Physical Culture (US)

Country: US

The foundation stone of MacFadden's sleazy publishing empire. Although a popular health-and-fitness magazine (much condemned by serious medical journals), it published a surprising amount of fiction -- to such an extent that "in the early thirties, it aped the general monthlies and ran fiction by popular authors like Warwick Deeping and Harold Bell Wright" (Theodore Peterson, Magazines in the Twentieth Century).
