORING., Peeling and coring of foods remove the essential minerals directly beneath the skin. 2. BOILING, Boiling, which is 212 degrees, DESTROYS ALL LIVING ENZYMES, Dissolves water-soluble vita- mins and minerals so essential to good health and new tissue building. . HGH TEMPERATURES, High temperature destroys many vitamins, the enzymes, and toughens some meats and vegetables. 4d. OXIDATION. The steam that escapes from high tem- perature and boiling results in’ vitamin and mineral losses, and causes losses in the flavor and color of foods. >. GREASE. Foods cooked in grease are seven times harder to digest, robbing you of the vital energy you need to remain tireless, on STOP DESTROYING THESE LIVING ENZYMES, MINERALS AND VITAMINS YOU UNDO NATURE'S WORK WIEN YOU CON- TINUE TO BOIL AND STIR, PELL AND SOAK, DRAIN OFF THE WATER AND USE GREASE FOR ALL YOUR COOKING, If vour sink were alive, it would be the best-fed member of your family! Do you realize that by ORDINARY COOKING you are simply eating what virtually amounts to a mass of DEAD, FOODLESS FOOD. When you make tea or coffee, what do you do? You drink the INFUSION .. . and throw the tea-leaves or coffeeTo Live Longer—Abandon Obsolete Cooking Habits 120 grounds away, don't you? Because whatever “goodness” there may have once been in the leaves or coffee is in the LIQUID! Yet you pour the same precious FOOD LIQUIDS, rich in minerals and vitamins, down the kitchen sink, and eat the mass of “DEAD” trash that remains. No wonder mil- lions are so constantly tired, pooped, have no SPAR- KLING VITALITY, no ambition, no animation, no ZEST for glorious LIVING, no incentive to exercise. For another proof of this vital fact: When a new mother arrives home from the hospital and doesn’t breast-leed her baby, the nurse or doctor tells her to BOIL the nursing bottles, After every surgical operation, the doctors BOIL all their instruments, Why? To KILL, DESTROY and STERILIZE. Yes, to KILL any living organisms on cither the nursing bottles or the surgical instruments, Well, when you BOLL foods with ordinary cooking you are KILLING and DESTROYING all the LIVING enzymes, and when they are DEAD, the food is also DEAD. CANNED foods are also COOKED and are STERILE ..» DEAD. Dr. Charles Mayo, of the famed Mayo Clinic, stated: “The average housewife peels her vegetables—thus throw- ing away the part containing the most plentiful supply of minerals. The remaining portion is boiled, and the water, which is thrown away is full of the minerals.” STOP THESE VITAL FOOD LOSSES! Several years ago Pennsylvania State College made a study of the importance of PROPER cooking and the wise selection of foods for best nutrition, The results of this study were shocking. Tests showed that supposedly healthy people did not realize they had caten their way to poor health, Most had minor nutritional deficienciesYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 121 which neither they nor their families suspected. Fatigue and nervous habits were common, not serious in them- selves, but evidence of more serious conditions which would follow. Besides poor selection of foods, the record showed excessive cooking losses. Too much water was used—food was cooked too long at HIGH heat, and the excess water was poured down the drain. Sixty to 64 families lacked PROPER COOKING UTENSILS with features necessary to RETAIN most of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes in the foods prepared. After the introduction of suggested FOOD SELEC- TION and CORRECT COOKING UTENSILS the report on the same group showed REMARKABLE IMPROVE- MENT. After one year of following prescribed eating habits, the group showed fewer colds, better child growth, improved weight, and a HIGHER all around medical rating. The U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, in a booklet states: “COOKING is the final hurdle that nutrients must clear to gct safely to the dining table. Many factors affect the proportion of the different nutrients left in cooked food. The volume of water used is one of the most important