TEACHING THE PRINCIPLES OF PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE, AND THE EFFECTS OF STIMULANTS AND NARCOTICS.
=Also adapted as a Reader for High Schools, and as a Text-book for Grammar, Intermediate, and District Schools.=
BY CHILION B. ALLEN, A.M., LL.B., M.D., AND MARY A. ALLEN, A.B., M.D.
=Fully Illustrated, Extra Cloth, 12mo, Price $1.50.=
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.
