Perhaps no textbook ever published better deserves the name “practical” than this book.
It furnishes all the necessary facts of physiology for students and presents each subject so clearly in its relation to the great laws of health and right living in so interesting a style that the student cannot fail to find pleasure and profit from its use.
Two hundred and fourteen simple, practical experiments supplement and illuminate the text and illustrate important principles in physiology.
By following closely Chapter XV. on experimental work in physiology, much may be done by the students in original investigation without the use of vivisection.
In Chapter XIV. devoted to “In Sickness and in Health” the nature, importance and action of bacteria are thoroughly discussed, followed by full discussion of disinfectants and the management of contagious diseases.
This book should be used by students who have a knowledge of elementary physics.
