Excerpt from Applied Physiology: Including the Effects of Alcohol and Narcotics
The author has endeavored to include all the useful points of the older text-books, and to add such new matter as the recent progress of physiological and hygienic science demands. He has avoided technical terms, and has sought to express the truths in simple language such as he would use in instructing a mother as to the nature of the sickness of her child.
The subject of alcohol is discussed in all its aspects. Its evil effects are not exaggerated; but the alleged good from the use of strong drink is contrasted with its dangers in a judicial manner, which appeals to men far more effectively than dogmatic abuse. The relation of alcoholic indulgence to other forms of intemperance, as excessive sugar eating, is also explained.
