NOTES
Bennett’s 1907 book is the first published statement of his exercise system, issued in San Francisco by The E. Hilton Co. It introduced the program of muscular contractions performed while lying in bed that he would expand, five years later, into the fuller rejuvenation argument of “Old Age: Its Cause and Prevention.” The archive cites it as the origin point of the doctrine and as evidence that the system predated the 1912 book by several years.