factors. The larger the amount, the more these nutrients are drained off.” This is GOV- ERNMENT CONFIRMATION of what I am telling you. In the “Nutrition Handbook” by Demetria Taylor, she truly se “We must learn the basic principles of RETAINING food values in cooking. We must discard BAD COOKING HABITS and resolve to adopt NEW METHODS which will result in more appetizing, better tasting and more nutritious foods.” For example: Stirring should be avoided since air that is stirred in speeds wp vitamin destruction. Soaking before cooking should also be avoided. The SECRET of MODERN COOKING consists of this simple procedure: Start the foods on MEDIUM heat,To Live Longer—Abandon Obsolete Cooking Habits 122 never HIGH heat. Then turn to LOW heat. Use practi- cally no water. Never use grease. Cook only in a vapor seal (to prevent oxidation ). Foods cooked this scientific way will have a better color, won't be soggy, will have a pleasant texture, and will be far more delicious to the taste. They will offer the important bonus of retaining practically ALL THE LIVING ENZYMES, MINERALS, VITAMINS which were in the foods when raw, and which have escaped the destruction from drowning in needless water, or by long, slow cooking at too high temperatures, The responsibility of the person who cooks your food is great. Urge vour wile, mother, cook or chef to read this message and STOP RUINING OTHERWISE GOOD FOOD. Ask them to stop cheating you out of proper nutritional valucs by pecling, high temperatures, stirring, leaving off the lid or boiling foods, and the use of grease. All this is wasting good food, Remember—‘filling up” the stomach with a mass of “dead” food isn't goig to nourish you, build NEW, HEALTHY, LIVING CELLS, OR GIVE YOU ENERGY, or Strength, Prove this yourself right now. Eat a carrot RAW and it’s sweet and delicious. COOK it the ORDINARY way and it’s practically tastcless: to give it any favor you have to add salt and pepper—But when cooked the waterless way, all foods have maximum flavor and need no condi- ments. These foods are really RAW, but the waterless- cooking tenderizes them, with practically all their mutri- tional food value fully retained. Prepared this better way, foods will offer you a NEW EXCITING TASTE THRILL, beeause you SAVE all the delicious appetizing flavor, color and texture. Foods are never soggy, wrinkled, or shrunken when cooked this effective safe way, TIIENK about this for a minute. In most homes, folks spend $250.00 and more on a refrig- erator to store their perishable foods. They spend an average of $250 and up on an electric or gas range to cookYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 123 the food. Then 875 on a sink to wash the food. Then several hundred dollars more for a dining table, dishes and silverware. But at EVERY MEAL THEY RUIN THE VITAL NOURISHMENT IN THE FOODS BY THE WRONG POTS AND PANS IN WHICH THEY PRE- PARE TILE FOODS. Stupid, isn’t it? This is especially trne when you realize a housewife spends upproximately 35 years preparing 1000 meals or more EVERY YEAR, and over $30,000 for food in a mar- ried lifetime, and 25,000 hours preparing meals. These figures indicate the necessity of having EFFI- CIENT, CORRECT COOKING UTENSILS in the kitchen, just as a mechanic needs a proper set of tools to do his job successfully. If the pots and pans the average housewife used daily were stacked on top of each other, she would have a pile and scrape and clean and scour during her married life 35 times LIGIER than the Empire State Building! She can save so much time and energy by using a matched set of 3 ply high quality stainless steel water- less cookware: because they are permanently mirror- bright, so easy to clean and never become stained or pitted. There is nothing to break or wear out; they are efficient with their diamond-hard, lifetime beauty; will never dull or tarnish through the years; resist denting and chipping or other corrosive actions of certain foods; save flavor, save fuel and save money—and above all SAVE YOUR LIEALTIL Did you know