Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Teacher of Health, and the Laws of the Human Constitution
But it is no part of our intention - it never has been so - to diffuse light on the structure, functions and rela tions of man, as the ultimate end of our labors; but rather as a means to an end. Moral or spiritual advancement has been the chief end to which our eye has been directed, and still is. To make men more healthy and long lived, Without making them any wiser or better, what good purpose could it possibly answer? It would do little if any thing more than to make them the more gigantic, if not the more mischievous animals.
