The success of the "Teaching Truth," and "Child-Confidence Rewarded," together with the frequent requests for some inexpensive book for the instruction of boys approaching manhood, has led to the writing of "=Almost A Man=." It is intended to help mothers and teachers in the delicate task of teaching the lad concerning himself, purely and yet with scientific accuracy. A booklet designed to help mothers and teachers in the instruction of boys. Ought to be in the hands of every parent in the land.--_Toledo Blade._ Chaste and pure, and admirably adapted to mothers in this most difficult, universally neglected but very important line of work.--_Early Education._ Many mothers will be glad to read what such an authority as Dr. Wood-Allen has to say on so important and delicate a subject.--_Mother's Journal._ Worth its weight in gold to the puzzled mother, telling her exactly what she wants to know. This book deals reverently with the great mystery of life.--_Ladies' Home Journal._ Too much cannot be said in its favor.--_School Education._ I can conscientiously recommend it to all who are interested in the physical and moral welfare of youth.--_C. A. Dorman, M. D._ Such literature cannot fail to accomplish great and lasting good.--_Eng. F. Storke, M. D._ Many have given good advice, but this is the best.--_Rev. Kent White._ I believe this little book would do incalculable good if placed in the hands of boys after they have reached ten years of age.--_Wm. G. Lotze, Gen. Sec. Y. M. C. A., Denver, Colo._ =Address, WOOD-ALLEN PUB. CO., Ann Arbor, Mich.= * * * * * =A NEW BOOK=, =The Marvels of Our Bodily Dwelling= =BY MARY WOOD-ALLEN, M. D.= Teaching by metaphor, parable, and allegory has been the method of many of the wisest instructors. No one can claim originality in comparing the body to a house, for that comparison is as old as literature. But the simile is still of interest to the juvenile mind, and as science is ever making new discoveries, there is continual demand for new and interesting works on physiology. Dr. Wood-Allen in this new book has united scientific facts and metaphor with the skill that would be expected from her by those acquainted with her literary powers. The book will be found equally valuable as a text-book, a supplementary reader or a reference book in schools, or as a book of pleasant home instruction. Teachers in Normal Schools will find it a most suggestive aid in teaching physiology. As it contains the most reliable scientific facts in regard to alcohol, tobacco, and other narcotics, it fills the demand created by the school laws compelling the teaching of the action of narcotics on the human body. TESTIMONIALS. A charming book.--_Frances Willard._ Only a scientific person can understand how really good it is. It has been to me intensely interesting, and I hope sincerely that the world at large will appreciate it.--_J. M. W. Kitchen, M. D._