Americans spend either by mail or over drug-store counters over TWO BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY ON VITAMINS. Why? Because they continually destroy the precious food- vitamins because of their WRONG cooking methods! By this WATERLESS method of CORRECT cooking there is practically no vitamin loss and no shrinkage or drying out of foods. Take a 4% Ib. roast baked in an ordinary oven. WhenTo Live Longer—Abandon Obsolete Cooking Habits 124 it’s done you have only 3 Tbs. of meat. and it's often dried out at that Prepared the WATERLESS WAY you have 42 Ths—all truly mouth-wateringly delicious, so tender you can cut it with a fork. In fact, you can use thriftier cuts of meat, and they will taste better. With WATERLESS cooking you NEVER use HIGH heat, so you do NOT destroy the LIVING ENZYMES your body must have. You start on MEDIUM heat, then when you sce the VAPOR SEAL AT THE COVER, you turn to lowest low heat, and you SAVE TWO THIRDS of your fuel bill every month—plus having a cooler kitchen, and a cleaner one and no vapors escaping. So—for better health, longer life, more delicious meals, thriftier meals, a cooler kitchen, far less work with no peeling, scraping and boiling—prepare all the foods that need to be cooked in 3 ply stainless steel WATERLESS COOKWARE—the method of cooking approved by the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, to help assure maxi- mum food values. SAVAGES KNOW MORE ABOUT FOOD THAN WE DO! Dr. Weston A. Price, in his world wide search for people with good teeth, discovered 14 sizeable communi- ties of primitive people, many living in good health FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS, practically free from degen- erative diseases. These healthy people kept their own teeth for life. They ate natural, unrefined and mostly raw food. When Dr. Price examined the primitive neighbors who lived on the “foods of commerce”, mostly refined and canned food, he found them suffering with all types of degenerative diseases. They were short lived and had very poor teeth. Jonathan Forman, M.D., Editor of the Ohio Medical SaYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 125 Journal, said: “There are too many socially minded people spending too much time and too much energy planning how to get more care for more sickness. “All this energy should be directed into teaching our people the importance of a good diet; and to sce that the eating habits are changed to conform to what we already know about nutrition, “Better medical facilities and wider distribution of phy- sicians and dentists will never overcome the fundamental difficulties or make any appreciable dent in our disgrace- ful sickness and death rates, “It is disgraceful because it can be prevented. A hungry, undernourished people are a half-sick people, so let us get down to a sound nutritional program for all. “People do not die of infectious diseases as such, but from the MALNUTRITION that allows the germ to gain a foothold. In the non-infectious, fatal diseases or degnera- tive disease, BAD NUTRITION is a contributing CAUSE in EVERY instance.” William J. Mayo, M.D., has this to say: “Cancer of the stomach forms nearly one third of all cancers of the human body. $o far as I know. this is not true of the lower animals or of uncivilized man... Is it not possible therefore, that there is something in the habits of civilized man which creates the precancerous condition? “Within the last one hundred years, four times as much meat is taken as before that time. If flesh foods are not broken up, decomposition results, and active poisons are thrown into an organ not intended for their reception, and which has not had time to adapt itself to the new condi- lion...” Every hour, more than FOUR THOUSAND PER- are being rushed to hospi- SONS—anen, women, children tals because of various sicknesses, mostly caused by wrong eating, Ss sTo Live Longer—Abandon Obsolete Cooking Habits 126 Last year, more than TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND TONS OF LAXATIVES were purchased.

