About This Book

Aimed at primary pupils, the primer introduces basic anatomy and hygiene in simple language and illustrations, explaining bones, joints, muscles, nerves, organs, digestion, circulation, respiration, skin, senses, temperature, and bodily strength. Interspersed are practical lessons on posture, foot care, and everyday habits that protect health. Several chapters focus on alcoholic drinks, beer and distillation, tobacco, opium, and related stimulants and narcotics, describing how these substances act on the body and advising avoidance. The tone is didactic and preventive, presenting physiology only as needed to show the personal and economic costs of unhealthy practices.
