IF YOU WANT SOMETHING that will interest you more than anything you have ever read and enable you to understand all the differences in people at a glance, by the Signs of Character, send for a copy of HEADS AND FACES; How to Study Them. A new Manual of Character Reading for the people, by Prof. Nelson Sizer, the Examiner in the phrenological office of Fowler & Wells Co., New York, and H. S. Drayton, M.D., Editor of the Phrenological Journal. The authors know what they are writing about, Prof. Sizer having devoted nearly fifty years almost exclusively to the reading of character and he here lays down the rules employed by him in his pro- fessional work. It will show you how to read people as you would a book, and to see if they are inclined to be good, upright, honest, true, kind, charitable, loving, joyous, happy and trustworthy people, such as you would like to know. A knowledge of Human Nature would save many disappointments in social and business life. This is the most comprehensive and popular work ever published for the price, 25,000 copies having been sold the first year. Contains 200 large octavo pages and 250 portraits. Send for it and study the people you see and your own character. If you are not satisfied after examining the book, you may return it, in good condition, and money will be re- turned to you. We will send it carefully by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 40 cents, in paper, or $1 in cloth binding. Agents wanted. Address FOWLER & WELLS CO., Publishers, 775 Broadway, New York.
