Sickness ana premature death are al- most always dne to violations of the laws that govern our physical being, and of which the masses are ignorant. 1f men knew better they would do better; but how can they avoid an evil that they konow not of? While cfforts are made through the public schools to give each child a so-calied comtmon English education, yet the children are permitted to grow up and enter upon the respousible duties of active life pro- foundly iznorant of the structure of their own bodies, and the laws of physical being upon which their health and lives depend. They are cent to school and crammed with arithmetic, rrammar, and geography, by teachers who, in ‘many instances, have never studied physiology and hymiene. They are taught to locate the mogntains and trace the rivers of foreign coun- tries, but are never taught to locate the vital orzans and glands of their own bodics, or trace the veios, arteries, and nerves in their various ramificadions. They are instracted in the flow of the tides, and the course of the ocean cur- rents, and the philosophy of winds and storms; but they have no correct conception ot the rela- tive efTects upon their bealth of breathing pure or impure air, nor has their atteatton ever been called to the importance of keeping their bodies clean and bealthy by recular bathingz. The criminality of such neglect I teaching becomes apparent when we consider that the masses, norantly violating the laws of health, bring upon themselves sickness, suffering, and death that might otherwise be avoided. In this condition of things we welcome into being any worlk that is calentated to impart to the masses a knowledge of the structurc of their own Lodics, the ~laws of health, and the importance of observiog those laws. We find Dr. Pierce’s Common & Medical Adviser to be just such a work. 1t is physiological and pathological, and the major part of it should be converted into a text-book for the use of com- mon schools, Its careful study will enable the healthy to preserve their health, and the sickly {0 rewain health.
