With More Than Forty Full-page Illustrations and a Very Complete Index
No one is better qualified to prepare a work of this nature than Professor Nissen, and he has condensed the knowledge gained during his twenty years' experience as a teacher of physical culture and medical gymnastics into a concise, convenient, and comprehensive manual of rational home gymnastics. The unusually complete series of illustrations, all of which are reproduced from photographs, make the book of exceptional value. For the teacher of gymnastics and physical culture, the athlete, and the man or woman, boy or girl, who is sufficiently wise to see the benefits of sensible and reasonable exercise, no better guide and hand-book has been published.
"SCHOOL" might with equal truth and propriety be substituted for "HOME" in the title.
Printed in a beautiful clear type on heavy coated paper, stoutly and artistically bound in cloth. Price $1.00 postpaid.
Correspondence with regard to the examination and introduction of Nissen's "Rational Home Gymnastics" is cordially invited. Specimen pages free on application.
