OR
THE HUMAN BODY.
Second Edition—entirely re-written, enlarged and improved.
FOR THE USE OF FAMILIES AND SCHOOLS.
BY DR. ALCOTT.
The great difficulty of making a subject which has hitherto been deemed dry and unintelligible, at once agreeable and interesting to the young mind, has led the author of this volume to describe the human body as a House.
The work treats, first, on the Frame—consisting of the bones, muscles, tendons, &c.; secondly, of the Covering—consisting of the skin, hair, nails, eyes, ears, &c.; and thirdly, of the Apartments and Furniture—by which are meant the interior cavities and organs. Nearly every anatomical and physiological term which appears in the work is so used or so explained, as to be at once clearly understood and apprehended. The subject is illustrated by numerous engravings.
The best recommendation of this work is, that it has been universally approved of by the families and schools where it has been introduced, and by all medical men who have examined it. It has also received the entire approbation of the Press, and is selling rapidly.
Prices:—50 cts. single—$5.40 a dozen.