Well, there is! Yet it is so simple and common, most folks completely overlook it... never give it a thought. Let me say it once again: It is the use of 1) RAW FOODS; and 2) PRESH-SQUEEZED SOLAR-ENERGY CHARGED RAW LIVE VEGETABLE JUICES sipped slowly between more nutritious meals. Just to go back to the jnices for one moment: The famous Australian Food Scientist, Lawrence Armstrong, stated: “For imparting VITALITY and building up resis- tance to disease, RAW JUICES HAVE NO EQUAL, and should form a part of the daily dietary of young and old.” While Dr. Kirschner, in one of the fastest-selling health books, “LIVE JUICES”, says: “There is a miraculous LIFE-GIVING FORCE contained in fruit and vegetable juices,” OF course, there are no “miracle” foods or food supple- ments. There is NO food, or concentrate, or appliance which will “curc” any so-called “disease”. Is this DEFI- NITELY understood? I am NOT concemed with “curing” anything on anybody, but teaching how to live in har- 127Balanced Meals For Family Fitness 128 mony with Divine Laws, Universal Laws on ALL planes, and as you do so, you reap what you sow, and build a state of youthful vitality. Perhaps to some people, achiev- ing such an objective would seem like a “miracle”, because they have tried so many other things without get- ting any appreciable results, and they are doubtful if anything can help them. This book is not concerned with “treating” any disease, but showing how one can enjoy and experience the MORE ABUNDANT LIFE .. . how to ADD MORE YEARS TO YOUR LIFE... and MORE LIFE to each of those years, Juices will do it, But you are not expected, of course, to live just on the raw juices T have stressed, They are to be sipped slowly between NOURISHING meals. NATURAL FOODS BUILD NORMAL BODIES. If your watch won't “go”, you know it’s useless taking out a few screws, pivots, jewels, springs or other parts from it and expect it to run efficiently. Your body cannot operate efficiently when you fail to supply daily ail the various elements it must have cach day. So you suffer. To help restore normaley, supply what your body MUST HAVE, and observe all the other lates which have proved benefi¢ial. Just filling the stomach at meal times does nof mean you are NOURISHING your billions of body cells. Can you clearly understand the difference? I mentioned else- where, and it will bear repeating—would you fill the gas tank of your car with mud, sugar, sand or sawdust, ete. and expect it to run and operate smoothly? You know you wouldn't. Yet at most meals, millions of folks are doing something about as silly, hy filling their stomachs with a mass of useless foodless foods .. . and still they wonder WHY they suffer! Automotive engineers tell you what to put into your car, vou listen, and you do it, beeause you want a car you can depend on.YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 12g But how many Food Scientists—who have made a life- time study of correct nutrition—do you listen to, and follow? Well, why not? Listen to this, from the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE, in its publi- cation, “Principles of Good Nutrition”; “Good nutrition is necessary for good health. Food helps us grow, gives us energy, helps regulate our body processes and repairs worn-out tissues. The importance of food becomes all the more impressive when we realize that the average high school student eats over half a ton of food a year. Unless this food provides all the essential elements needed by the body, illness or poor health results. If the lack of essential food elements is severe, “deficiency diseases” such as scurvy, rickets, beri-beri, goiter, pellagra or certain anemias will develop. Fortu- nately, these diseases are not as common in the United States as they were years ago. “However, many people still consume diets which are poor in essential food elements, Such diets may not be poor enough to produce one of these ‘deficiency discases’ listed above, But poor or ‘borderline’ diets are likely to result in retarded growth and the development of bad teeth, increased susceptibility to illness and a constant sense of fatigue.” From a United States Government publication, the 1959 “Yearbook of Agriculture”, we read this: “Knowl- edge of nutrition has been developed to the point where we know that the human body must get some half hun- dred different substances from food. These substances col- lectively are called nutrients, Each nutrient has a specific function, and cach is needed, although in many instances several nutrients must work closely together to perform the assigned services for the body.” The Council on Foods and Nutrition of the AMERI- CAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION states: “The desirabil- ity of meeting the nutritional needs of the people by theBalanced Meals For Family Fitness 130 use of natural foods as far as practicable is emphasized. . . .” Isnt all this official information a confirmation of exactly what I am telling you? Did you know that in today’s supermarkets there are more than EIGHT THOUSAND food items available . . . while in Abraham Lincoln's day the grocery stores had less than a hundred food items for sale! In 1962 the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare stated in their Report of the Committee on Envi- ronmental Llealth Problems: “Because of the consumer demand for convenience products, modern foods are no longer simple commodi- ties: they are compounds and blends of products, obtained from world-wide sources and subjected to multi- ple processes, which may introduce unrecognized health hazards. . All of which boils down to the fact'that, to assure the best nutrition, you are far better off by using natural foods, The meals should be prepared, our Government says, from these SEVEN BASIC FOOD GROUPS: 1. Leafy, green and yellow vegetables. 2. Citrus fruit, tomatoes and raw cabbage. 3, Potatoes and other vegetables and fruits. 4. Dairy products, skim milk, buttermilk, powdered dry milk, cottage cheese, other varieties of cheese. 5, Poultry, fish, meat, eggs, dried peas and beans. 6. Whole grain bread, flour, cereals, rye (or pumper- nickel bread ), 7. Butter and natural fats ... such as avocado, peanut oil, or vegetable oils. Among the leafy, green and yellow vegetables arc: Asparagus Chard Beans, snap, green Collards Beans, lima Endive, green Broccoli : Escarole Cabbage KaleYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND!

