HOME HAND-BOOK.

THIS book is receiving a most cordial reception from those who are best qualified to judge of its merits. Medical men of all “pathies,” and eminent men of all professions, speak in its praise.

We have been surprised to learn how vague have been the views concerning it of some who received the prospectus, and even had thought to canvass for it. Some have thought it was merely a “hydropathic book,” which would, at best, have but a limited circulation. To show the ability or standing of the author, we give the following information: He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; the American Public Health Association; the American Society of Microscopists; the Michigan State Medical Association; State Board of Health of Michigan; Editor of Good Health; Author of “Plain Facts for Old and Young;” “Diphtheria;” the “Household Manual;” “Alcoholic Poison,” and other medical works.

The “Home Hand-Book” is eclectic—not in the technical sense of a certain school, but—in the highest sense of the term. It is the most complete and comprehensive book of the kind, ever published; well illustrated by cuts and plates, with full indexes. While it is well received by the profession, being indorsed by high medical authority, it is plain and practical, well suited to the wants of the household.
