"Under the pseudonym Edmund Shaftesbury, Edgerly was a prolific author of self-help and utopian religious texts, producing over 100 books, most of them "official" books to buy as a member of the Ralston Health Club. A recent critique described the books as "chock-full of racist rants, naive pseudoscience, and curmudgeonly attacks on modern society." He also dabbled unsuccessfully in real-estate speculation and the theater, and invented a language called "Adam-Man Tongue" that was "nothing more than a bizarre-looking version of English."

"Universal Magnetism; A Private Training Course in the Magnetic Control of Others" is a comprehensive study of the unseen forces that govern human interaction and personal influence. Authored by the prolific Edmund Shaftesbury, this work serves as an instructional guide for individuals seeking to harness their latent mental and physical energies to command respect and influence the behavior of those around them. Volume two of this course delves deeper into the practical application of magnetic principles, offering readers exercises and techniques designed to strengthen the human will and project a powerful presence. Exploring the intersection of psychology, biology, and mysticism, the book posits that every individual possesses a "magnetic" aura that can be cultivated through discipline and specific training. Shaftesbury provides a structured approach to mastering one's internal state, focusing on the mechanics of personal attraction and the subtle art of non-verbal persuasion. This work is a significant piece of early twentieth-century self-improvement literature, reflecting the era's fascination with the potential of the human mind to shape external reality.Whether viewed as a historical curiosity or a manual for self-mastery, "Universal Magnetism" offers a fascinating glimpse into the methodologies of mental control and social dominance that captivated the public imagination during the Ralstonism movement.…

No dust jacket. The brainchild of Webster Edgerly (1852-1926), Ralstonism was a social movement in 19th century in the U.S. which some think numbered as many as 800,000 followers. Beginning as the Ralston Health Club, which published Edgerly's writings, Ralstonism was an hierarchical organization where members were ranked according to the number of "degrees" they had, which ranged from 0 to 100. Members advanced five degrees at a time, and each Ralston book that a member purchased counted as five degrees. According to Edgerly, the letters for the word RALSTON came from Regime, Activity, Light, Strength, Temperation, (sic) Oxygen and Nature, though some doubt this is true. Edgerly believed his followers were the founding members of a new race, based on Caucasians, and free from "impurities". He advocated the castration of all "anti-racial" (non-Caucasian) males at birth. Edgerly, who was sometimes called "Dr. Ralston," wrote 82 of what would today be called self-help books under the pseudonym "Edmund Shaftesbury". They covered subjects including diet, exercise, punctuation, sexual magnetism, artistic deep breathing, facial expressions and even ventriloquism! In 1900 Edgerly joined forces with the founder of Purina Food Company, which took the name Ralston Purina Company, which made whole wheat cereal that Ralstonites were to consume. The book offered here is the foundational work of Ralstonism.…
