"The Three Great Remedies of Nature"

Available only through this website, we are offering a handsome hardcover edition which faithfully reproduces the look of the original publication. There is also a paperback edition. Both editions include the complete text (even with all the original misspellings and errors in grammar!), fully illustrated with historical photos of Macfadden and others, including the photos that documented Macfadden's famous 7-day fast. This book exemplifies the kind of enthusiasm and brashness that made Macfadden popular and led to his conflicts with the medical establishment. It is interesting to read the theories which helped launch the natural food and exercise movement in America.

It covers fasting, the one-meal per day plan, the cold-water cure, air baths, exercising and more. The final chapter (which incidentally is not shown in the book's table of contents) lists several Macfadden treatments for common ailments.

"Fasting -- Hydropathy -- Exercise"

Read this quote from the preface...
" The great truths of Nature are here ready for you, reader.
Are you ready for them?
   Are you free from prejudice, and willing to read and reason without considering the opinions of so-called authorities? To a free and intelligent human being there is no authority for him higher than his own reasoning power.
  If you are free from the slavery of prejudice this book will give you food for thought. It will teach you that weakness is a crime—that it is the result of plain, easily avoided causes—that if your body is weak, or diseased, there is not the slightest excuse for remaining so—that health and strength of a high degree is the natural heritage of man and woman, and if this superb condition is not possessed, this book will clearly and concisely furnish the knowledge necessary to acquire it.
