Excerpt from Lessons in Physiology for Beginners: Including Brief and Plain Descriptions of the Most Important Parts of the Human Body and the Action of Alcohol and Other Stimulants TO write a book for beginners in any branch of knowl edge is no easy task. The author realizes the difficulties in the way, and freely admits his inability to produce a perfect work in this line. Years of experience, how ever, in teaching Physiology to all grades of pupils, from the child Of ten years to the medical student Of twenty five, have qualified him, in part, for a task of this kind. Therefore, without further apology, this little book is submitted to the public to stand on its intrinsic merits.
