This really important book.—Christian Union.
Written in Dr. Lewis’s free and lively style, and is full of good ideas, the fruit of long study and experience, told in a sensible, practical way that commends them to every one who reads. The whole book is admirably sensible.—Boston Post.
Full of practical and very sensible advice to young women.—Episcopalian.
Dr. Lewis is well known as an acute observer, a man of great practical sagacity in sanitary reform, and a lively and brilliant writer upon medical subjects.—N. Y. Observer.
We like it exceedingly. It says just what ought to be said, and that in style colloquial, short, sharp, and memorable.—Christian Advocate.
The whole tone of the book is pure and healthy.—Albany Express.
Every page shows him to be in earnest, and thoroughly alive to the importance of the subjects he discusses. He talks like one who has a solemn message to deliver, and who deems the matter far more essential than the manner. His book is, therefore, a series of short, earnest appeals against the unnatural, foolish, and suicidal customs prevailing in fashionable society.—Churchman.
A timely and most desirable book.—Springfield Union.
Full of spicy, sharp things about matters pertaining to health; full of good advice, which, if people would but take it, would soon change the world in some very important respects; not profound or systematic, but still a book with numberless good things in it.—Liberal Christian.
The author writes with vigor and point, and with occasional dry humor.—Worcester Spy.
