A VALUABLE NFw BOoK.-The glory of the
present age is thediffusion of useful information
The appearance therefore of any new publication
that bids fair to enlighten the masses still more
fully, upon any practical subject, should he re-
garded as reasonable ground for congratulation.
1t gives us pleasure therefore to call the atten-
tion of our readers to DIR. II. V. PIERcE's forth
coming book, entitled The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser. This work will contain
about nine hundred pages, will be well bound,
illustrated with about two hundred wood cuts
and cOlOrpd plates, and sent by mail to any adj
dress for the unprecedentedly low price of Sl.50.
1t will be ready for delivery early in April. The
Author has become widely and favorably known
to the American as well as the pc ople of several
foreign nations, through his Family Medicines,
and as the founder of the Worlds Dspensary at
Buffalo, n. Y, established for the treatment of
Chronic Diseases, and now ventures to appear in
the new role of authorship. From a pcrusal of
advance pages. We believe the book is calculated
to be emineutly useful. 1t embraces a wide
range of subjects, all of them bearing with more
or less directness upon the all-important ques-
tion of health. Biology, Physiology, the Cere-
bral Functions, the Human Temperaments, and
Hygienic Treatment, or Nursing of the sick, re-
ceive that attention which their relative impOr-
tance demands. Physical and Mental Culture,
Ventilation, Sleep, Cleanliness Food, Beverages
and Clothing are practical topics and arc treated
in practical manner. The use of Water as
Remedial Agent receives that attention which it
deserves. Under the head of Remedies for Disc
ases is presented a list of our most useful inl-
genous medical plants, together with their pro-
perties and uses, and pictorial representations of
many Of the most important. The appropriate
dose of each remedy is also given. After suita-
BILE introduction, We have in Part Fourth, Dis
eases and their Remedial Treatment. Almost
every disorder that preys upon the human sys-
TEN is here described, together with its symp-
toms, causes and treatment as far asst is thought
safe and advisable for the non-professional to
prescribe. Chronic ailments receive special at
tentiOn. chapter on Accidents and Emergen-
cies is a very useful feature of the book Besides
this, much miscellaneous and profitable informa-
tion is given, which will make it genuine "vade
mecun"-a convenient companion IN every
household. Many precious life has been lost
from the lack of just the knowledge which this
work imparts. A healthy moral sentiment per
vades the whole work, and we cordially commend
it rs worthy of place in every family.
