About This Book

This work explains human anatomy and physiology in plain language to promote health and longevity, linking bodily structure to function and the mind's constitution. It distinguishes organic and animal vital processes, traces growth and decay, and surveys tissues, blood, circulation, and organ systems. It addresses sources of pleasure, the relations among physical condition, happiness, and lifespan, and the stages of infancy and maturity. Practical applications emphasize preventive care, observation of symptoms, and the influence of bodily state on mental development, education, and moral affections.
