Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Physiology; Being of the Human Mechanism: Its Physiology and Hygiene and the Sanitation of Its Surroundings
The present book is a reprint of the physiological por tion of our larger work entitled The Human Mechanism, together with Chapter XVI (drugs, Alcohol, and Tobacco), which has been added to meet the requirements of law in some states with regard to the teaching of physiology. For those who desire in compact form the elements of physiology as a part of general biological training, as an introduction to the study of psychology, or for other spe cial purposes, and for those who, having undertaken the study of hygiene and sanitation in Elements of Hygiene and Sanitation (part II of The Human Mechanism), desire to acquaint themselves more fully with the fundamental physiology, the present volume should prove useful.
The references to Part II have been retained in the text, and apply either to The Human Mechanism or to Elements of Hygiene and Sanitation.
