Summary "The House We Live In; or, The Making of the Body" by Vesta J. Farnsworth is a scientific publication intended for home reading, written in the early 20th century. This educational work aims to assist mothers in teaching their children about human anatomy, emphasizing the importance of caring for their bodies and understanding the harmful effects of narcotics and stimulants. The book metaphorically compares the body to a house, illustrating various concepts of health and physiology in a manner accessible to young readers. At the start of the book, the narrative features a mother conversing with her children about the similarities between physical houses and the human body. The mother describes how houses come in different styles and materials, drawing parallels to the universal features of our bodies. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and caring for the body as a divine creation, encouraging children to appreciate their health and the proper treatment of their bodies. The children actively engage in the conversation, inquiring about various aspects of housing and anatomy as they learn from their mother's wisdom, setting the stage for a journey of discovery into the human body's wonders.
