C. O. (Charles Oren) Benson

C. O. Benson, identified in library records as Charles Oren Benson (1906–1974), wrote concise health guides that were published in the late 1920s. His books include Correction of Underweight and Overweight by Exercise and Constipation and Its Correction by Exercise, both of which present exercise as an accessible way to improve daily health.

The available records suggest he wrote in a plain, practical style aimed at general readers rather than specialists. The subjects linked to his name—weight, digestion, nervousness, and indigestion—fit the popular self-improvement and wellness publishing of his era.

Biographical details about Benson himself appear to be limited in easily available sources. What can be confirmed is that his work has been preserved in public-domain and library catalogs, where he remains a small but interesting figure in early fitness and health writing.
