I believe this little book would do incalculable good if placed in the
hands of boys after they have reached ten years of age.--_Wm. G. Lotze,

=A NEW BOOK=,
=The Marvels of Our Bodily Dwelling=
=BY MARY WOOD-ALLEN, M. D.=
Teaching by metaphor, parable, and allegory has been the method of many
of the wisest instructors.
No one can claim originality in comparing the body to a house, for that
comparison is as old as literature.
But the simile is still of interest to the juvenile mind, and as science
is ever making new discoveries, there is continual demand for new and
interesting works on physiology.
Dr. Wood-Allen in this new book has united scientific facts and metaphor
with the skill that would be expected from her by those acquainted with
her literary powers.
The book will be found equally valuable as a text-book, a supplementary
reader or a reference book in schools, or as a book of pleasant home
instruction. Teachers in Normal Schools will find it a most suggestive
aid in teaching physiology. As it contains the most reliable scientific
facts in regard to alcohol, tobacco, and other narcotics, it fills the
demand created by the school laws compelling the teaching of the action
of narcotics on the human body.
