One editor says of it: "Some Itinerant's wife has been giving her experience out of meeting." Says one who has lived in the family of a minister for over a quarter of a century: "It's funny; yes it's very funny; but it's true--it's all true. Let those who want to know the ups and downs of the life of a minister and his wife read this book." Another reader says of it: "I have never read a book in which I was so much interested and amused at the same time. The story of the trials of Mrs. Hardscrabble with the Doolittles' alone is worth ten times the cost of the book. Every one should buy it, and let his minister and his wife read it." Complete Edition, 12mo, 544 pages; Handsomely Bound in cloth. Price $1.50. =_What Our Girls Ought to Know._= BY MARY J. STUDLEY, M.D. A most practical and valuable book; should be placed in the hands of every girl. Intelligently read it will accomplish much in the elevation of the human race. The book is full of the most practical information--just what every girl ought to know--must know. Clergymen and others who have occasion to address in sermon or lecture, girls, will find this book "crammed with suggestiveness." The author, Dr. Mary J. Studley, was a physician of large practice and great success. She was a graduate, resident physician and teacher of the natural sciences in the State Normal School, Framingham, Mass.; also graduate of the Woman's Medical College, New York: Dr. Emily Blackwell, Secretary of the Faculty, and Dr. Willard Parker, Chairman of the Board of Examiners.
