A VALUABLE WORK 



Avoidable Causes of Disease, 



There is no question but what a large proportion of the diseases 

 to which men are subject, are produced by avoidable causes. One 

 of the best works ever written on this subject is 



"THE DISEASES OF MODERN LIFE." 



By Benramin Ward Richardson, M.D., M.A., F.R.S. i2mo, 520 

 pages, extra cloth, price $1.50. 



We append a few of the many favorable opinions that have been 

 expressed for this work in the 



NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 



" The work is of great value as a practical 

 guide to enable the leader to detect and avoid 

 various sources of disease, and it contains, in 

 adf'.ition, several introductory chapters which 

 are of great general interest. ' — Nature. 



"Particular attention is ^iven to di';eases 

 from worry and mental strain, from the pas- 

 sions, from alcohol, tobacco, narcotics, foods, 

 impure air, late hours and broken sleep, 

 idleness, intermarriage, etc., thus touching 

 upon causes which do not enter into the con- 

 sideration of sickness." — The Boston Cofn- 

 montvealth. 



" He has no affinity with the class of old- 

 women doctors who are eternally fussing and 

 dosing, and with their infallible prescriptions 

 break down more constitutions than all the 

 skill of the faculty can repair. His principal 

 aim is to point out the causes which lead to 

 disease, and to prevent its occurrence by ob- 

 serving the physical laws which are the con- 

 ditions of health." — The Tribune. 



" His work contains many useful and valu- 

 able hints, suggestions, and directions, and 

 they are put in such good and readable shape 

 that one does not tire in studying them." — 

 The Toledo Chronicle. 



Sudden and premature death is nearly always produced by Avoid- 

 able Causes of Disease. Therefore, if the people wish to prolong 

 their lives let them procure this work.
