About This Book

A school-level physiology and hygiene textbook explains the structure and functions of the human body—skeleton, muscles, skin, teeth, respiration, circulation, digestion, the nervous system, and the special senses—and pairs those descriptions with common diseases and practical treatments. It emphasizes habits that preserve health and includes focused material on the effects and proper use of alcoholic drinks and narcotics. Practical guidance covers sick-room management, disinfectants, first aid and antidotes, microscopic exercises, classroom questions, selected readings, a glossary, and an index to support teaching and student observation.