Eat as many as practical raw, Cook the other foods the waterlessYOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 133 way to retain the living enzymes, natural vitamins and minerals. Sit up straight at the dining table, both fcet firmly on the floor, Eat SLOWLY, Chew all food THOROUGHLY. Avoid eating on the run, NEVER TAKE ANOTILER MOUTHFUL OF FOOD UNTIL THE PREVIOUS MOUTHFUL IS FULLY CHEWED AND COM- PLETELY SWALLOWED. The closer you keep to confining your choice of foods from among each of the seven groups the Government urges as listed above, the better you will be. NOTE: Today's supermarkets and grocery stores are loaded with hundreds of various so-called foods, but you will see that your Government does not include them, as among their recommendations for you to cat; and for your own sake they are better completely avoided. Have some respect and consideration for your stomach. It can’t convert trash into a long-lived, healthy human being! A VITAL NOTE FOR TITE BUSINESSMAN: While it is true that foods (natural foods) are the best medicine, there are many other foods which can kill. You especially have to learn to use discretion in the choice of what vou eat. For instance, many business and professional men and sales executives enjoy eating with their friends in high- class restaurants, both for social and business reasons. They usually have a set pattern: a few liquor cocktails before the meal, then an expensive dinner, including far too much meat, followed by ice cream, coffee, some more liquor, beer or wine, followed by cigars This type of meal is far too much for a normal stomach to hold. They are popular because they can usually be charged off as business expenses and signed for, using the various credit cards. While they may seem nice during theBalanced Meals For Family Fitness 134 time they are eaten, and feel solidly satisfying, such meals are often the cause of heart failure or serious kidney trou- ble, With the many conventions, banquets, sales meetings, lodge and club mectings, plus private business confer- ences (which involve such cating and drinking day after day), it is no wonder so many men are dropping dead in their prime. It’s impossible to continue this routine with- out suffering before verv long. Tf the restaurants gave half as much meat, and served no white rolls or devitalized foods, and eliminated the liquor, they could charge half the priec, but none of these high-class restaurants would do it. And the guest, eager to get his money's worth for what he is charged, feels obli- gated to eat and drink all that is servetl to him. It's far too much. What should you do under the circumstances? Try to avoid attending so many of such elaborate din- ners, And now that you know the consequences, use con- stant diseretion if you must attend. Your longer life is more important than building a big bay-window. When you know you are obligated to attend such dinners, cat a simple fresh fruit salad in the earlier part of the day, and avoid the big breakfast and big lunch. To add to the dilemma, after the dinner, you usually sit doubled up in a car or taxi for a considerable drive, anc often continue with the business conference afterward. What you should do is take a walk first, and then make the time for a good bowel elimination, before any such conference. In Miami Beach, scores of hotels and motels encourage these conventions, to help keep their rooms filled as often as prictical: and Company Sales Managers frequently put on Sales Mectings and Contests, rewarding their best sales producers with several days at popular hotels—not only in Miami Beach, Las Vegas, New York City, but in all leading cities. It's the accepted practice: but attending too many of such functions often proves life-shortening,YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 135 I repeat . . . start being GOOD to YOURSELF. Eat sensibly, Having been a feature speaker at many of such Sales Conventions—at Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, Chambers of Commerce and other civic and service club dinners—I know just what they serve. But the chefs and cooks who prepare these meals are not Food Scientists or Nutrition- ists—they serve the typical foodless foods. And those eating them have practically no knowledge of what is proper to eat... consume these foods year after year... think they are “too smart” to