THE GREATEST THING IN LIFE 



Health being the greatest thing in life, it is astonishing that the one necessary reference work has 

 not long ago been written, especially since the last generation hasseensuch revolutions in medicine, 

 surgery and sanitation that no layman, and scarcely any one physician, can keep up with them. 



As a supplement to the physician's work, as a resource when a physician cannot be had, as an 

 educator in the art of living, the Home Library of Medicine has received the most enthusiastic 

 reception ever accorded a special encyclopedia.

Before this physicians have discouraged such works, and rightly. 

 Now that a really standard household medical library is at hand to 

 aid in the work of showing intelligent people how to live vigorously 

 and happily, the best physicians are welcoming it with the highest 

 praise. It is written so that any man, any woman and any household 

 can understand and use it. Associated with Dr. Kenelm Winslow, 

 a former Harvard Professor, in this work, is a notable board of 23 

 eminent specialists — landmarks in the medical profession. 



EVERYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND AND USE IT 



Every important illness, small and great, is described as clearly 

 and concisely as possible, and under each disease the reader is in- 

 structed what to do, whether to consult a physician, what to do until 

 the physician comes, andwhatto do if aphysician cannot be had. The 

 remedies and treatment resulting from the very latest scientific knowl- 

 edge are given ; all data concerning prescriptions, etc., have been 

 rigorously revised and safeguarded by the most famous specialists. 



We are not book publishers and we do not have to make 

 profit out of this set other than the widened recognition of the 

 Review of Reviews as the magazine most closely up to the 

 times, a magazine that consistently helps in living and 

 thinking. The six handsome volumes would be cheap 

 at ten dollars, and this will be their price when they 

 are put on sale at the book stores.
