A work almost as wonderful as the subject of which it treats. The motive is to teach that the most beautiful, and, at the same time, the most wonderful thing in nature is man; and no one can read these chapters without feeling that the authors have accomplished their task.

The book is an allegory in which the body is the “House Beautiful,” and its inhabitant the “Man Wonderful.” The building of the house is shown from foundation to roof, and then we are taken through the different rooms, and their wonders and beauties displayed to us, and all this time we are being taught—almost without knowing it—Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene, with practical applications and suggestions.

We are then introduced to the inhabitant of the house, “The Man Wonderful,” and learn of his growth, development, and habits. We also become acquainted with the guests whom he entertains, and find that some of them are doubtful acquaintances, some bad, and some decidedly wicked, while others are very good company. Under this form we learn of food, drink, and the effects of narcotics and stimulants.

The “Foundations,” which are the bones. The “Walls” are the muscles, while the skin and hair are called the “Siding and Shingles.” The head is an “Observatory” in which are found a pair of “Telescopes,” and radiating from it are the nerves compared to a “Telegraph” and “Phonograph.” The communications are kept up with the “Kitchen,” “Dining-Room,” “Butler’s Pantry,” “Laundry,” and “Engine.” The house is heated by a “Furnace,” which is also a “Sugar Manufactory.” Nor is the house without mystery, for it contains a number of “Mysterious Chambers.” It is protected by a wonderful “Burglar Alarm,” and watched over by various “Guardians.” A pair of charming “Windows” adorn the “FaÇade,” and a “Whispering Gallery” offers a delightful labyrinth for our wanderings.

In fact, the book is more wonderful than a fairy tale, more intensely interesting than a romance, and more replete with valuable truths than any book of the present day.

The authors—husband and wife—are both regular physicians, and besides graduating in the best schools of America, spent three years under the best instructors in Vienna, Paris, and London.

They have been teachers and know what will aid both teacher and scholar, and have kept in mind the fact that many teachers will be called upon to teach these subjects who will feel the need of aids, which they will find in the questions, which are so arranged with exponents in the text that the lessons are easily comprehended.

Dr. Page has devoted much attention to the subject, both in this country and in Europe, noting the condition of children, and then making careful inquiries as to the feeding, care, etc., and this work is a special record of experience with his own child. We know this manual will be welcomed by many mothers in all parts of the land, as one of the most vital questions with parents is How to feed the baby, to promote its health, its growth, and its happiness. In addition to answering the question what to feed the baby, this volume tells how to feed the baby, which is of equal importance.

That the work may be considered worthy of a wide circulation may be seen from the following, selected from many

The value of the most of horses to their owners is measured by the amount and length of service that can be secured, and therefore all information relative to his care is very important. This book gives in a condensed form much that is valuable on the care of horses, that has not before been published. The subject is considered from a new and original stand-point, and stated in a plain, practical, common-sense manner, showing how by proper care we may add many valuable years of life and usefulness to our horses. Unlike many books issued on this subject, it does not advertise any medicines.

To a new edition just published has been added, as plates, a number of portraits of famous and thoroughbred horses, including “Jay-Eye-See,” “Parole,” “Alcantara,” “Miss Woodford,” “Estes,” etc.

It is safe to say that to every owner of a horse this book would prove most valuable. Agents Wanted, to whom Special Terms will be given. The price is only 50 cents in paper covers, or handsomely bound in extra cloth, 75 cents. By mail, post-paid. Address

In this the “Reason Why” of Hygienic Cookery is given, with tables showing the constituents of food products; the effects of different articles of food on intellect, morals, and physical development; food combinations, or what kinds may be used together to the best advantage; wheat and other cereals, fruits, and vegetables, and how to use them; meat as an article of diet; the use of milk, butter, eggs, etc.; is salt injurious? pepper and other condiments; two meals or three; hints on cooking; dietetic rules, etc.

All who are interested in the “Reason Why” for rules of diet, and all who would eat for health and strength should read this valuable treatise. Sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of price. 25 cents.

This work is divided into three parts; the first part, giving the “Reason Why,” is published separately as above.

Part Second contains the “Hygienic Dietary.” Here we have directions for the preparation of food, recipes for cooking, etc., in what the author considers a strictly healthful manner; including breads of all kinds, the preservation of fruits, vegetables, etc.

Part Third is what the author calls “The Compromise,” containing directions for preparing food, not strictly in accordance with the Hygienic way, but in such a manner as to render it more plain and healthful than it is ordinarily found; and it will prove helpful and suggestive to many who find it difficult, on account of surrounding circumstances, to adopt the more strict Hygienic cookery.

Is widely known in America and Europe, having been before the reading world fifty years, and occupying a place in literature exclusively its own, viz., the study of Human Nature in all its phases, including Phrenology, Physiognomy, Ethnology, Physiology, etc., together with the “Science of Health,” and no expense will be spared to make it the best publication for general circulation, tending always to make men better physically, mentally, and morally. Parents and teachers should read the Journal, that they may better know how to govern and train their children. Young people should read the Journal, that they may make the most of themselves. It has long met with the hearty approval of the press and the people.

N. Y. Times says: “The Phrenological Journal proves that the increasing years of a periodical is no reason for its lessening its enterprise or for diminishing its abundance of interesting matter. If all magazines increased in merit as steadily as The Phrenological Journal, they would deserve in time to show equal evidences of popularity.”

Christian Union says: “It is well known as a popular storehouse for useful thought. It teaches men to know themselves, and constantly presents matters of the highest interest to intelligent readers, and has the advantage of having always been not only ‘up with the times,’ but a little in advance. Its popularity shows the result of enterprise and brains.”