exercise... and end up suffering miserably one way or another, The thing to do, if you are the club president or secre- tary, is to tell the chef or cook in advance what foods you wish served to the group, and then educate the members to a wiser selection for their own benefit. Instead of pies, pastries, cakes and puddings for dessert, request some fresh fruit, such as pears, bunches of grapes, pieces of cantaloupe, watermelon, berries, peaches, or whatever else is in season. If potatoes are served, some small fresh potatoes—not the packaged, faked or powdered kind. Carrots, peas, string beans, and other vegetables should be fresh, not canned. REQUEST what you should have. It’s for the benefit of all concerned. Otherwise they will palm off on you devi- talized, useless rot—as their job is to serve the greatest number at the lowest cost. In the trade publications going to such eating places, it is pitiful to sce ads urging the chefs and cooks to use cheap, processed items—just to save money, with no consideration for the guests who eat the products. The same applies for women’s clubs, their luncheon parties. bridge clubs and church suppers. As a reader of this book, have the courage and initiative to get these needed reforms started. Lf nobody has the moral stamina to do any thing about making these improvements, we are really going to have a sick, suffering America. Over 40% of our young manhood—while supposedly at theirBalanced Meals For Family Fitness 136 peak—are regarded as UNFIT, and what shape are they going to be in ten or twenty years later, assuming they live that long? Also, at the church “pot-luck” suppers, someone should suggest the types of beneficial foods to bring, instead of all the macuroni, iced cukes, devil’s food, white rice and so much other trash. HOW ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN? So much is being said about getting an “education”: but the MOST IMPORTANT EDUCATION is learning HOW TO LIVE FOR HAPPY, TROUBLE-FREE HEALTH, During their school years, our children grow up in the malt shops, cating hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries, soda fountain drinks, and not getting the BAL- ANCED MEALS their systems require. No wonder they are UNfit. Children’s Summer Camps are other locations where necded reforms should be made in the choice of foods served the youngsters, From what I have personally observed at a number of such camps I've visited, the so-called “knowledge” of the “dieticians” in charge of the camp kitchens is pathetic. That is merely because they don't know any better. If it were pointed out to them that the persistent eating of such devitalized foodless food only gradually builds weak- ness, sickness and disease, premature old age and untimely deaths: and they were then told what they should cat (what the GOVERNMENT as well as myselt urges should he eaten), they would learn to prefer these beneficial foods. How do I know? Because during the past thirty-five years, countless thousands of young men, readers of my hundreds of mag- azine articles... ARE FOLLOWING these dietetic prin-YOUNG AI 79—AND BEYOND! 137 ciples and have built themselves into the most magnifi- cent specimens of SUPERIOR MANHOOD. THEY are LIVING, UNDENIABLE, POSITIVE PROOF of the benefits of these sensible, nourishing foods, combined with other habits of wholesome living. We are actually showing these fellows how to build fabulous physiques, strength and health—unknown half a century ago, And these men have brains as well as brawn! No less an authority than Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research, stated: “If the doctor of today does not become the dietitian of tomor- row: the dictitian of today will become the doctor of tomorrow.” It is claimed by the large food processers that their products wouldn't “keep” unless they processed them in the way they do, during the time of transportation across the continent to all the various stores and supermarkets. This problem could be solved by such companies having branch factories in many major cities—north, cast, south and west, where the products could be produced locally and sold locally. Now let's go on and discover other thrilling sourees of NEW YOUTH in an improved, scientific diet. WITAT THE 12 FOOD MINERALS ARE, AND THE FOODS RICHEST IN EACH: To attain the better nutrition that means better health