Abstract
IN general character this book resembles those already available for students of elementary hygiene and public health. It is intended more particularly for students receiving lessons upon the lines of the syllabus of the Department of Science and Art, now the Board of Education, but it may also be used by other students. The order of treatment differs from that usually adopted, but it may be doubted whether in some cases the change is an improvement. A noteworthy point, however, is that, so far as possible, the physiological facts required to intelligently consider hygienic principles are dealt with as they are required, instead of being described in a separate section devoted to physiology. Another characteristic of the book is that simple experiments illustrating the points described are given at the ends of some of the chapters. There is still room for a book containing not only lecture experiments, but a good course of laboratory work to be done by individual students of hygiene.
