Description: One hundred and twenty year old handbook on how to be beautiful through hygiene. In excellent condition, 306 pages. Small, 4.5 inches x 7 inches. The advice includes some fairly whacky ideas, along with common sense suggestions. Whacky: "quantity of (menstrual) flow is greater in city bred girls and in those of leisure that in girls of the hard-worked laboring classes". Sports, " I do not feel that the dangers of this game (basketball) are compensated by any advantage that may come from it" Exercises in housework, "Perhaps you are lucky enough to have some of the floor-scrubbing or wiping up to do...getting down on your hands and knees you are really taking one of the most scientific positions for raising your internal organs" Common Sense Suggestions. Walking: it is the most natural form of exercise. It acts not only directly upon the heart, but by the action of the muscles of the legs more blood flows to them and all of the vessels carrying off the waste matter are thus made more active", " the problem of indoor exercise for girls is solved by the use of the punching bag, other wise know as the striking bag. By use of this apparatus every muscle in the body is brought into play." Skin: you already know that careful attention to all of the laws of hygiene will do more for your complexion than any lotions that ever were concocted"
