OPINIONS 6FtHB PRESS. Extract from the Auckland Evening Star, November 30, 1878. We hare received a copy ot " The Settler's Guide," -written by Mi J. C. Sharland, of this city, deToted to the discussion of the laws of health, and how to preserve it. No knowledge can be so incessantly ajjpealedo t by tlie incidents of every day as the knowledge of the 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 moment he is in danger of disobeying laws, which when disobeyed, may bring years of suffering, decline of power, and premature decay. Sanitary reformers preach in rain, because they preach to a public •which does not understand the laws of life. Even the Bad eiporiencos 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 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 havo 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 than to teach a science. He has endeavored to be intelligible and interesting to all. The chapters embracing tlie subjects of the physiology and chemistry of common life are excellent. The Yiewa set forth on air, food, ventilation, baths, bathing, clothing, &c, also deserve oaveful attention. Mr Shavland 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 furfclier particulars. In our advertising columns will bo found the notice of an excellent little work called "The Settlers' G-uide," 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 brieily 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 f or llla> 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 Shavland for having arranged his subjects with great method, and in a stylo concise and comprehensible to everyone. We wish him every success, not only in tlie sale of his book, but for his spirit and enterprise in proparing medical remedies, all of wliieh bear the highest reputation for efficacy, genuineness, and moderato price. ±\rice : Is. 6d.
