The leading purpose of the books of this series is to treat of the care and preservation of the health. The latest facts are given; and in each division the effects of alcoholic drinks, stimulants, and narcotics on the human system are shown with force, accuracy, and candor. The author, who is a successful practising physician, and largely engaged in educational matters, has accomplished the difficult task of adapting the different books of the series to the capacity and taste of the different grades of pupils for whom they are designed, the language employed being remarkably adapted to each grade. Many experiments with and without apparatus are suggested and explained in a manner that will be invaluable to the pupils. The health notes, in the form of blackboard exercises, in the "Physiology for Little Folks," in physical exercises, in "Young Folks' Physiology," and in hundreds of suggestions throughout the volumes, form especially good features of the series.
As suggested by the general title the volumes have been thoroughly revised, and are printed from entirely new plates, with many new illustrations. These new editions have been prepared under the advice and supervision of Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, National and International Superintendent of the Scientific Department of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Blaisdell's Physiologies are in use in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Providence, Springfield, Augusta, Me., and hundreds of cities and towns throughout the country.
