As the discoverer of ongin ature of the laws govern “con: scwus energy and of a scientific system for applying s inanner that has operated successfully a over two hundred thousand eases, Swoboda occupies a peculiar niche in earth’s hall of fame. He did not nerdy write a great Look, paint a great picture, invent soxe useful device, or win some particular battle. His fame is built on ‘a far more substantial foundation. of the human body. He is the apostle the successful life. Swoboda not only and women; he makes them more power: 1 happy than they were before. He a tremendous way along the line of ent.

Neither his losophy nor his science is confined to such narrow its.

He makes you feel that. you are only par: tially well, and vigorous and ambitious, only partially developed, that, in short, you are only half as alive as you must be if you wish to enjoy to the full the benefits of living,—that you are leading an inferior life. No one can ‘read his book without becoming conscious of his wonderful power and personality, Swoboda is a Man Who is Cen- turies in Advance of His Time His discovery of conscious evolution is itself of epochal importance, But its scientific and successful application is more wonderful still The feat of Franklin in drawing the electric spark from the clouds was a wonder of the time. Yet it took a hundred years to master the secret of that electric spark and harness the giant force of electricity to the uses of mankind. Swoboda not only discovered the marvelous secret and principle of Conscious Evol tion, but applies it to individuals with results that are incalculable. Swoboda might, indeed, be called a specialist for the human race. A. single electric spark is of little importance. But ensify that spark and multiply it a billionfold, and yo he heat and the dazzling lights of a great city. S$ ells, says Swoboda. Quicken one, and it makes little difference. But ene! Kize and intensify them all, and you have a“ live-wire human being. with mental and physical potency plus! the Swoboda kind of body and mind What would happen to a business man who allowed half of his workmen to idle away at their machines, not only losing their own time and effort but interfering with the producing power of the rest of the force? Yet that is exactly what the average human being docs with the workers in his physiological factory You have a most ingenious pleasure and power producing machine in your possession—the machine that means health or weakness, pleasure, happiness, success, or failure, and yet, you allow it to practically run itself or erroneously believe that when this machine is ready to completely crumble that some nhvsician possesses the magic power of restoring your health and life through the use of a drug. Far from securing health and pleasure, however, this resort to and belief in extraneous assistance. really encourages physical and mental decay, because it weakens by non-use and neglect, the body's natural resources, power and means of recuperation The Human Body is a “War Machine ”’ The commander who goes into battle with an inca- pable army is handicapped at the start. The man who goes into the battle of life with his physiological forces dar below par is foredoomed to at least partial failure. The great bulk of us are hardly drawing on our tre mendous stores of energy and vitality. We are letting our cells grow stale and sluggish. Our human machine should be running in perfect condition in order that we may get the most out of it—before we can_enjoy its full powers in complete and rounded fashion. Strengthen the vitality of these cells and you not only make the body more alive but the brain more susceptible to new ideas from without, as, well as greatly increase its own power to generate ideas. Many a man is getting a great deal of pleasure out of his mind but nothing out of his body. Ponce de Leon's fountain of youth died with him. Your fountain of youth will die with you. Each man’s fountain of youth is within himself. Through Conscious Evolution only can you drink to the fall of the fountain of youth. Swoboda demonstrates that no matter he old we may be we can ugh the conscious use of the prin- ciples of Evolution rselves full-powered dynamos, y part and wheel and power-belt thoroughly working smoothly and at maximum capacity,— too per cent. efficient If you believe you have developed to the highest degree your vitality, energy and powers of living and enjoying, you are, according to the Swoboda Standard. indeed mistaken. d you to a new and even greater of heath, energy and pleasure.

Swoboda Has Written a Won- derful Little Book This book explains the Swoboda System of Conscious Evolution and the human body as it has never been explained before. It makes clear Swoboda’s new theory of the mind and body. It startles, educates and e lightens.

It will give you a better understanding of yourself than you could obtain from a college course; the information which it imparts can not be duplicated elsewhere at any price. It shows the unlimited possibilities through conscious evolution of the cells; it explains Swoboda’s discoveries and what they are doing for thousands of men and women of every age and condition. It tells of the Dangers and after-effects of Exercise. and Conscious Deep Breathing Swoboda's book shows how any one may possess unusual health and_ vitality You will cherish this book for having given you the first real unde of your body and mind and for showing yor ou may be able to attain greater pleasure and in every way a superior life.

Stobode, 1325 Aeolian Bldg., New York ity, N.Y. ince writing the above the writer has met a man who said: “Although T have been a close student of the body and mind all my life, and am a writer on the subject, Mr. Swoboda’s book gave me a deeper conception of the body and mind than I have attained from years of study. Intellectual men and women must find his book of great interest. His theory of the body and mind was entirely new to me. and I believe that he is right.” comicbooks.com
