HUMAN-NATURE.

If you want something to read that will interest you more thoroughly than any book you have ever read, send for a copy of HEADS AND FACES, a new Manual of Character Reading for the people. It will show you how to read people as you would a book, and 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; or are they by nature untrustworthy, treacherous and cruel, uncharitable and hard-hearted, fault-finding, jealous, domineering people whom you would not want to have intimate with yourselves or your families.

A knowledge of Human-Nature will enable you to judge of all this at sight, and to choose for yourselves and children such companions as will tend to make you and them better, purer, more noble and ambitious to do and to be right, and would save many disappointments in social and business relations. It will aid in choosing and governing servants, training children, and deciding whom to trust in all the affairs of life. If you would know people without waiting to become acquainted with them, read HEAD AND FACES and How to Study Them, a new manual of Character Reading, 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 more than forty years almost exclusively to the reading of character and he here lays down the rules employed by him in his professional work.

The study of this subject is most fascinating, and you will certainly be much interested in it. Send for this book, which 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, 250 Portraits and other Illustrations.

We will send it carefully by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, only 40 cents in paper, or $1.00 in cloth binding. Address
