The Table of Contents by Chapters has these striking subjects:
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.
The book will be sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of price, $1.50. Agents wanted, to whom special terms will be given. Address
