Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Physiology and Hygiene for Educational Institutions and General Readers: Fully Illustrated This work is designed to present the leading facts and principles of human Physiology and Hygiene in clear. and concise language, so that pupils in schools and colleges, and readers not familiar with the subjects, may readily comprehend them. Anatomy, or a description of the structure of an organ, is of course necessary to the understanding of its Physiology, or its uses. Enough of the former study has, therefore, been introduced, to enable the pupil to enter intelligently upon the latter. Familiar language, as far practicable, has been employed, rather than that of a technical character. With a view, however, to supply what might seem to some a deficiency in this regard, a Pronouncing Glossary has been added, which will enable the inquirer to understand the meaning of many scientific terms not in common use. In the preparation of the work the writer has carefully examined all the best material at his command, and freely used it; the special object being to have it abreast of the present knowledge on the subjects treated, as far as such is possible in a work so elementary as this. The discussion of disputed points has been avoided, it being manifestly inappropriate in a work of this kind. Instruction in the rudiments of Physiology in schools does not necessitate the general practice of dissections, or of experiments upon animals.
