“TALKS WITH MY STUDENTS,” by Prof. Frederick Griggs, is a book every young person ought to read. It contains the practical points of Professor Griggs’s heart-to-heart chapel talks to his students upon such practical subjects as Adaptability, Being Enthusiastic, Learning to Wait, The Value of Minutes, Our Conversation, Economy, Promptness, Manners, Young Associations, Love of the Beautiful, etc.
These talks were given to meet circumstances in the actual experience of the students, and proved to be of much value to them in character building and the preparation for successful life. They will prove the same to any young person who will read them, for this series of talks reveals in a practical manner the qualifications necessary for happiness and true success in all walks of life.
Paper covers, 25 cents; cloth covers, 40 cents. Sold by all State tract societies.

OUR REVIEW readers will doubtless be pleased to know that Life and Health continues to interest the public, even through the hot season. It was expected there would be a decline in the demand for the journal during the months of June, July, and August; but the calls for it during these months have been greater than during any other three months of the present year. As early as July 6 that month’s edition was entirely out; and on the first day of August there were only fifteen hundred copies of an extra large edition of that month’s number remaining in stock. The September edition will be still larger, and will be ready for delivery early in the present month.

As an illustration of how some of our Life and Health agents are succeeding in their work, we quote the following from a letter just received:—
“The cook-book, ‘A Friend in the Kitchen,’ continues to work well with Life and Health. Out of fourteen calls, I took thirteen orders for the book and thirteen subscriptions for the journal, from as many delighted patrons. With one or two exceptions all the wealthiest and cultured people of this community have subscribed for the journal and taken the cook-book; and I have not finished yet.
“WELLINGTON FROST.”

It is with a desire that parents shall become the teachers of their own children with reference to the most important functions of the body that we call attention to the notices on this page of the books entitled “Almost a Man,” “Almost a Woman,” and “Teaching Truth.”
  • *
“ALMOST A MAN” is a book containing a doctor’s talk to boys, revealing the grandeurs of the development of life in plants, in animals, and in the human body, also the beauties and possibilities of the home of parents and of children. This volume teaches the boy to know himself.
Every boy will sooner or later be “almost a man.” Shall he become a man with all the loving traits and noble characteristics with which the Creator intended that he should be endowed? or shall he be of that class whose thoughts have been poisoned by the darts of the enemy, and whose intellect can not appreciate the beauties of nature and of the true manhood which God desires to be cultivated in every soul? All parents ought to provide “Almost a Man” for their boys.
Price, post-paid, 50 cents.

“ALMOST A WOMAN” deals with the sacred duties of a mother to her daughter. With greater interest does the parent look upon the daughter who has become almost a woman, than upon a son. As the beauties of her childhood burst into full bloom, the results of her education during those early years become apparent. As the training and education have been, so will be her life.
Dr. Mary Wood-Allen is a woman of extended experience, and knows how to talk to mothers relative to their daughters; and we recommend her book, “Almost a Woman,” to every mother.
Price, post-paid, 50 cents.

“TEACHING TRUTH” is the title of a little book by Dr. Mary Wood-Allen, composed of talks and advice to mothers with reference to unfolding to their children the truths with reference to their bodies and of the origin of life. The queries which arise in the minds of the young must be answered. If not instructed by the parents, answers to their queries will be given to them from other sources, often with undesirable results. How and when to teach this and other kindred important subjects is the object of this book. It can not fail to be of practical help to all parents.
Price, post-paid, 50 cents.
