Abstract
THIS pocket-book is intended to be of assistance to medical and sanitary officers in their work, by providing them with concise information upon subjects comprehended in the theory and practice of hygiene. The amount of information given is somewhat unequal, and we should hardly have thought it necessary to include such definitions as: “Adipose, fatty. Anhydrous, without water. Cardiac, pertaining to the heart. Caustic, any substance which destroys animal tissue. Combustion, the process of burning. Emanate, to issue or flow from. Morbid, diseased or unwholesome,” &c. Hertz's name is spelt Herz, and Lenard is printed Lennard, in the description of Röntgen rays.
A Pocket Dictionary of Hygiene.
