« The Student's Friend." --Sukha Sidhak or The incans of becoming happy. * ** This book ought to be read by all persons, males as well as females, young and old for it inculcates the healthy principles ofothrift and self-help, even if we lay aside the question of abstinence from the use of spirits. The Publication is very opportune at this time, when complaints are heard from almost all parts of India, of the drunkenness and foppery that are gaining ground among the 50 called reformed youths of the land.
