OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Extract from the Auckland Evening Star, November 30, 1878. We have received a copy of " The Settler's Guide," written by Mi J. C. Sharland, of this city, devoted to the discussion of the laws of health, and how to preserve it. No knowledge can bo so incessantly appealedo t by the incidents of every day as the knowledge of the processes by which man lives and acts ; and no scientific subject can be bo important to him as that of his own life. At every moment he is in danger of disobeying laws, which when disobeyed, may bring years of suffering, decline of power, and premature decay. Sanitary reformers preach in vain, because they preach to a public which docs not understand the laws of life. Even the sad experiences of others yields us no lesson unless the principles involved are understood. If one man suffers from impure air, another may endure it without apparent harm. A third concludes that it is all chance, and trusts to that chance. Had he understood the principles involved, he would not have been left to chance j his first lesson in swimming would not have been a shipwreck. The writer justly observes :— " That it is incumbent upon every man to have an intelligent knowledge of the wonderful structure of laws for the preservation of health, and of the remedies which science has discovered for the relief of disease and suffering. Mr Sliarland shows that a clear and accurate conception of the chief physiological laws, sufficient foi' ordinary practical guidance, may be impressed upon the mind and illustrated by memorable facts, without once appealing to anatomical knowledge. It seems to have been liis object to expound principles rather than to teach a science. He has endeavored to be intelligible and interesting to all. The chapters embracing the subjects of the physiology and chemistry of common life are excellent. The views set forth on air, food, ventilation, baths, bathing, clothing, &c, also deserve careful attention. Mr Sharland has taken great pains and bestowed considerable labor on the work. It is published at a low price, and will bo found a most useful text-book in the household, both in town and country. We refer the public to the advertisement of its publication, in our third page, for further particulars. In our advertising columns will be found the notice of an excellent little work called "The Settlers' Guide," emanating from the pen of Mr J. C. Sharland, of Auckland, which is well worth the attention of our town and country readers. It treats briefly all matters of health and disease, and gives, in a compendious form, an account of the diseases to which the human franio ia liable, and the means of counteracting or alleviating them. When the doctor is at hand such a work may still be useful, for its information and for ulre for food suitable for the sick, and for its practical remarks on hygiene, and various other subjects connected with the household. We must accord the meed of praise to Mi 1 Sliarland for having arranged his subjects with great method, and in a style concise and comprehensible to everyone. We wisli him every success, not only in the sale- of his book, but for his spirit and enterprise in preparing medical remedies, all of which bear the highest reputation for efficacy, genuineness, and moderate price.
