    Crown 8vo, Cloth Elegant, in Box, Price 2S, 6d. THE CULT OF BEAUTY: A MANUAL OF PERSONAL HYGIENE. By C. J. S. THOMPSON. [Extract from Preface.] Too much care ca^mot be taken of the exterior of the human body, on which the general health so largely depends. The most recent discoveries in science go to prove that cleanliness, with proper attention to bodily exercise, is the greatest enemy to disease and decay. Quackery has never been 7Uore rampant tha>t it is to-day, and advertised secret preparations for beautifyhig the person meet us at every turn. It is zvith the object of showing hoiv Beauty may be preserved and aided 07i purely hygienic principles, that this work has been written, the greatest secret of Beauty bemg Health. CONTENTS— Chapter L—THE SKIN. Chapter III.—THE FEET. Chapter V —THE TEETH. Chapter VII.—THE EYE. Chapter II.—THE HANDS. Chapter IV.—THE HAIR. Chapter VI.—THE NOSE. Chapter VIIL—THE EAR. “ ‘Quackery,’ says Mr. Thompson, ‘was never more rampant than it is to-day’ with regard to ‘aids in beautifying the person.’ His little book is based on purely hygienic principles, and comprises recipes for toilet purposes which he warrants are ‘practical and harmless.’ These are virtues in any book of health and beauty, and Mr. Thompson’s advice and guidance are, we find, not wanting in soundness and common-sense.” —Saturday Revieio.
