We have recently published a volume containing a story of Human Nature which will be found of interest. It is called “The MAN WONDERFUL in the HOUSE BEAUTIFUL,” and is an allegory, teaching the principles of Physiology and Hygiene, and the effects of Stimulants and Narcotics. The House is the Body, in which the Foundations are the Bones, the Walls are Muscles, the Skin and Hair the Siding and Shingles, the head an Observatory in which are found a pair of Telescopes, and radiating from it are the nerves which are compared to a Telegraph, while communications are kept up with the Kitchen, Dining-room, Pantry, Laundry, etc. The House is heated with a Furnace. There are also Mysterious Chambers, and the whole is protected by a Burglar Alarm. In studying the inhabitant of the House, the “Man Wonderful,” we learn of his growth, development, and habits of the guests whom he introduces. He finds that some of them are friends, others are doubtful acquaintances, and some decidedly wicked. Under this form, we ascertain the effects of Food and Drink, Narcotics and Stimulants. It is a wonderful book, and placed in the hands of children will lead them to the study of Physiology and Hygiene, and the Laws of Life and Health in a way that will never be forgotten. The book will prove of great interest even to adults and those familiar with the subject. The authors, Drs. C. B. and Mary A. Allen, are both regular physicians, and therefore the work is accurate and on a scientific basis. “Science in Story” has never been presented in a more attractive form. It is universally admitted that a large proportion of sickness comes from violations of the laws of Life and Health, and therefore it is important that this subject should be understood by all, as in this way we may become familiar with all the avoidable causes of disease. The reading of this book will very largely accomplish this end. It will be sent securely by mail, prepaid, on receipt of price, which is only $1.50.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN, A READY PRESCRIBER AND HYGIENIC ADVISER, WITH REFERENCE TO THE CAUSES, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE. “WHAT THEY SAY”—NOTICES OF THE PRESS. We give a few of the favorable notices which this work has received: It possesses the most practical utility of any of the author’s works, and is well adapted to give the reader an accurate idea of the organization and functions of the human frame.—_New York Tribune._ The work is admirably simple, clear, and full, and no popular work that we ever saw had half its claims to notice. We hope it may have a wide circulation. Its mission is a most important one. It lies at the foundation of all other missions of reform. Let the world be informed in regard to the laws of health, and every other reform will have its way cleared. Till then, every effort for moral and intellectual improvement can be only partially and feebly effective.—_Boston Ledger._
