Excerpt from A Natural Method of Physical Training: Making Muscle and Reducing Flesh Without Dieting or Apparatus
Method of Physical Training, instead of using the indefinite A In the pages that follow an effort has been made to outline a plan of conduct for bodily development that is not dependent on any appliances whatever, that will build up the frame of the slender and reduce the unwelcome proportions of the cor pulent without the employment of machinery or harsh and weakening methods of dieting. The author fears that he may not always have been able to connect in each chapter all that he had to say upon each point covered, and thus feels that those who wish to follow the system from these pages' should carefully read the whole book, observing the emphasis upon seemingly minor matters.

Excerpt from Checkley's Natural Method of Physical Training
No man ever was a better exemplification of the value of his own teaching than Edwin Checkley.
Dying of an accident at the age of 75, the resident physician in the hospital that treated him, denied that he could possibly be that age. "His body is that of a vigorous man of fifty" was the verdict of this doctor. Not knowing Checkley's history and life-work he was unable to understand how a man nearing eighty could be possessed of such a wondrous physique and such terrific strength.
The writer had an interview with Mr. Checkley a few days before his death.
After suffering from a fatal dose of gas poisoning which had overcome even his wonderful lungs, his physique was as impressive as at any time in the last 30 years.
Particularly noticeable was his marvelous chest, which sprang forward from the base of the neck in a swelling curve.
