We have receiv&d a copy of " The Settler's G-uide," written by Mr J. C. Sharland, of this : city, devoted to the discussion of the laws at health, and how to preserve it. 2Tpknow« ! ledge can be so incessantly appealed© t by the' incidents of every day as the knowledge ofthe processes by which man lives and acts j' and no scientific subject can bo so important' to him as that of his own life. At every 1 moment he is in danger of disobeying- laws,* which when disobeyed, may bring years of sufEering, decline of power, and premature 5 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. 1 If one man suffers from impure air, another' may endure it without apparent harm. Athird concludes that it is all chance, and trußts ; to . that chance. Had he understood the 1 principles involved, he would not have been left to chance ; his first lesson in swimming' would not have been a shipwreck; The 1 writer justly observes :—" That it is incumbent upon every man to havo an intelligent knowledge o£ the -wonderful structure of laws for the preservation- of health, and of th« remedies which science has discovered for the relief of disease and suffering. Mr Sharland shows tliat 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 be intelligible and interesting to all. The ohaptera em«: bracing 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 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 o£ health and disease, aud 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 bo useful, for its information and for uloe for food suitable for the sick, and for its p-actical remarks on hygiene, and various other subjects connected with the household. We must accord the meed of praise to. Mr , Shai'land 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, genuine*: moss, and moderate price. *'.- Price: Is. 6d. .: Sold by DINWIDDIE, WALKER & CO., Booksellers and Stationers, ' < Tennyeon.s treat, Napier. 72 •Tl MUTUAL LIFE ASSOCIATION OF IVI AUSTRALASIA.
