OPINIONS OFTHE PRESS. Extract from the Auckland Evening Star, November 30, 1878. We have received a copy ot " Tho Settler's Q-uide," written by Mj J. C. Sharland, of this city, devoted to tie discussion of the laws of health, and h«w to preaei'Yd it. No knowledge can be so incessantly appealedo t by the 1 incidents of every day as the knowledge of the processes by which man lives and acts 5 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, whick when disobeyed, may bring years of sufferiag, decline of power, and premature 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. If one man suffers from impure air, another may endure it without apparent harm. A tlu'rd 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 j his first lesson in swimming would not have been a shipwreck. Tho 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 lias discovered for tho relief of disease and suffering. Mr Shnrltuid 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 anaiomieal 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. Tho chapters embracing the subjects of the physiology and chemistry of common lifo are excellent. Tho views set forth on air, food, ventilation, baths, bathing, clothing, &c, also deserve careful attention. Mr fcjharland 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' Q-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 briefly 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 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 aocord the meed of praise to Mr Sharland for having arranged his subjects with great method, and in a stylo concise and comprehensible to evci'yone. We wish him every success, nofc only in tho sale of his book, but for his spirit and enterprise in proparing medical remedies, all of which bear the highest reputation for efficacy, genuineness, and moderate price.
