Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nutritional Physiology The making of this book has been a study in elimination. It is, therefore, necessary at the outset to indicate the limits of its scope. It is intended that it shall be used with other books. Supplementary reading upon general biology, human anatomy, food chemistry, and dietetics is greatly to be desired. In the field of physiology itself many fascinating topics are entirely ignored and others treated in bare outline, with the purpose of subordinating all else to the subject of nutrition. Chemical formulae have been excluded from the text and used but sparingly in the notes. A certain preliminary knowledge of elementary science is assumed. The key-word of the following discussion is "energy." The success of the reader in gaining clear conceptions of what is presented will depend upon his familiarity with the meaning of that term. It is essential that he shall understand that energy is latent or potential in those chemical compounds which are susceptible of oxidation. He must have learned to recognize the possibility of its unending transformation. The more readily he thinks in terms of molecules, the more profitably he can read these chapters. Miss Ruth Bryant, Instructor in Biology in Simmons College, has borne a part in the work, which is to be described as collaboration rather than assistance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wiley's Health Series, Vol. 1: Nutrition Hygiene Physiology In our homes we are all familiar with the Odors, generally pleasant, of the cooking dinner. Sometimes, though, these odors are unpleasant; for instance, when the odor of boiled cabbage or of frying fish fills the house. All these instances illustrate the many sub stances which the air may contain, not to speak of the dust and solid particles which may also be present in the air. It is evident that the air is a really very complex mixture, but our attention is specially fixed on the fact that its chief characteristic, so far as human life is concerned, is its property of supporting life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wiley's Health Series, Vol. 2: Nutrition, Hygiene, Physiology I believe it was George Ade who said, If you want to uplift, get beneath. This sentiment is peculiarly appli cable to the study of physiology in the schools. Such terms as anatomy, physiology, and hygiene terrify the children, and to a certain extent make them antagonistic to the study. I have long thought that the proper way to get children interested in this matter was to make the subject a living one. I have sought to get entirely under it and to present it in a vital way. My experience is that children are easily interested in matters that pertain to their daily life if we go at it in the proper Spirit. Instead, therefore, of the dry details of physi ology, I have tried to lead the child into the midst of the phenomena of the life he is living and to tell him in sirnple language of the character of the environment in which he lives.

Even the relation of bones and muscles presents a new emphasis to be placed upon certain topics, especially such as relate to properly shaped feet and the results of muscle degeneration. The recognition of neurons as the units of the nervous system and nervous action, and the con ception of the brain and spinal cord as a complex of inter related neurons, have vastly illuminated the study of the nervous system even for younger children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Body in Health The aim has been kept in view of awakening in the young a normal desire to live in such a manner as to develop strength and preserve health, because in this way one may best achieve success in securing the things which he desires, and in avoiding the disabilities and pains which otherwise are likely to occupy a considerable part of his life. Comparatively little attention is given to anatomy, and only sufficient physiology is presented to constitute a basis for the facts of health which are discussed. Very extensive use is made of photographs and diagrams illustrating everyday life in the City and in the country. There is at least one interesting and practical original exercise suggested for every principle of health presented in each lesson. In order further to assist the teacher and the pupil, a list of questions, fully covering the text, has been given at the end of each Chapter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Health Reader: Physiology Hygiene While it has seemed advisable in some places to use words which children do not understand, their meanings have been given so that they may know what they are reading about. The dry details of the usual form of study on this subject have been entirely eliminated. The child who reads this book properly under competent instructors will have a new view of life, a better under standing of his environment, and a clearer conception of what is good for his health. He will be asking himself continually, when new duties and new pleasures present themselves, or new foods come to his attention, this question: Is it good for me?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Physiology and Other Addresses Ivhen we look back on the history of physiology, it seems perfectly evident that physiological progress has been dependent on the progress of physics and chemistry. On this point there is no room for doubt. To take only one example, where should we be in the investigation of animal metabolism but for the ideas and experimental methods furnished to us by physics and chemistry? We should know next to nothing about respiration, animal heat, nutrition, or muscular and other work. Physiology depends at every turn on physics and chemistry, and its future progress will certainly be equally dependent on advances in physical and chemical knowledge. This consideration has, I imagine, weighed very heavily in the minds of those physiologists Who have concluded that physiology is nothing but applied physics and chemistry. A further fact which weighs equally heavily is that in spite of diligent search nothing contradicting the fundamental laws of conservation of matter and energy has been discovered in connection with living organisms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Physiology: Applied to the Preservation of Health, and to the Improvement of Physical and Mental Education It is true, that almost every medical man, sooner or later, works out this knowledge for himself; but, in general, be attains it later than he ought to do, and seldom so completely as he would have done had it been made a part of his elementary education, to'which he saw others attach importance. In my own instance, it was only when entering upon prac tice that I had first occasion to feel and to observe the evils arising from the ignorance which prevails in society in regard to it. Impressed afterward more deeply than ever with the interest and utility of the study, I contributed two or three articles on the subject to one of our periodical journals, and re solved to make them the basis, at some future time, of a more detailed and connected exposition. This I have now attempted and, if the result prove use ful, in any degree, to the general reader or profes sional student, my object will be attained. The volume being of a purely elementary character, and admitted truths of a useful kind being, in every in stance, preferred to novelty or ingenious specula tion, the experienced practitioner will meet with lit tle to interest him in the perusal but for him it was never intended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Digestion and Metabolism: The Physiological and Pathological Chemistry of Nutrition, for Students and Physicians The author is convinced from perusal of current medical writings in this country that there is need among American physicians for a work presenting the subjects of Digestion and Metabolism in a popular manner, without technical details, and from the standpoint of dynamics rather than from that of analytical statics usually occupied by text books of physiological chemistry. He has rewritten in the form of a concise and systematic treatise the substance of his lectures in this field. No effort has been made to prepare an encyclopedic survey or a methodic synopsis of the very extensive literature of these subjects, but rather to offer a practical interpretation of them in their present state of development. The aim of the book is to describe the chemical changes in normal and abnormal digestion, and explain the known metabolic modifications that food materials undergo within the body. This understanding makes for comprehension of the pathology of diseases that may be termed metabolic - such as gout, diabetes, nephritis, autointoxication and the results of indigestion. In a word, the aim is to give the student and practitioner a working knowledge of just what is known to occur in the chemistry of the normal body and also of the changes concerned in many widespread and important diseases. Variations and findings in morbid states have been everywhere considered. The student and practitioner of the art and science of medicine will gain the most definite idea of physiological processes and chemical functions if they View them as a moving picture; in other words, if they will consider them dynamically rather than statically. The experimental method alone has enabled us to acquire the larger portion of our present knowledge of digestion and metabolism. Ability to think in the terms of the experimental method is essential to an under standing of these subjects. The student and physician need more than facility in method, invaluable as this is. They need the dynamic concept of function on which to found a dynamic conception of disease. The definition of experiment is fundamental to the concept of function.
