Book Description
Excerpt from The Care of Young Children A common expression when a child shows a marked resemblance to some near relation is to describe him as a chip of the old block. Now, if a block of marble be subjected to close examination it will be found to consist of countless myriads of particles, welded together into a compact mass. Similarly, a human body is composed of millions of microscopic particles, called cells, from which are built up bone and muscle, nerves, and all its other parts.
