A Manual of Personal Hygiene
Proper Living Upon a Physiologic Basis (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Manual of Personal Hygiene: Proper Living Upon a Physiologic Basis

The object of this manual is to set forth plainly the best means of developing and maintaining physical and mental vigor. Throughout the book there is concise but adequate discussion of the anatomy and physiology of the parts under consideration, upon which is based the subjoined advice. In other words, there is an exposition of proper living upon a physiologic basis. Purely technical phraseology has been avoided, as far as compatible with the scientific value of the text, and numerous explanatory diagrams and illustrations have been introduced. Although each special chapter is complete in itself, there has been purposive repetition of remarks upon subjects of such general interest as eating, drinking, breathing, bathing, sleep, exercise, etc., in order that they may be discussed more thoroughly from several standpoints.
