PREFACE.

Strength! How we all yearn for this grand power!

No matter how much strength may be possessed one always desires more. It is like money. You can never secure enough. No matter what may be your desires or ambitions; no matter what may be your occupation, strength is an actual necessity in order to accomplish anything of value in life.

From as far back as history dates the tendency of humanity to worship strength is noted. This inclination has not decreased to any extent even to-day. We all love and admire strength. Our heroes are all strong. We like to imagine them with all the vigor and beauty of body which every perfect human being should possess.
