The primary object of the study of physiology in our schools is to inculcate an intelligent care of the body. With this in view, matters of hygiene must in one sense take first place, although our understanding of hygiene must be based upon a knowledge of physiology. In the present work the study of the body, of its various parts and their functions, is given full and comprehensive treatment; at the same time lessons on hygiene are given as natural results of the principles of physiology and as closely related thereto. A knowledge of foods and their values and of the causes and distribution of contagious and other germ diseases is of vital importance to every boy and girl. The effect of alcohol upon the various functions of the body is treated throughout the book in direct relation with the particular organs or functions concerned. The dangers connected with the use of alcohol will be found plainly indicated in accord with the results of the latest investigations in that department of science.
