Physiology Animal And Mental Applied To The Preservation And Restoration Of Health Of Body And Power Of Mind Sixth Edition

Excerpt from Physiology, Animal and Mental: Applied to the Preservation and Restoration of Health of Body, and Power of Mind To study single departments of man's complicated nature - as his anatomy, or physiology, or phrenology separately, furnishes a partial and often erroneous view of it as a whole. TO obtain anything like a complete knowledge of him requires that his constitution be stud ied in its collective capacity. He must be known not by sections, but as a unit for in no other way can the reciprocal bearings and complex inter-relations of the multifarious laws of his being be understood. How useless, how imperfect a knowledge of anatomy, unless accompanied by that of both the physiology and the men tality And the latter two without the former And the latter without both the others Nor should this sectional mode of study be longer tolerated. The unitarian aspect of man, and means of improving him, forms the ground-work Of these volumes. How far they succeed the reader must decide. They probably constitute the first attempt to put side by side the laws of inter-relation existing between the body and mind.
