Mr. SmiLas's Physical Education, or the Nurture end Management of

Children, is a forcible little volume, with the useful aims of rendering parents careful as to the health of their offspring by means of attention to diet, exercise, and the begin- nings of disease. He professes to no originality of view ; but he has collected and popularly expressed the principles of digestion, respiration, exercise, and the functions of the skin ; so that the reader can have no doubt about the reason of the rules. He will only want resolution to enforce them.
