Sickness and death are the two evils
most dreaded by mankind, and there is
no knowledge more important than that
which teaches how to prOlOng life, to pre-
serve strength and usefulness, aud to avert
and cure disease. No man can afford to
neglect the science OF everyday life, either
for himself or those dependent upon him;
and it is with u view of rendering this in
diSpensable knowledge accessible to all
that DIR. HartShOrne Formerly Professor OF
| Hygiene in the University OF PennSyl-
vania) has prepared this volume. The re-
suit is a work which should be recognized
as indispensable to every household.
In the preliminary chapters the author
explains in clear and simple language,
construction of the body and the
duties of its organs. This is fol.
lowed by u section on hygiene, dis
cusssng 'humes''-their situation, con-
struction, light, the effect of climate upon
health, the varieties of foods and drinks
and their proper preparation, their adul-
terations, and the Use and abuse of alc0-
hOl. Following this are instructions rs to
suitable clothing, the care of the person,
the hygiene of marriage, the management
of childbirth, of infants and children, and
the attainment OF long life.
The author next discusses disease
showing the cause, nature and signs of the
different forms of sickness, the symptoms
affecting each organ, and the methods by
which one observing those symptoms may
ascertain what is the matter.
Under the heading of Remedies" in
the succeeding chapter, we tind u descrlp-
tive list of medicines and their proper
doses, and an inventory of such remedies
rs should bc found in every house. In
structions upon nursing, on the care of
childbirth, accidents, injuries and poison
ing, together with IA section on old ageand
death, and n very elaborate series of in
dexes complete this thorough and syste-
matte work.
From this very brief enumeration of the
contents of DIR. HartShOne's volume, it
will be seen how eminently it is suited to
the wants of everyday life. No head ola
family who rightly realizes the responsible
lties resting upon him can fail to recOg-
niIe the Importance of such = counsellor
ever within reach, with its stores of indis-
pensable information, 81 classified and
indeXed that whatever is needed at the
moment can be referred TO without delay.
