Ralston Gardens of Life: A Study of Health and the Best Way of Living

- Used

- Hardcover
- first
1900 Ralston Health Club first edition. 528 pages with numerous illustrations. Uncommon, to the point of being scarce, as an original edition.
Where to start! Webster Edgerly (1852 – 1926) was an entrepreneur in the best and worst senses of the word. Among his many ventures, he opened a number of "Ralston Health Clubs", and claimed to have over 11 million followers.
He did write a lot of books, and achieved some degree of fame. And his dietary advocacy for whole grain cereal led to a joint venture with the Purina Mills, and the re-branding of that company as Ralston Purina.
That said, he was still pretty much an eccentric nutjob.
This particular tome focuses more on his ideas concerning human biology, diet, and their relationship to maintaining optimal health. I just skimmed the book, which is mostly misguided advice on health (Humans need to intake "glame", though it is never explained what "glame" is).
Condition of the book is Good. The binding is straight and sound. Inside pages are complete, with occasional light soil. Condition issues include (see photos):
1) Wear to the boards
2) A bookplate is affixed to the front pastedown
3) The hinge is cracked but firm at the back endpapers
