The House We Live In

Not the house of wood, brick, or stone that we may chance to be living in, but a story about the human body house.

Did you ever stop to think that your body is constructed something like a house? that it has a frame; is partitioned off into rooms or apartments; has walls, windows, halls, a kitchen, eating-room, bath, music-room, heating plant, pumping engine, telephone, servants, etc.?

Mrs. E. W. Farnsworth has discovered a great many interesting comparisons like these, and in telling us about them gives many valuable hints on the physiology of the body, and the best material to use in making it grow up strong, and keeping the various parts in good repair. She also tells us about the cruel thieves and murderers that often break in to steal and destroy, so that we may keep good locks on our doors and windows to protect us.

All the children will want to read this book anyway, and maybe some of the older ones. It contains 200 pages, with pictures on every page. Price in cloth, 75 cents.
