HEADS AND FACES: HOW TO STUDY THEM

A Complete Manual of Phrenology and Physiognomy for the People.

By PROF. NELSON SIZER, and H. S. DRAYTON, M.D.

Fully ill.u.s.trated. Octavo, extra cloth, $1.00; paper edition, 40 cents.

All claim to know something of _How to READ Character_, but very few understand all the _Signs of Character_ as shown in the _Head and Face_. The subject is one of great importance, and in this work the authors, Prof. Nelson Sizer, the phrenological examiner at the rooms of Fowler & Wells Co., and Dr. H. S. Drayton, the editor of the _Phrenological Journal_, have considered it from a practical standpoint, and the subject is so simplified as to be of great interest and easily understood.

The demand for standard publications of low price has increased greatly with the tendency of many bookmakers to meet it. Popular editions of the poets, historians, scientists have fallen in line with the hundreds and thousands of cheap editions of the better cla.s.ses of novels; and now, in response to the often-expressed want of the studious and curious, we have this voluminous yet very low-priced treatise on "Heads and Faces" from the point of view of Phrenology, Physiognomy, and Physiology. Although so low-priced, as we have noted above, it is no flimsy, patched-up volume, but a careful, honest work, replete with instruction, fresh in thought, suggestive and inspiring.

There are nearly two hundred ill.u.s.trations, exhibiting a great variety of faces, human and animal, and many other interesting features of the much-sided subject that is considered. Taken at length it is one of the most complete books on face-study that has been issued by its publishers, and is a book that must create a demand wherever it is seen. The style in which it has been produced, the excellent paper, good presswork, numerous ill.u.s.trations, and elegant, engaging cover, make it a phenomenon even in this cheap book day. Sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of price, 40 cts. AGENTS WANTED.

A NEW BOOK.

HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD; OR, HYGIENIC COOKERY.

By SUSANNA W. DODDS, M.D.

One large 12mo vol., 600 pp., extra cloth or oil-cloth. Price.

$2.00.

The author of this work is specially qualified for her task, as she is both a physician and a practical housekeeper. It is unquestionably the best work written on the healthful preparation of food, and should be in the hands of every housekeeper who wishes to prepare food healthfully and palatably. The best way and the reason why are given.

It is complete in every department. To show something of what is thought of this work we copy a few brief extracts from the many.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

"This work contains a great deal of excellent advice about wholesome food and gives directions for preparing many dishes in a way that will make luxuries for the palate out of many simple productions of Nature which are now lost by a vicious cookery."--_Home Journal._

"Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the equal in all respects and superior to many of its predecessors.

Simplicity is sought to be blended with science, economy with all the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with an ample household liberally. Every purse and every taste will find in Mrs. Dodds' book, material within its means of grasp for efficient kitchen administration."--_N. Y. Star._

"The book can not fail to be of great value in every household to those who will intelligently appreciate the author's stand-point. And there are but few who will not concede that it would be a public benefit if our people generally would become better informed as to the better mode of living than the author intends."--_Scientific American._

"She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cake; it is a educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful people."--_The Daily Inter-Ocean_, Chicago, Ill.

"The book is a good one, and should be given a place in every well-regulated _cuisine_."--_Indianapolis Journal._

"As a comprehensive work on the subject of healthful cookery, there is no other in print which is superior, and which brings the subject so clearly and squarely to the understanding of an average housekeeper."--_Methodist Recorder._

"In this book Dr. Dodds deals with the whole subject scientifically, and yet has made her instructions entirely practical. This book will certainly prove useful, and if its precepts could be universally followed, without doubt human life would be considerably lengthened."--_Springfield Union._

"Here is a cook-book prepared by an educated lady physician. It seems to be a very sensible addition to the voluminous literature on this subject, which ordinarily has little reference to the hygienic character of the preparations which are described."--_Zion's Herald._

"This one seems to us to be most sensible and practical, while yet based upon scientific principles--in short, the best. If it were in every household, there would be far less misery in the world."--_South and West._

"There is much good sense in the book, and there is plenty of occasion for attacking the ordinary methods of cooking, as well as the common style of diet."--_Morning Star._

"She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and devotes the larger portion of the work to those articles essential to good blood, strong bodies, and vigorous minds."--_New Haven Register._

The work will be sent to any address, by mail, post-paid, on receipt of price, $2.00. AGENTS WANTED, to whom special terms will be given.
