Abstract
THIS is another of the many elementary manuals on physiology and hygiene which are being so prolifically produced in the United States. It is written clearly and to the point, and without any undue use of technical terms. How to live healthily and long is the ambition of most of us; this makes all the more astonishing the colossal ignorance which prevails, even amongst otherwise well-educated people, of the most elementary rules of health. One cannot praise sufficiently a nation which seeks to make knowledge on such a vital question part of the education of every citizen. Useful lessons are drawn from the lives of such men as Gladstone, Tolstoi, Cornaro, and others; but the most important section of the book appears to us to be that devoted to the history of our microscopic foes, and the means to combat their attacks upon us.
