This is an excellent work on physical culture. It shows how every 

 part of the body may be developed and beautified. Northern Christian 

 Advocate. 



The author has viewed his subject from every essential stand-point, 

 and has produced a work that merits the earnest attention of all. Mr. 

 Blaikie has treated his theme in a practical common-sense way that ap- 

 peals at once to the judgment and the understanding. A complete and 

 healthful system of exercise is given for boys and girls ; instructions are 

 set down for the development of every individual class of muscles, and 

 there is sound advice for daily exercise for children, young men and 

 women, business men and consumptives. In addition, there are instruc- 

 tions for a system 'of home gymnastics, and an easv routine of practice 

 laid out. The volume is one that should be in the hands of everybody 

 who places a proper value upon health, and the most practicable way of 

 preserving it. Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston. 



It is the best work of the kind we have ever read. * * * An invalu- 

 able book, we think. Evangelical Messenger, Cleveland, Ohio.

 reason of every parent and teacher. Philadelphia Press.

 costume nor expensive apparatus. Presbyterian, Philadelphia.
