Abstract
THIS is one of a numerous class of books suitable for use in high schools and similar institutions. As its title implies, it gives, in addition to the principles of physiology, as much anatomy and also, it may be mentioned, chemistry as is necessary for the understanding of the bodily functions; the application of such knowledge to everyday life (hygiene) is also pointed out in a sensible and practical way. A book of this character does not call for any lengthy review; it is sufficient to say that after a careful perusal we are convinced that it will fulfil the rôle the author wishes it to play. It is clearly written, well illustrated, and, what is more important, is unusually free from errors.
Studies in Physiology, Anatomy and Hygiene.
