How to Build Muscle

(Continued from page 45) second most essential growth element. also high in valine and leucine. Gelatin has absolutely no Tryptophan, has less than a tenth of 1 per cent of Cystine, less than 1 per cent of Methonine, or one-fourth as much as human muscle. Human muscle is made up of 51.1 essential amino acids, gelatin 25.2 per cent and egg albumen 58.9. While gelatin is 87% protein, most of it is made up of non-essential aminos which the body can readily make up for itself from the food which is consumed. Essential aminos must be obtained directly from food, the body cannot construct them from food materials on hand, and a rule. of nutrition is that if just one essential amino is missing from a food, that food cannot be used by the body, unless that amino is supplied by a complete protein such as Hoffman's Hi-Proteen.

We have nothing against gelatin, the facts we are offering are only to illustrate that because a product is especially high in protein, it is not necessarily a food of great value to the body. If it is loaded with gelatin, it is poorly balanced to begin, and not able to carry even itself, as we wrote before. When single bills ran into many thousands of dollars for supplies of Egg Albumen, we were tempted at times to cut down the amount we used and thus make important savings. But we are sincerely and honestly trying to produce the finest high protein products, and our prod-

ucts have established an outstanding reputation, so we decided not to change any of the formulas even a little bit to save a few thousand dollars. We guarantee that Super Hi-Proteen contains 25% or more high priced egg albumen, and we guarantee that Gain Weight Hi-Proteen which contains a number of proteins not found in the super, notably peanut flour, cotton seed protein and wheat germ, plus the token amount of gelatin, contains at least 15% egg al-

bumen.

It takes all kinds of people to make a world. Some have bodies like the fertile field, plant the seed and it grows into a generous crop. Some are like the barren field which requires so much culti-

vation and adding of organic or mineral fertilizers before it produces even a reasonable crop. Some bodies respond to physical training rapidly and tremendously. Yet there are some like Jerry Dunn, a chief petty officer in the U. S. Navy, who had trained for years and consumed what he considered to be a good diet, he lived at home and his wife was a good cook, yet he weighed 148 pounds at his height of 6 feet. With one cannister of Super Hi-Proteen he gained 12 pounds. We published this testimonial in the past, and Jerry is still growing, approaching the 200 pounds he long desired to weigh. This well illustrates that Super Hi-Proteen supplied the elements that Jerry Dunn

STRENGTH AND HEALTH

was unable to obtain from his usual diet. The testimonial letters we obtain from users of Hoffman's Gain Weight Hi-Proteen border on the fantastic. Even an outstanding physical specimen like coverman Joe Lazzaro of Ken Stoller's club in Buffalo, young, superhealthy, gained 7 pounds of additional muscle from a single cannister of Gain Weight Hi-Proteen. The average gain is ten pounds of solid, powerful, shapely muscles from ten dollars worth (4) pounds of Gain Weight Hi-Proteen).

Yet we know there will be some few that may fail to gain all the strength and muscle they want from even these superior products. We know our business, started to study exercise and nutrition when we were ten years old, have continued to study ever since, so for nearly fifty years we have been learning. We have tried to supply all the elements the body needs for growth, of strength and muscle in Super Hi Proteen and Gain Weight Hi Proteen, but we know that some people who have been underweight for many years, will have a difficult time obtaining enough of the elements their bodies have long lacked. For quite a few years the Hoffman Vitamin Mineral Table that been helping the readers of this magazine. It is a very popular and result-producing product, and now we have another product which should class as a Body Building Vitamin. Most doctors agree that the superior growth factor is vitamin B 12. Super Hi Proteen and Gain Weight Hi Proteen are food products and contain only the vitamins and minerals which are found naturally in the superior products of which they are made. Soya powder has ten times as much iron as milk, the products we are using contain a certain amount of Vitamin B 12, but a long time can be required for those who have experienced deficit in iron. and vitamin B 12 to obtain enough of these essential products. Therefore, we are offering a new Body Building Vitamin. It is designed for those who have long had trouble in gaining weight, it can be used in conjunction with one of the food Hi-Proteens, Super or Gain Weight, and should hasten the weight gaining process. Although it contains. other minerals and vitamins, as all good combination vitamin tablets should, its main constituents are Liver Iron and Vitamin B 12. No growth is possible without sufficient iron in the body. It carries the oxygen to the cells through the bloodstream which causes the cells to operate with efficiency in delivering power and in building the body.

The new Weight Gaining Vitamin Tablets are packed 200 to a bottle, priced at five dollars, 3 to 6 should be taken daily depending upon your size, activity and you need. This bottle of Liver Iron and Vitamin B 12 is a normal 2-months supply. Taken in conjunction with the food proteins it should assure the added muscular pounds of bodyweight you desire.

This article has been getting long, there is so much about nutrition and protein I would like to talk about, but space does run out. It was my intention at the beginning to illustrate just row well balanced Hi-Proteen is, to show how much more essential Aminos. it has than human muscle, and for that reason how it can aid those who have been trying to live on inadequate or unbalanced diets. Save this issue with the chart, it is invaluable.
