ON FOODS. By EDWARD SMITH, M. D., LL. B.; 

 F. R. S., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London, 

 etc I2mo Cloth, $1.75. 



" The author extends the ordinary view of foods, and includes water and air, since. 

 they are important both in their food and sanitary aspects. The book contains a series 

 of diagrams, displaying the effects of sleep nd meals on pulsation und respiration, and 

 of various kinds of food on respiration, which, as the results of Dr. Smith's own experi- 

 ments, possess a very hiyh value.'' London Examiner. 



POISON PROBLEM; or, The Cause and Cure 

 of INTEMPERANCE. By FELIX L. OSWALD, M. D., au- 

 thor of " Physical Education," " Household Remedies," etc. 

 I2rno. Cloth, 75 cents ; paper, 25 cents. 



"The author's discussion, with the startling array of terrible facts with which he 

 fortifies his argument in favor of total abstinence for the individual and prohibitory 

 legislation by the State, fully justifies the use of his title. He treats in successive 

 chapters of the secret of the alcohol babit, the causes of intemperance, the physiological 

 effects of the poison habit, costs of intemperance, alcoholic drugs, prohibition and sub- 

 jective remedies. Dr. Oswald is a radical temperance reformer. He denies to alcohol 

 any of the properties of food, regards it solely and purely as a poison, and one of the 

 most destructive and pernicious of poisons at that Temperance reformers and workers 

 will find the book an arsenal of weapons for the warfare they are waging on intemper- 

 ance." Boston Traveller.
