1910 Health Lessons, Book Two

Alvin Davison, professor of biology at Lafayette College, is the author of HEALTH LESSONS, Book Two, published in 1910 by the American Book Co., New York. His goal was to present the subject of personal and public health so it would appeal to the interest of boys and girls and fix in their minds the essentials of right living.

In fact, the 288-page hardbound book covers a great deal of the then-latest knowledge of health. Terrific drawings illustrate many of the subjects covered.

Some of the topics include: human body as living machine; plant/animal health; food for the body and how it’s used; care and cooking of food; drink and health; tobacco and other narcotics; blood and its passage through body; breathing, air and health; cleanliness and warmth; clothing and colds; bones, muscles, nervous system; causes of sickness; medical inspection in the schools; help for injuries; hospitals, sanatoria and dispensaries; adulterated food and drink; saving of health and life. Some of the approaches to these topics are almost humorous when compared with today’s knowledge!

Condition of the book is Good+ with slight edge/corner/spine end wear and light soil to the covers. Inside pages are clean, crisp and without apparent defects. Want some insight into how your grandparents learned human biology? Here’s a beauty!
