Abstract
THIS well-printed, well-bound, and well-arranged book adds yet another to the long list of popular physiologies. The author endeavours to convey, without difficult technicalities, all the main points of the physiology of the body—the building of it up from food materials, digestion, the stomach, milk, animal foods, food habits, breathing habits, stimulus, clothing, eyesight, hearing, rest and sleep, infectious diseases, &c. The expositions are very simple and attractive. There are many illustrations. Each chapter has a set of questions appended, and there is a glossary of terms, obviously meant for the most elementary pupils. The book may. be thoroughly recommended as a good class book.
