The Care of the Body 



By professor R. S. WOODWORTH 



Cloth, i2mo, $i.jO 



Intended quite as much for the person who regards himself as 

 absolutely healthy as for the invalid or the one who is just a little 

 ailing, is this practical consideration of the human body, which 

 might be further described as a treatise on the science of the care 

 of the body. The volume presents the leading facts about the care 

 and building up of the body in a way that will sufficiently interest and 

 impress the reader and induce him to form those daily habits most 

 likely to insure health and usefulness. 



The blood, the circulation, breathing, food, digestion, wastes and 

 their removal, diet, bodily heat, the work of the body, the ear, the 

 eye, nerve and brain, work, rest and recreation, indulgences, the 

 cycle of life and disease are among the different topics which the 

 author takes up. The author believes that the reading and dis- 

 cussion of these facts will thoroughly familiarize the reader with the 

 use of food, air, and water in the development and maintenance of 

 the body. It will also impress the fact that health and strength are 

 not due to good luck, but to the wise use of these common things. 



" The reader's interest is sustained throughout, for the advice 

 given is sane, useful, and well adapted to the needs of everyday 

 life." — New York Medical Record. 



" A splendid book on health." — Detroit News- Tribune. 



" This is one of the most sensible guides to the maintenance of 



' health that we have ever had the pleasure of perusing. It is written 



in an unbiased and thoroughly practical manner, and appeals 



strongly to physicians and others interested in health matters." —
