THE recent advances in our knowledge of personal and public 

 hygiene and of sanitation have made indispensable for the use 

 of progressive educators a practical and authoritative textbook of 

 what may be called " the new physiology and hygiene." The pres- 

 ent work has been prepared in recognition of this need. Professor 

 Hough has been engaged in the study and teaching of physiology 

 and personal hygiene for over ten years. Professor Sedgwick has 

 had a large share in the advancement of the study of public health 

 and sanitation in America. They have made the keynote of this 

 work the right conduct of the physical life, and to this end every- 

 thing else is subordinated. Anatomy and histology are only briefly 

 outlined, while special chapters are devoted to practical matters of 

 hygiene and sanitation. 



The authors believe that the matter and method of this new text- 

 book will go far toward rescuing physiology and hygiene from the 

 neglected and too often despised place which they now occupy in 

 schools, and promoting them to one of practical usefulness and cor- 

 responding esteem. 



The book is intended for high schools and normal schools, and 

 for short courses in colleges.
