Wonders of the Human Body (Classic Reprint)

Even such information as formerly belonged to certain professions alone is, at least in its rudiments, becoming more generally diffused; and on the part even of those professions the tendency is recognized as within reasonable bounds deserving of encouragement. To take the human body as an illustration, medical men find that the useful feature of their art is facilitated by the dissemination of information regarding its structure and functions. On the other hand, the public daily see more and more clearly that prevention is better than cure, and that to prevent derangements of the wonderful machine, with the guidance of which each individual is intrusted, more acquaintance with its mechanism and laws of normal action is indispensable. A part from its utility, a knowledge of anatomy and physiology is gradually becoming a necessary :part of a liberal education. To meet these requirements the Publishers now present this translation from the French of a book which, in the original, has attained to great popularity.
