The Modern Health Books published by Messrs. Faber and Gwyer

(3s. 6d.) supply a very definite demand on the part of the public to be better informed about the human body. The latest volume in this series is Nerves, by Dr. Frazer Harrison, which the layman may read with interest and profit. Child Health and Character, by Dr. Elizabeth Sloane Chesser, is also deeply interesting. The author's short but deeply thoUghtful introduction should be studied by every parent. A spread of the knowledge of child psychology is one of the most hopeful signs of the times, and Dr. Chesser one of the leaders in the new enlightenment.
