LESSONS IN HYGIENIC PHYSIOLOGY
By W. M. Coleman. x + 271 pages. 198 illustrations (16 colored,
13 full-page plates). 60 cents net.
In Lessons in Hygienic Physiology the study of physiology
is simplified without weakening the presentation of its three
essential principles—the biological principle of environment,
the chemical principle of oxidation, and the physical principle
of energy. The subject is approached throughout from the
standpoint of health, because this is the most useful as well as
the most interesting point of view. The question of temperance
is treated fully, but at the same time in a conservative
manner. The book is fully illustrated, one hundred and ninety-eight
figures being furnished, sixteen of which are colored.
The Lessons is suited to the needs of teachers who may find
the Elements somewhat too advanced for their classes.
ELEMENTS OF PHYSIOLOGY
By W. M. Coleman. xii + 364 pages. A very full course in Physiology
and Hygiene. Profusely illustrated in black and white and in
colors. 90 cents net.
This book has an exceptionally large number of illustrations—two
hundred and forty-eight, of which eight are full-page
colored plates. The need for a compound microscope is
largely obviated by sixty microscopic views of cells and tissues.
The Elements is provided with a Colored Manikin arranged to
show every important organ in its natural position with reference
to the organs before it, behind it, and around it. Since
every pupil has the manikin while studying each lesson, it is
really more serviceable than the manikins usually found in
schools. This book contains twenty-five Thought Lessons
of about ten questions each, logically developing different
lines of thought; also three hundred questions in Applied
Physiology.