and youthfulness even in advanced age, it is essential to guard against a food mineral deficieney—a constant threat to millions of families. Tt is stated that there are at least 22 chemical elements in the body; and some scientists are of the belief the body contains some of ALL the known cle- ments in infinitely small amounts, But if you get an abun- dance of the following twelve vital minerals daily—plus Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Carbon, you will beBalanced Meals For Family Fitness 138 getting the required traces of all others the body requires. These twelve food minerals are: IRON SILICON CALCIUM PHOSPHORUS SULPHUR SODIUM MAGNESIUM CHLORINE [ODINE MANGANESE POTASSIUM FLUORINE Let's look at cach one of them in turn— IRON: The MASTER chemical. It gives you strength, power, courage, confidence, magnetism, warmth, vitality. creative power and mental endurance. Iron makes men go-getters, dynamos, live-wires. The more iron a man has the greater his sexuality, as it is necessary for transmissive functions. It is absolutely necessary if you want to be able to love to the fullest capacity, to attract attention and become popular with the opposite sex. The lack of iron can bring on anemia, sleeplessness, irritability, brooding, neurasthenia and starvation. Women ery readily, crave love and sympathy when they are lacking in iron. Con- siderable iron is lost during each menstrual flow and this must be adequately replenished each month if the woman desires to remain charming, attractive, beautiful. It is dan- gerous to allow the iron in the system to run low as it results in moodiness. melancholia, depressive states of mind, lowered resistance, self pity, nervous, fussy, hysteri- cal and sensitive states.

Life cannot be produced without sulphur. Assures better bowel action, the smooth and normal growth of the generative substances. Its lack means impotence, weak, dull brain, poor blood, unsteady nerves and dull, lustreless hair.

HOW TO MAKE MY DELICIOUS, NOURISHING “ZESTANA” FOOD-DRINK Into a Blender pour a little skim milk, and while the machine is running, add a couple of tablespoons of plain malted milk, a eut-up banana, drop in an egg yolk, a tablespoon of honey... then add either hot SKIM milk or powdered non-fat dry milk powder and hot water. Pour into cups and serve.Balanced Meals For Family Fitness 144 HOW TO MAKE MY FAMOUS “NUT LOAF” AND PECANO LOAF medium-sized onion cup of shelled walnuts—OR pecans cup of sharp Cheddar cheese cups of whole wheat or rye breadcrumbs (or pack- aged Pepperidge Farm stuffing) 1 egg I can tomato soup sufficient skim milk (or powdered milk mixed with water), about 4 cup to make reasonably thick batter. peewee Put the onion, then the nuts, the cheese and finally the bread or stuffing through a meat-grinder into a Pyrex baking dish or baking pan, Add the egg, the tomato soup, mix thoroughly and add cnough milk to make a thick batter. Cut some cheese thin and cover the top of this mixture with the thin slices of cheese Bake in moderate oven, 350° -400° for about 45 minutes to an hour, till a gorgeous golden brown. Place Idaho baking potatoes in oven at the same time, one for each guest. IF oven is TOO HOT, it will crisp outside and leave the inside mushy, Check to see that the Nut Loaf is prop- erly cooked to perfection. Makes a delicious Sunday dinner. Can be served with raw vegetable salad, then with French-cut string beans, or peas, broccoli, with the baked potato. For dessert... an apple or pear, or grapes. a picce of melon makes a glad farewell to a simptuous meal. All the World’s GREATEST CHAMPION MUSCU- LAR MARVELS who have lived and trained at my home have raved about this tasty Nut Loaf, and they always ask for “sceonds” and “thirds” as they like it so much.YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 145 Tve been making and serving this to my family and friends over the past filty years, and it’s always enjoyed. You try it. IF it does not come out properly the first time—try it again, till you get it just right... because it’s delicious, Keep these recipes handy and serve them from time to time, BALANCED SANDWICH SUGGESTIONS, TASTY AND NUTRITIOUS In making these sandwiches, try using pumpernickel or onion rve bread UNCUT direct from the bakery, Jewish and Italian bakeries know how to make these good breads, uncut. Then with a sharp bread-knife, cut