The “Hand Book of Health; or a brief treatise on Physiology and Hygiene, comprising practical instruction on the structure and functions of the human system, and rules for the preservation of health.” This work is now ready. It is not a book on the treatment of disease, but on the more important and fundamental subject of the structure and functions of the human system, and how to preserve health. A person well instructed in these respects will then understand the causes of many diseases, and be able successfully to manage them. The work is a most important one. It is written in the form of questions and answers, in a plain and easy style, adapted to the use of the common people, and especially to the instruction of children by parents, guardians, and teachers. All, old and young, should have the work, and become familiar with its contents. Especially should it be the first study of the young. The work has the following endorsement from the Health Reform Institute: “Having carefully examined the manuscript of this work, I can cheerfully recommend it to the confidence of the public as being well adapted to the wants of the common people, and in accordance with the recognized principles of physiology, and of hygienic medication. It should be in every family, and read and studied by old and young. The chapter on the ‘Nervous System’ in my opinion is worth more than the price of the book.
