OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Extract from the Auckland E ning Star November 30, 1878. We have received a copy of " The Settler's Guide," written by Mi J. C. Shartoad, of this, city, devoted, to the discussion of the laws of health, arid how to preserve it. No know.ledge can be so incessantly appealedo t by the incidents of every day as the knowledge of tlie processes by which man lives and acts ; and no scientific subject can be so important to him as that oi 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 sufters ; 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, 'Kp would not have been left to chance ; 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 seems to have been his object to expound principles rather than to teach a science. He has endeavored to bo intelligible and interesting to all. The chapters embracing the subjects of the physiology and chemistry of cpmmon life are excellent. The views set forth on air, food, ventilation, baths, bathing, clothing, &c, also deserve careful attention. Mr Sliarland 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 Set Here 1 Guide," emanating from the pen of Mr J.-C. Sharland, of Auckland, which v 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 frame is liable, and the means of, counteracting or alleviating them. .: When thip doctor is at hand such a work may still be useful,, for its information and f oi \x\fß for fooci suitable for the sick, and for its practical .lipmarks on hygiene, and varioue otjier Bubjgo&s connected with the household, We mujsftC.qQrd. the meed of praise to Mi Shaj?Uiffi'"for-' having arranged his subjects with grM method, and in a style concise and compremffljsie to everyone. We wish him eyery stj^jK'iiiflot only in the sale of his ■ book, bWlOT^bis, spirit and enterprise in preparing 'Wflraw remedies, all of which beai the higbM^iapntation for efficacy, genuineness, ana'^p^rate price. s f^vEKjOK : Is, 6d. * ;.; * Sold by DINWIDDJE, MORRISON & CO., v iiliPP£E RS akd Stationers, W® yaon-street, Napier. 69C
