Hubbard, Mrs. Sara Anderson (Mrs. James M. Hubbard). Religion of cheerfulness; an essay. **50c. McClurg.
Believing that “a sunny disposition is a boon which confers more happiness on its owner and more happiness on those with whom one comes in contact, than any other which falls to the lot of a human creature,” Mrs. Hubbard preaches the religion of cheerfulness convincingly, urging that “as age increases cheerfulness should increase.”
Huber, John Bessner. Consumption: its relation to man and his civilization, its prevention and cure. **$3. Lippincott.
A serious volume with a wide scope. Dr. Huber requires that economic, legislative, sociological and humanitarian aid be summoned to strengthen the medical forces in fighting the white plague. The author addresses both physician and layman.
“The author has read widely ... but his own style is so peculiar and involved as to make the book difficult to read.”
