OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Extract from the Auckland Evening Star, November 30, 1878. We liavo received a copy ot " The Settler's Guide," written by Mr J. C. Sharland, of this city, devoted to the discussion of the laws of health, and how to preserve it. K"o knowledge can be so incessantly appealedo t by the incidents o£ every, day as the knowledge of (he processes by wliich man lives and acts ; and no scientific subject can be so 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 sufferimg, decline of power, and premature decay. Sanitary reformers preach in Tain, because they preaoh to a public which does riot understand the laws of life. Even the sad experiences of others yields us no lesson unless tjie principles involved aye 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 chanco ; liia first lesson in swimming would not have been a shipwreck. Tho writer justly observes : — " That it is incumbent upon every man to liavo an intelligent knowledge of the wonderful structure of laws for the preservation of health, and of tho remedies which science haß discovered for tho 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 tho mind and illustrated by memorable facts, without onco appealing to anatomical knowledge. It seems to have beßn his object to expound principles rather than to teach a Bciencc. Ho has endeavored to bo intelligible and interesting lo 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 desorve careful attention. Mr Sharland has taken great pains and bestowed considerable labor on tho work. It is published at a low pi-ice, and will be found a most useful fcexfc-book in tho 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' Griiido," 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 tho 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 ulte for food suitable for the sick, and for its practical remarks on hygiene, and various I other subjects connected with tho household. j 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. WVs ■wish, liirn 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.
