From the Preface: This textbook was suggested by a series of popular lectures in which the author presented the essential principles of physiology about which a physician is consulted daily. The author has endeavored to include all the useful points of older textbooks, and to add such new matter as the recent progress of physiological and hygienic science demands. He has avoided technical terms, and has sought to express the truths in simple language. The subject of alcohol is discussed in all its aspects. Its evil effects are not exaggerated; but the alleged good from the use of strong drink is contrasted with its dangers in a judicial manner. (#00002444)