the bread WAFER- THIN yourself, butter them nicely with butter that is spreadable, not too hard. The sliced, buttered bread is now ready to make into delicious-tasting sandwiches. If they are made for use sev- eral hours later, such as at breakfast time for lunch time use—it's a good plan to use lettuce or celery as they help keep the sandwiches from getting too dry. Then they should be wrapped in waxed paper, marking them to indi- cate their contents. Use for sandwich ingredients such combinations as these: —Pitted dates stuffed with cream cheese, lettuce and mayonnaise. —Chopped apple, chopped celery and chopped walnuts with lettuce and mayonnaise. —Raw peanut butter and honey . . . with celery and Ict- tuce. —Chopped ripe olives, chopped celery and mayonnaise. Raisins, cottage or cream cheese, chopped raw nuts and mayonnaise and lettuce.Balanced Meals For Family Fitness 146 —Avocvado, chopped onions, slices of cucumber, mayon- naise and lettuce, —Green peppers chopped fine, lettuce, mayonnaise, chopped stuffed olives. —Tuna fish, sardines or salmon, with chopped celery, lettuce and tomato, —Chopped figs, pitted dates chopped, cream cheese, lettuce and tomato, with mayonnaise, —Vegex mixed with cream cheese and lettuce. —Grated carrots with raisins and cream cheese, with lettuce and chopped celery. —Chopped olives, lettuce and Thousand Island dress- ing. —Red bell pepper chopped with chopped olives, chopped celery and lettuce, —Chopped apple, raisins, chopped almonds, with honey and lettuce. —Chopped chicken liver with chopped onion, celery, chopped olives, mayonnaise and lettuce. Instead of cutting the slices of the sandwich in half, cut them into quarters, as they are much easier to pick up and handle. Try also whole wheat bread, toasted. SOUPS With so many canned soups available in every grocery store, home-made soup has become almost a lost art, In Grandma's time, when every kitchen had the old style stove or coal range, practically everyone had a stock-pot simmering on it. It takes an expert cook to make reully delicious soups; and in the great kitchens of the leading hotels, the soup-maker holds a top office position, But the recipes Fve given you here, if you make and serve these benefi- cial soups often, will make you really appreciated in your home, Perhaps you heard of the story of General Smedly D.YOUNG AT 73—AND BEYOND! 147 Butler, who was always careful of the welfare of his men, when in France met two soldiers carrying a large soup- kettle from the kitchen. “Let me taste that,” he ordered. “But, Gen . “Don’t give me any buts—give me a spoon.” The General took a taste. “You don’t call that stuff soup, do you?” he shouted angrily. “No, sir!” replied the soldier, “That's what I was trying to tell you—it's clishwater, sir!” So many flavorless soups do taste like dishwater, but not those I give here! I sclected these soups as being not only the most popular but to serve a two-fold purpose—to arouse and stimulate the appetite, and to supply real nourishment. There are three main groups of soups: thin, clear soups, such as the consommé bouillon, broth, julienne, thin chicken soup, and also the fruit soups. Then there are the thin, light creamed soups, such as creamed tomato soup, pea, asparagus, celery and other. There are also the thick, heavy soups. chowders, pepper pot, Scotch broth, fish soups, vegetable: soups and mulligatawny. In the summer or hot weather some folks enjoy the jellied soups. I do not consider the main meal of my day complete unless T have some type of appetizing, delicious soup. Both the Italians and French nations are famous for the wonderful soups they serve. The minestrone soup of the Italians, a heavy, thick soup enriched with gabenza beans and a variety of vegetables, with grated cheese added, is a complete and satisfying meal in itself . . . especially wel- come by those eager to put on weight and desirous of building up, or after a hard day's work in the outdoors when you return home cold and hungry. For those wishing to reduce excess fatty tissue, the thin type soups, low in culories, can be enjoyed, and eating such soups replaces the eating of fat-forming foods.Balanced Meals For Family Fitness 148 The secret of soup making is proper preparation, adding the right ingredients and the flavorful herbs to give cach soup a distinctive taste the family will rave about.
