discipline the mind.

To parents and others we beg leave to say, that about two thirds of
the present work is devoted to a concise and practical description of
the uses of the important organs of the human body, and to show how
such information may be usefully applied, both in the preservation of
health, and the improvement of physical education. To this have been
added directions for the treatment of those accidents which are daily
occurring in the community, making it a treatise proper and profitable
for the FAMILY LIBRARY, as well as the school-room.
