Synopsis
The Maintenance Of Health: A Medical Work For Lay Readers by J. Milner Fothergill is a comprehensive early work of popular science on physiology and health maintenance. It presents a lay-friendly survey of the human body, its chemical make-up, and the processes by which health is maintained, with practical guidance for readers across all life stages. The book opens with an Introduction defining health as a balance of function and structure, and explains the chemical and physiological basis of life, such as the roles of air, food, the blood, digestion, respiration, and the nervous system. It proceeds through chapters on Growth (youth), Maturity (integrity), and Decay (advanced life), detailing how nutrition, sleep, digestion, exercise, and environmental factors influence wellbeing. Subsequent sections cover essential topics: food and clothing, stimulants and tobacco, inheritance, choosing a life vocation, overwork and mental strain, and broad hygiene, including housing, water supply, air quality, and sewage. The text blends scientific exposition with moral and social reflections on health, habit, education, and the duties of individuals to preserve their own vitality and that of society. Published in 1875 by G. P. Putnam’s Sons.
