This little work, as the title implies, is
not designed to supplant the physician
but to prevent Illness which makes his
visits necessary. Neither does it con-
tain list of remedies, such as is usually
found in books of medicine, as if the
human body had no individuality but all
diseases wherever found were subject
to the same treatment. 1t is a sensible.
concise work of instruction in hygiene.
and its pages impart an amount of use
full knowledge seldom found in SO small
a compass. In word it is an excellent
manual for the guidance of readers in
the best methods of preserving and en-
ioying health, and at the same time
teaches how 10 avoid sickness by careful
attention to securing healthful condi-
tons.

are many other original features. The
