OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Extract from the Auckland livening Star, November 30, 1878. i "W« have received a copy oi " The Settler's Guide," written by Mr J. C. Sharland, of this city, doroted to the discussion of the laws of health, and how to preserve it. ' No knowledge can be so incessantly appealedo-fc by tltei incidents of every. day as the knowledge of (ha processes by which 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 lawi, : which when .disobeyed, bring years of suffering, declirio of power, and premature ( decay. Sanitary' reformers preachi in vain f 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 suffers^froin impure' aii^ another miy endure it without apparent harm. A third concludes that it is all chance; and trusts to that, chanoe. Had he undorstood, the .principles involved, he would not hare been left to chance ; . his first lesson in swimming would not have been a shipwreck. The writer justly observes : — " That it is incumr benb 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 ,tlian to teacn. a science. He has endeavored to be intelligible and interesting to all. The chapters embracing the subjects o£ the physiology and chemistry of common life are excellent. The views sefc forth on air, food, ventilation, baths, batliing, clothingt &c, also deserve careful attention. Mr Sharland lias taken great pains and bestowed considerable labor on the work. It is published a 6 a low price, and will bo found a most useful text-book in the householdj 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 notico of an excellent little work called "The Settlers' Guide," emanating from the pen of Mr J. C. Shavland, 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 compendiouß 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 ulae for food suitable for the sick, and for its practical remarks on hygiene, and various tether subjects connected with the household. Wo 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 beai the highest reputation for efficacy, genuine- ( noss, and moderate price. i fjßica: Is. 6d. • SOLT) BY DINWIDDIE, WALKER & CO., Booksellers and Stationers, Tennyson-street, JSfapier- 75
