This is a slim little book (Christian Health Science [Flynn Vital Center System of Health Culture] vs. Christian Science“, Call no. RA776 .F65) by W. Earl Flynn, copyright 1907, which was written to instruct the reader on living a long and healthful life. It’s certainly an interesting primary source for early 20th century health trends, but it’s also kind of a hoot to see the photos of physical culture exercises, performed in laced leather shoes, knee breeches, and a tie. Yes, a tie. A sports tie.
Enjoy!
