MARTIAL.
WOOD-ALLEN, M. (S.).
The Man Wonderful, or The Marvels of Our Bodily Dwelling.
Educational. 1.00
The author in this volume has united metaphor with scientific
facts.... She has laid under contribution the latest scientific
authorities, and believes that this book will be found abreast of
the science of to-day, holding ever to truth as it now presents
itself, and never sacrificing facts to the allegory.--_Preface._
Dr. Wood-Allen uses the simile of a house in explaining in a clear and
interesting manner much about our body and its functions. Part Second
is devoted to the articles we make use of: those which are (p. 212)
beneficial, and especially those which are more or less harmful; as
tea, coffee, tobacco, and alcohol.
