Hough, Theodore, and Sedgwick, William Thompson. Human mechanism; its physiology, and hygiene, and the sanitation of its surroundings. *$2. Ginn.
6–37595.
“This is a textbook of hygiene on new lines. Anatomy, both gross and microscopic, is reduced to the lowest terms, and the emphasis of the book, as stated in the preface, is placed on physiology, hygiene, and sanitation—on function and conduct.”—School R.
“First half of the book ... avoids unnecessary details, but omits nothing essential. It is so lucidly written that the wayfaring man will have to be a terrible fool if he does not understand it. We can award to [the second] part no higher praise than to say that it is as excellent as the preliminary physiological portion. It teems with sound practical common-sense; it points out convincingly, avoiding too great technicality, the scientific reason for their [the authors’] faith.”
