Excerpt from The Story of a Living Temple: A Study of the Human Body
This book was suggested by experience both in teaching and in professional work. Its plain object, bare of figures of speech, is to arouse in the young a deeper interest in the study of the human body. As a physician called to see both young and old, I have long been convinced that "people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." They lack a practical knowledge of the physical basis of health and happiness and morality. As a teacher I have found that when presented as here outlined, the study of the human body becomes not only interesting, but fascinating. The young mind can easily be led to regard the human building as a masterpiece of creation, a beautiful structure, worthy of the most profound admiration. In addition to this, every young person who once comes to a clear perception of the true relation of body to mind and mind to body, must ever after hold his health as sacred as his character.
