"Hygienic Physiology: with Special Reference to the Use of Alcoholic Drinks and Narcotics" by Joel Dorman Steele is a scientific publication likely written in the late 19th century. This revised edition is intended for educational use in schools and focuses on human physiology, anatomy, and hygiene, particularly emphasizing the impact of alcohol and narcotics on health. The work aims to provide youth with practical knowledge for preserving health and fostering correct physical habits. At the start of the text, the author delineates the goals and structure of the book, highlighting the interrelation of physiology, anatomy, and hygiene without strict boundaries. The introduction underscores the importance of understanding the functioning of the body to preserve health and prevent disease. Steele explains the necessity of physiologically-based education among youths, describing how ignorance can lead to detrimental health habits.
