Persistency. These are impossible where Energy is lacking, hence Energy is the indispensable quality of great Success."
No greater truth than this was ever uttered. Were it possible to chronicle all the failures, not due to a lack of brains but to a lack of physical vitality, which is now recognized as an illness in itself, there would be a list so long as to appal the world.
Every great man of history — every highly successful man of the day — is possessed of more than an average amount of energy. Some have been gifted with this wonderful quality as were Lincoln, Napoleon, Rockefeller, Morgan and others ; and some developed it as did Gladstone and Roosevelt.
Not one of these men, as they admit themselves, could ever have attained the position they occupy were it not for this factor.
Big muscles unless accompanied by powerful nerves are as useless as a trolley car without electricity. If your nerves are weak, your every organ will be weak in exact proportion. If you are troubled with indigestion, constipation, a weak heart, weak kidneys, a torpid liver or any of the functional ills that flesh is heir to, you should look immediately to your nerves. For unless your vital organs are receiving their due share of nervous energy, they cannot possibly do their work. Advanced thinkers in the medical world as well as those who do not use drugs have sought in vain for some direct method for the strengthening of the nerves.
Exercise, Osteopathy, Deep Breathing, Chiropractic, Hydrotherapy, Electricity
and other methods without end have been advanced at one time or another, as offering an ideal means for the building of vitality or rather nervous energy which is what vitality really means.
Many of these have much to commend them, but not one can benefit the nerves except in a most roundabout and uncertain way.
It has remained for Robert Duncan to discover a method for direct nerve stimulation. By his methods he can build and create a degree of energy that you can actually feel course through your body within a few minutes, unless you are horribly run down, and even then it can be developed within a very short time.
By this method he is enabling people to absolutely overcome functional weaknesses and disorders without resorting to tortuous exercise, drugs, repulsive diets and in addition build for themselves a degree of energy that will be the determining factor in their success in life.
He tells all about this discovery in his book "Building Energy." He has agreed to send a copy to any reader of Motion Picture Magazine who will write Robert Duncan, Suite 910, Metropolitan Bldg., N. Y. Gity, enclosing 25c. for the book in stamps or coin.
Every man and woman in America should read this work and every man, woman and child should follow its precepts.
This country is coming to be known as a country of neurasthenics. You should not be one of those who is a slave to his nerves. Develop them so that you may enjoy the health and the worldly success that is your birthright.
