The Aristocracy of Health

In this thought-provoking work, Mary Foote Henderson argues that physical culture should be viewed as a form of aristocracy, with those who pursue it holding a higher status than those who do not. She also examines the ways in which our favorite poisons - such as alcohol and tobacco - undermine our health and wellbeing, and proposes the creation of a national and international league dedicated to promoting physical culture and combating these harmful influences.
