Excerpt from Beginner's Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene: Including Scientific Instruction on the Effects of Stimulants and Narcotics on the Growing Body Young pupils, in order to understand an object must receive definite ideas about the same. These definite ideas are best communicated by allowing the pupil to see or handle the object, or an object similar in nature. In order that they may understand the working of an apparatus, or part, they must be informed how to observe the phenomena of the part, and how to draw conclusions or comparisons from simple experiments. That the facts of anatomy may be easier and better impressed on the mind, directions for the dissection of a rat or dog, and for the dissection of special parts of other animals are given. For these dissections the only tools required will be a pocket-knife, a saw, a thin-bladed bread-knife, several hooks in handles (a barbless fish-hook tied to a pen-holder), and scissors. In order that the phenomena of the living body (physiology) may be better understood, directions are given where to observe and what to look for on the human body, or other animal bodies, also directions for illustrative simple experiments. The apparatus required is meagre: a student's microscope, bulb-syringe, fruit-jars, candle, etc. The health-hints are largely deduced from the facts of structure and of the workings of the living body. The health-hints are mainly presented in the form of maxims, and the reason for the same is presented in the sentences following.
