Preface

Tins little book contains an outline of two short Courses of Lectures on Human Physiology delivered to many thousands of persons at large towns in the North of England and the Midlands, and also in the Metropolis. It embodies an attempt I have made to excite an interest in, and give some sound elementary knowledge of, a branch of science which surpasses all others in its practical bearing upon the maintenance and improvement of the health of the community. It Is not intended as a text-book, but as an adjunct to the Lecture-room. Although written chiefly to help the numerous students who attend my own Lectures, it may also possibly prove of service to medical and other students who are engaged in attending Lectures on the same subject.
