=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.

TESTIMONIALS.

A charming book.--_Frances Willard._

Only a scientific person can understand how really good it is. It has
been to me intensely interesting, and I hope sincerely that the world at
large will appreciate it.--_J. M. W. Kitchen, M. D._

It gives me pleasure to note that the book, both by its subject-matter
and its pleasing form of presentation, is well adapted to the use for
which it is intended.--_B. A. Hinsdale, Professor of the Science and Art
of Teaching, University of Michigan._

I find here, wrought out in attractive form, some of the most important
knowledge that our young people ought to know. It is suitable for a
supplementary reader in the upper grammar grades of the public schools.
Part Second particularly is of the highest value to the boys and girls
in our grammar and high schools.--_W. S. Perry, Principal of High
School, Ann Arbor, Mich._

This excellent work ought to be, not only read, but studied by every one
in and out of our schools who is interested in preserving the integrity
of our bodily and mental functions. The author's method would make
knowledge invigorate and mature the judgment and not burden the memory,
and this is the germinal idea in all sound education.--_Geo. E. Sey
