"The attempt to teach only Human Physiology, like a similar
proceeding in regard to Anatomy, can only end in failure;

complication, and the necessity for the addition of
accessory organs, till they reach their utmost development

and interesting one, and be fruitful in profitable results.

"Throughout the accompanying pages, this principle has been
kept steadily in view, and it has been deemed of more
importance to impart solid and thorough instruction on the
subjects discussed, rather than embrace the whole field of
physiology, and, for want of space, fail to do justice to
any part of it."--_Extract from Preface_.

by the incidents of every day, as the knowledge of the
processes by which he lives and acts. At every moment he is
in danger of disobeying laws which, when disobeyed, may
bring years of suffering, decline of powers, premature
decay. Sanitary reformers preach in vain, because they
preach to a public which does not understand the laws of
life--laws as rigorous as those of Gravitation or Motion.
Even the sad experience of others yields us no lessons,
unless we understand the principles involved. If one Man is
seen to suffer from vitiated air, another is seen to
