A New Work.

By John Norton Loughborough

Physiology and Hygiene.

Under the criticisms of the Physicians of the Western Health-Reform Institute I am preparing a work with the above title of one hundred sixty pages, the same sized page as of such works as History of the Sabbath, &c., issued from the Review Office. This work will contain some fifteen or twenty illustrations of different parts of the human system, with descriptions accompanying. It will be written in the form of questions and answers, in a style sufficiently simple to be comprehended by children, yet replete with instruction and practical hints to all on the great subject of how we are made, and how to care properly for our bodies. As I am not an M. D., I would say that this work will be drawn mainly from such works as Dr. Trall's Cyclopædia, Graham's Science of Human Life, Mrs. Taylor's “Know Thyself,” Lambert's Physiology, Hitchcock's, Wilson's, Cutter's, Nichol's, &c.

Most of these works are too voluminous and expensive for many to purchase or peruse. We therefore design to collect from them, and arrange that which we deem to be of the most practical benefit to the reader. We are now engaged in writing this work, which will probably be placed in the hands of the printers the first of January 1867, and be issued as soon thereafter as may be.

The object of this notice is to solicit subscriptions to the work, to enable us to purchase paper, stereotype plates of illustrations, covers, &c. Those wishing the work would undoubtedly be willing to advance the means immediately to enable us to proceed in this matter without delay. We design to issue the work in three forms: paper cover, flexible cloth binding, and full muslin binding. The prices by mail postpaid will be,

Paper cover, 40cts. Flexible cloth, 50cts. Full muslin binding, 75cts.

Please send in your orders immediately, accompanied with the cash, addressed to Eld. James White, Battle Creek, Mich., and as soon as the book is issued you will be notified and your books mailed to you. In sending, please specify which style of binding you prefer, whether paper, flexible cloth, or full muslin.
