Summary "First Book in Physiology and Hygiene" by John Harvey Kellogg is an educational publication written in the late 19th century. This book is designed specifically for children, introducing them to fundamental principles of human physiology and hygiene. It covers important topics such as healthful living, the structure and functions of the human body, as well as the significance of nutrition, and the effects of stimulants and narcotics. The opening of the book sets the tone for its educational purpose, starting with a friendly comparison of the human body to a house. The author describes the body in accessible terms, referring to its various parts as organs and emphasizing the importance of understanding how they function and how to care for them. Kellogg highlights the interconnectedness of anatomy, physiology, and hygiene, aiming to present complex ideas in a straightforward manner suitable for young readers.
