Abstract
THE scope of this book is very wide. In providing a guide to the layman for the proper regulation of his mental and physical life, the author runs riot from physiology to psychology with nothing missed in between. It is doubtful if anyone could ever plough his way entirely through to the end, although this would certainly be an enlightening task. As a book of reference, a modern 'home doctor', this one has much to recommend it. The advice is always sound and common sense, and the explanations are clear and simple. Teachers, medical men, or lecturers preparing talks on any branch of hygiene for youths or adults would find here much useful and relevant information.
