The School of Health

“The School of Health.” A Guide to Health in the Home. By Alfred B. Olsen, M. D., and M. Ellsworth Olsen, M. A., editors of London Good Health. Cloth, beautiful back and side stamp; 402 pages. International Tract Society, Limited, 451 Holloway Road, London, N.

This is not another “doctor” book. The work contains the great simple facts of physiology, a practical home course in physical culture, instructions in simple, healthful cookery, and directions for the treatment of simple diseases in the home. It is an appeal to the reading public to come back to the simple life, and the way is indicated as clearly as it can be by the authors. Its twenty-five chapters cover the whole great field of physiology, health culture, the food problem, popular unhealthful habits, and the treatment of simple diseases by means which should be found in every home. Wise counsel is given to the effect that in all serious or doubtful cases, a skilful physician or surgeon should be called. The book contains one hundred and twenty-nine text illustrations, and eight full-page cuts, one of which is a colored plate. It is a book helpful and uplifting, and deserves a wide circulation.
