About the Author

IT may seem rather daring at first blush to write a book on such a topic. If, however, human intelligence, as nobody can deny, depends on the normal function of the brain, there can be no reason why the latter could not just as well be influenced by a number of hygienic and therapeutic means, as, for instance, the functions of the heart or of the kidney. In continuation of my books on a hygienic mode of living and correct feeding, I now have made an attempt to suggest a number of means for the health of the mind based upon a hygienic-physiologic foundation, as even very distinguished scholars sin against the simplest requirements of hygiene and carry on such a destructive wasting of their mental faculties that they become used up prematurely. Being engaged with many complex questions, these gentlemen sin against a sensible mode of living, and the consequence is a premature breakdown. It is, therefore, no wonder that so many great scholars and naturalists manifest signs of arteriosclerosis of the blood-vessels of the brain too soon, and become mentally diseased. Still worse is it that, through an entirely wrong and unhygienic way of education and instruction, which violate the laws of the most elementary hygiene and reason, a destruction of the mental faculties of children is carried on under the protection and sanction of the State authorities. Everything is taught in our school but plain human common sense!
