Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Manual of Instruction in the Use of Dumb Bells, Indian Clubs, and Other Exercises, by Morris Bornstein, offers a fascinating glimpse into late 19th-century fitness practices.

The book emphasizes a holistic approach to physical culture, advocating for regular exercise to improve strength, agility, and overall well-being.
