Picture-Play Magazine — Advertising Section 95 A" MONG all our laws for the protection of women and children there is not one to prevent a weak, sickly, anemic man — a creature who is a man in name only — from marrying some pure, wholesome girl and making her the mother of children destined before their birth to be a source of grief and anguish to her as long as she lives. Men of America, what are you going to do about it? How are you going to protect your sisters and your daughters? How are YOU, who read this, going to protect your future wife and do your part to breed a race of strong, sturdy children that will be a credit to America, instead of poor, sickly, watery-blooded little creatures who have no chance in life, and who, when they grow up, will inevitably help to fill our insane asylums and our jails? Men of America Wake Up! It's up to YOU, to every individual one of you, to make YOURSELF fit, first of all. It's a living condition that confronts you, not an academic theory. It's a condition based on the immutable laws of heredity, which have operated ever since the world began. It's a condition recognized by every breeder of live stock, and taken advantage of to improve the qualities of the cattle, horses or dogs he raises. It's the great, inexorable Law of Nature that Like Breeds Like ; that the progeny will inherit the qualities of the sire in an intensified degree. Read those two last words again, and think — think hard. What will YOUR children be? If YOU are weak and sickly; poisoned by constipation, green with biliousness, tortured by indigestion, wracked by nervous headaches, with vitality barely sufficient to carry you through your daily work — what kind of children can you beget? Fit Yourself To Be a Father You don't want to deceive the girl, who loves ai<d trusts you and wreck her life by making her the mother of children who will cause her to curse the day she married you. You want her to bear happy, healthy, laughing children, who will grow up into strong, virile men and women, a source of joy and comfort to you both in your old age. FIT YOURSELF to beget such little ones, and at the same time to take the place among men in the world to which you are rightfully entitled. YOU CAN DO IT — there isn't any question about it — IF YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO DO IT. You can get rid of the hampering ailments that are preventing you from being quick, alert, efficient in your work and keeping you from getting a better job or higher position at bigger pay ; you can break off any evil habits that are giving you a hang-dog feeling and making you ashamed to look your fellow men and women in the face ; you can build up your flabby muscles, strengthen all your vital organs, make your blood rich and red and fill yourself with the punch and power of a REAL MAN, if you will stop "putting it off until tomorrow," take hold of yourself and go about it the right icay. Strongfortism Will Enable You To Do It Strongfortism has lifted thousands of weak, ailing, impotent, discouraged men out Of the bog of hopelessness and despair and placed them on the broad, straight road to health, happiness and prosperity. Strongfortism has restored the manhood they had destroyed and thought they had lost forever and given them renewed vitality, ambition and the power to DO THINGS in the world. Strongfortism has enabled them to beget children who will make Americans of whom both they and their country will be proud. Strongfortism will do for YOV what it has done for them.
