Abstract
THE appearance of yet another elementary text-book upon the subject of Hygiene has the effect of aggravating the embarras de rickesses which already obtains in this department of study; one is therefore justified in questioning the utility of the present volume, and on reading in the preface that it is adapted to the requirements of the Science and Art Department, there is all the more matter for surprise at its appearance in the face of three other publications—each better than the present—which have been written to meet the same end.
An Elementary Text-Book of Hygiene.
