A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

IT may seem rather daring at first blush to write a book on such a topic. If, however, human intelligence, as nobody can deny, depends on the normal function of the brain, there can be no reason why the latter could not just as well be influenced by a number of hygienic and therapeutic means, as, for instance, the functions of the heart or of the kidney. In continuation of my books on a hygienic mode of living and correct feeding, I now have made an attempt to suggest a number of means for the health of the mind based upon a hygienic-physiologic foundation, as even very distinguished scholars sin against the simplest requirements of hygiene and carry on such a destructive wasting of their mental faculties that they become used up prematurely. Being engaged with many complex questions, these gentlemen sin against a sensible mode of living, and the consequence is a premature breakdown. It is, therefore, no wonder that so many great scholars and naturalists manifest signs of arteriosclerosis of the blood-vessels of the brain too soon, and become mentally diseased. Still worse is it that, through an entirely wrong and unhygienic way of education and instruction, which violate the laws of the most elementary hygiene and reason, a destruction of the mental faculties of children is carried on under the protection and sanction of the State authorities. Everything is taught in our school but plain human common sense!

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
