Examen Químico y Bacteriológico de las Aquas Potables

Abstract

A PECULIAR interest attaches to this work at the present moment in consequence of the sad political events now going on in the country from which it has emanated; for, whilst almost each successive day brings news of the sacrifice of human life in one of the fiercest and most sanguinary civil contests of recent years, the object of this book is to show how the latest results of scientific research may be applied to combating on the same soil some of the ills which flesh is heir to. The publication of this treatise for Chilian students affords the strongest evidence of the rapidity with which scientific knowledge traverses the globe at the present day, and it must be a source of great satisfaction to all interested in the dissemination of the principles of hygiene that there should be a demand for a work of such an advanced character in a country so remote from what we are wont to regard as the centres of civilization.
