SPALDING IMPROVED MEDICINE BALLS
An excellent form of exercise for business men
Weigh from four to eleven pounds. The covering is of selected tan leather, sewn in the same manner as our foot balls. Quality throughout has been much improved and the balls as now made are extremely durable. The exercise consists of throwing ball to one another, and the catching of it develops the chest, exercises the back, arms, legs; in fact, improves the whole system.

“One of the aims of physical training is to make exercise interesting and enjoyable. To be beneficial in the highest sense it must be recreative. Particularly is this true of physical exercise for business men. As a class, in their daily work, they are kept on a constant mental strain. Besides, they are, to a large degree, physically inactive. Life becomes too intense, too serious, too sordid. Exercise therefore, for business men, must be largely recreative, relaxing and restful.”—_Extract from Spalding Athletic Library, No. 262—“Exercises with the Medicine Ball.”_
SPALDING HAND BALLS
=Hand ball, played indoors, will keep base ball players and other athletes in good condition during hard weather when outdoor athletics are out of the question.=

Sandow’s Patent Spring Grip Dumb Bells

A. G. SPALDING & BROS.
SOLE AMERICAN AND CANADIAN LICENSEES
An entire system of Physical Culture is embraced within the exercises possible with these wonderful dumb bells.
The bells are made in two halves connected by steel springs, the effort necessary in gripping compelling the pupil to continually devote his whole mind to each movement. This concentration of will power on each muscle involved is what is responsible for the great results obtained through properly exercising with them.

No. =6=. =MEN’S.= Nickel-plated; fitted with seven steel springs. Per pair, =$3.00= No. =4=. =LADIES’.= Nickel-plated; fitted with five steel springs. Per pair, =$2.50= No. =2=. =BOYS’.= Nickel-plated; fitted with four steel springs. Per pair, =$2.00=

We include with each pair of Sandow Dumb Bells a chart of exercises by Sandow and full instructions for using. Also a piece of selvyt cloth for keeping dumb bells in good condition.
Home Apparatus
“It is not so important to have big muscles as it is to have good digestion; it is not so important to have powerful muscles as it is to have a strong, regular heart; it is not so important to have great skill with one’s muscles as to have good lungs and kidneys.”—_Extract from Spalding Athletic Library No. 161—“Ten Minutes Exercise for Busy Men.”_
The value of a few minutes’ exercise daily with scientific and properly designed apparatus, is rapidly becoming apparent to the vast number of business men who find it simply impossible to take regular outdoor exercise.

Home Apparatus
“If a Man gets plenty of food, and his digestive apparatus works it up into good rich blood; if the heart is strong and regular so that this good blood goes to all parts of the body with vigor and regularity, and if the respiratory and excretory apparatus is in such good order that this blood is kept pure, the fundamental conditions of health are laid.”—_“Extracts from Spalding Athletic Library No. 161.”—“Ten Minutes’ Exercise for Busy Men.”_
Rational exercise with simple but correct apparatus will enable almost any man to arrive at approximately a correct state of health.

Spalding Home Apparatus
Exercise acts on the health of an individual in the same way as the draught does on the fire in a furnace. Pile on the coal and shut off the draught and you kill the fire. Continue to eat heavy meals and take no exercise and your health will be affected, not because of the food you have eaten so much as on account of the lack of exercise. A little exercise is all that is necessary to keep you in good condition. Some rational, pleasant and interesting exercise, persisted in with regularity and, preferably, with Spalding Home Apparatus, will help you to retain your health.

Weights are 5–pound iron dumb-bells, one to each carriage, and may be removed and used as dumb bells. Wall and floor boards are hard wood, nicely finished and stained. All castings heavily japanned.

The Laflin Friction Rowing Machine
Do not use oil on friction cylinder. If its action is not perfectly smooth a little clear soap rubbed on its surface will properly correct its action. The means used to produce the resistance is a simple friction clutch, which takes instant hold at the commencement of the stroke and retains the pressure till its completion, when it instantly releases it precisely as in a boat. Quickly taken apart without loosening any bolts or screws. Each machine is adjustable to any amount of friction or resistance.

Home Apparatus
The apparatus listed in this catalogue is designed particularly for private use; i. e., in homes and private gymnasiums. It retains the same superior marks of quality which distinguish the regular line of gymnasium apparatus manufactured by A. G. Spalding & Bros., but its distinctive design permits it to be sold at a price more in keeping with its use than heretofore obtainable, without any sacrifice of practical value or durability.
