Publisher's Synopsis
Physiological Essays: Drink Craving, Differences In Men, Idiosyncrasy, And The Origin Of Disease is a book written by Robert Bird in 1870. The book is a collection of essays that explore various aspects of human physiology. The first essay discusses the physiological basis of drink craving, examining the effects of alcohol on the body and the brain, and the reasons why some people are more prone to alcoholism than others. The second essay explores the differences between men and women in terms of their physiology, examining the effects of hormones and other factors on gender-specific traits and behaviors. The third essay looks at the concept of idiosyncrasy, or individual variability in response to drugs and other substances, and the implications of this for medical treatment. Finally, the fourth essay considers the origins of disease, examining the role of environmental factors, genetics, and other factors in the development of illness. Overall, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the state of medical knowledge in the late 19th century, and offers insights into the ongoing quest to understand the complexities of human physiology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
