Will you own up that you, are not giving your body a square deal P Tf you will let me help you, I can add years of usefulness and greater efficiency to your busi- ness life. You surely are not satisfied through sedentary habits to grow a little weaker and less valuable every day. I am speaking gen- erally, because I know that nine out of ten menwho work indoors have surface muscles that areas softas dough and stomach and in- testine muscles that are growing weaker every day, With even half- proper treatment, the vital muscles can be made strong enough to improve the health, appearance, temperament, ability of any man. | Big biceps and surface muscles no more indicate health than brick walls prove that a building is fire- proof. The true test is whether or not the day’s work fags you, whether your sleep refreshes you, and whether your body will obey the desires of your mind—in other words, can you do the things you would like to do—can you set your body to work without waste of will-energy? The Thompson Course isa series of simple, natural movements, which gives greater strength, vitality and energy to the most im- portant muscles of the body—the stomach, liver, lungs, heart, and other vital organs. ‘The Thompson Course is designed to set the nerves, muscles and brain working in harmony, When these three forces are co-ordinated, laziness, nervousness, ill- temper and inability to concentrate are impossible. ‘The Thompson Course requires no apparatus, does not force you to leave off any of your regular habits —and takes but a few minutes of your daily time. Railroad presidents, and other men whose time is prob- ably worth more than either mine or yours, have given their time to my Course and have postponed their re- tirement many years on account of it, besides greatly increasing their present efficiency. Unless you are so well satisfied with your physical and mental condition as to believe yourself incapable of improvement, you will profit by reading my book, “Human Energy,” which tells all about The Thomp- son Course. i mail this book frce to any responsible person, If you will send me your name and address I will mail you a copy postpaid, with the simple stipulation that you read it as though it were written by a friend. | Take my word for it, this book is worth sending for.
