Henderson, Mary Foote. Aristocracy of health. $1.50. Harper.
The author outlines the path royal for the would-be health aristocrat,—the being who achieves strength, self-reliance, success, influence long life, and happiness. The way lies close to physical culture, abstinence from poisons, and dietetic care. The author views the subject of human degeneracy from the standpoint of different countries, and so leads up to her suggestion that a national and international league be formed for the advancement of physical culture.
“Laborious and enthusiastic volume.”
