The Virile Powers Of Superb Manhood - How Developed, How Lost: How Regained
By Bernarr A. MacFadden (Editor Of Physical Culture)
Published by Physical Culture Publishing Company: New York c1900
NOTES: Rare Early Wellness Book

" The Virile Powers of Superb Manhood by Bernarr A. Macfadden is a work of early 20th-century physical culture literature that promotes health, vitality, and masculinity through natural living. Macfadden, a pioneering figure in fitness and publishing, emphasizes the importance of exercise, diet, sexual health, and self-discipline in developing physical strength and personal confidence. He argues that modern lifestyles often weaken men, and he urges a return to practices such as regular physical training, moderation, and a closer harmony with nature to restore vigor and endurance.

The book also reflects Macfadden's characteristic blend of medical advice, moral exhortation, and personal philosophy. He presents manhood not only as a physical condition but also as a state of moral responsibility and self-mastery, linking bodily strength with mental clarity and social contribution. While many of his ideas were rooted in the health reform movements of his time and may seem outdated or controversial today, the work was influential in shaping early concepts of men's health, fitness, and the modern wellness movement."
