OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Extract from the' Auckland Evening Star, November 30, 1878. We have received a copy of " Tlie Settler's G-uide," 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 be so incessantly appealedo t by the incidents of every clay as tho knowledge of the processes by which man lives and acts ; and no scientific subject can be so important to him as that of Ins own life. At every moment he is in dangor 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 \tnderstand the laws of life. Even the sad experiences of othevs 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 ; 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 o£ 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 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 oui' third page, for further pavtieulai'B. i In our advertising columns will be found the notice of an excellent little work called "The Settlors' Gruide," 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 bz-iefly all matters of health and disease, and gives, in a com])endious form, an account of tlie 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 bo useful, for its information and for ulse 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 Mr, Sharland foi 1 having arranged his subjects with great method, and in a style concise and comprehensible to everyone. We wish him every success, not only in tho sale of his book, but for his spirit and enterprise in proparing medical remedies, all of which bear tho highest reputation for efficacy, genuineness, and moderate price.
