_Fifth Edition—Enlarged and Improved._ BY DR. ALCOTT. This work was prepared to meet the demand of the present exigency. Thousands of families, in the poorer and middling classes of society, are suffering from their unwise attempts to live in the style of those persons whose means are far greater than their own. The author has endeavored to convince them—in a brief manner—that a very few things only, are really indispensable to physical and even intellectual comfort and happiness—and that both these are within the reach of all, even in times like the present, would they be content to live in a manner at once rational, simple and healthful. It discusses the following subjects: Estates and Business; Houses and Furniture; Equipage and Servants; Dress; Food and Drink; Medicine and Physicians; Books and Schools; Customs and Habits; Society; and gives several interesting Examples of living on small means. With the emendations and improvements made in this edition, it is believed the work cannot fail to be regarded by every unprejudiced mind, as one of the most useful manuals of the day. Four editions, of 1000 copies each, were sold in a few weeks. Prices:—25 cts. single—$2.50 a dozen—$20 a hundred. ------- Will soon be ready, THE YOUNG WIFE. _Stereotyped—and Embellished by a beautiful Plate and Vignette._ BY DR. ALCOTT. This work is based on the principle, that the great business of the wife is Education—the education of herself and her family. It therefore exhibits the duties of a wife, especially to her husband, in a manner at once original and striking. The author presupposes her to have set out in matrimony with christian principles and purposes; and hence proceeds to inculcate what he deems the best methods of applying them in the routine of daily life and conversation. We believe that no one can rise from the perusal of this volume without a higher respect for female character, as well as a higher confidence in the divine wisdom of matrimony. The price will probably be the same as that of the Young Mother. ------- LIBRARY OF HEALTH, AND TEACHER ON THE HUMAN CONSTITUTION. _Monthly—Price $1 a Year, in advance._ DR. ALCOTT, EDITOR.
