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. O. Shavland, of this city, devoted to the discussion of the laws of health, and how to preserve it. No knowledge can be 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 does 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 Sharland shows that a clear and accurate conception of the chief physiological laws, sufficient for ordinary practical guidance, may be impressed upon the mind and illustrated by memorable facts, without once appealing to anatomical knowledge. It seemß to have been his 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 Shavland has taker great pains and bestowed considerable laboi on the work. It is published at a low price and will be found a most useful text-book ir the household, both in town and country We refer the public to the advertisement oi its publication, in our third page, for furthe] particulars. •«,_.*• In our advertising columns will be founc the notice of an excellent little work callec "The Seltlers' Guide," emanating from th< pen of Mr J. C. Sharland, of Auckland, whicl is well worth the attention of our town anc country readers. It treats briefly all mattcri of health and disease, and gives, in a com pendious form, an account of the diseases t< which the human frame is liable, and tin means of counteracting or alleviating them When the doctor is* at hand such a work ma; still be useful, for its information and fo ulte for food suitable for the sick, and for it practical remarks on hygiene, and variou other subjects connected with the household We must accord the meed of praise to M Sharland for having arranged his subject with great method, and in a style concise anc comprehensible to everyone. We wish hin every success, not only in the sale of hi book, but for his spirit and enterprise in pro paring medical remedies, all of which bea the highest reputation for efficacy, genuine ness, and moderate price.
