I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.

No, these are not Fordons, they are Volkswagons.

So, some old family books have ended up in my possession. Among them, some family Bibles, one I believe from the late 1800s, but I would have to double check. It's in pretty poor condition and is falling apart though.

However, one of the books is from 1916 called Library Of Health, by Frank Scholl. It is a list of diseases and how to prevent/cure them. I have not read its advice in full but I imagine a lot of it will kill you. As far as my googling has shown, this is a legit edition from 1916. There are later copyrights and editions from the 20s however this does not feature any of that I can see, only the 1916 copyright. From the start it lets you know you're getting 20 books in one volume, and as I can see the page count is over 1700.

It features a lot of writing, and some drawn pictures of organs and such, but BOOK XIX is a written section concerning the art of Jiu-jitsu and using it to defend yourself. With pictures.

If you don't open a thread and give the Jiu Jitsu a proper scanning so people can photoshop then by god I will hunt you down.

We've got a Brother scan/fax/printer, I can see if it'll capture the pages. The book is old (obviously) but in pretty ok condition, but because it's so thick it's a bit hard to open haha.

I made a thread in GBS, I've scanned about half of the martial arts pages, gonna work on the rest tomorrow, plus some reading of the rest of the book to see what ol' Frankie has to say about other things.
