"Tgc FOUR GOLDEN RULIS OP HEALTH "—Here is
thoroughly practical, common-sense little hook, written
in an easy and familiar style by a lady, and principally for
her own sex, although men may be instructed by a rapid
glance through its peges. Mrs. Brading lays down the
" F or Golden Rules of Health," in • style so mum to be
underil sod that the most cursory perusal would sulfite to
reveal what they are, while her ,titements are st
supported by science, that they will bear dose examine,
non. The experieuse of the lady herself is thus given :
" I have practically proved their truth, during the long
period of 40 years, during which I have had unfailing
health. I began with so weak a constitution that I was
given over by several doctors, ma I come of a family so
given to consumption that ten died of it in five years."
We are not going to pick out the kernel of the book by
revealing the four roles; but they are thoroughly sornd,
and there ii no quackery shout them. The pamphlet is
neatly printed by Mr. Wheeler, and those in fear of
eautumption or any other disease will do well to invest
Si. in the purchase of a copy; while those who ono,
