    The ordinary agents of health are Exercise, Diet, Sleep, Air, Bath- ing, and Clothing. In this work the author examines each of these agents in detail, and from two different points of view. First, as to the manner in which it is, or should be, administered under ordinary circumstances : and secondly, in what manner and to what extent this mode of administration is, or should be, altered for purposes of training; the object of ''training,''' according to the author, being to put the body,- with extreme and exceptional care, undei- the influence of all the agents which promote its health and strength, in order to enable it to meet extreme and exceptional de- mands upon its energies. Appended are various- diagrams and tables relating to boat-racing, and tables connected with diet and training. The philosophy of human health has seldom received so apt an exposition.—G\.obe. After all the nonsense that has been written abput training, it is a comfort' to get hold of a thoroughly sensible book at last.—]oh.\\ Bull Macpherson.—Works by John Macpherson, M.D. :— THE BATHS AND WELLS OF EUROPE ; Their Action and Uses.
