OVERTON'S APPLIED PHYSIOLOGIES form a 

 series of text-booics for primary, grammar, and high 

 schools, which departs radically from the old-time 

 methods pursued in the teaching of physiology. These books 

 combine the latest results of study and research in biological, 

 medical, and chemical science with the best methods of 

 teaching. 



^[ The fundamental principle throughout this series is the 

 study of the cells where the essential functions of the body 

 are carried on. Consequently, the study of anatomy and 

 physiology is here made the study of the cells from thd" most 

 elementary structure in organic life to their highest and most 

 complex form in the human body. 



^ This treatment of the cell principle, and its development 

 in its relation to life, the employment of laboratory methods, 

 the numerous original and effective illustrations, the clearness of 

 the author's style, the wealth of new physiological facts, and the 

 logical arrangement and gradation of the subject-matter, give 

 these books a strength and individuality peculiarly their own. 

 ^ The effects of alcohol and other stimulants and narcotics 

 are treated in each book sensibly,- and with sufficient fullness. 

 But while this important form of intemperance is singled out, 

 it is borne in mind that the breaking of any of nature's laws 

 is also a form of intemperance, and that the whole study of 

 applied physiology is to encourage a more healthful and a 

 more self-denying mode of life. 



^ In the preparation of this series the needs of the various 

 school grades have been fully 'considered. Each book is well 

 suited to the pupils for whom it is designed.
