OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. l Extract from the Auckland livening Star, , November 3o, 1878. : ■ ...... We have received a copy'of i "The Settler's Guide," written by Mr J. 0. Sliarla'nd, 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'bythe incidents of. every day as the knowledge" of the processes by which man lives and aiots j and no scientific subject can be bo important i to him as that of his. own life. At- every moment he is in danger of disobeying laws, wliioh 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 1 life. ; Eron ! 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 tniats to that chance. Had. he understood! -the principles involved, he would not have' : btien 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 djscovered'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^byiniemorable factsj without once appealing to anatomical knowledge. Itiseems to have been/his object to expound principles rather than to teaoli 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 be 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 bur 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 frame is 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 ulso for food suitable for the«sick, and for its I p-actical remarks on hygiene, and various other subjects connected with the household. We must accord the meed of praise to Mr Sharland for having arranged his subjects with great method, and in a style concise and comprehensible to everyone. We wish 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.
