Physiology and Hygiene for Secondary Schools
by Francis M. (Francis Marion) Walters
About the author
Born in 1862, Francis M. Walters is credited in library and book records as Francis Marion Walters. He wrote educational works on physiology, hygiene, and health for students and general readers, including Physiology Class-Book, Physiology and Hygiene for Secondary Schools, The Elements of Physiology, and The Principles of Health Control.
His writing is direct and instructional, with a strong emphasis on teaching how the body works and how healthy habits support everyday life. In Physiology and Hygiene for Secondary Schools, he explains that the book was designed both to present physiology in a teachable way and to connect hygiene with the practical idea of "right living."
Reliable biographical details beyond his birth year are limited in the sources I could confirm, so this overview focuses on the work itself. What comes through clearly is a teacherly voice: careful, organized, and interested in helping readers understand health as something that can be learned and practiced.
