Abstract
THIS work is not a treatise on the principles of sanitation, and, in fact, these principles are rarely referred to; it is rather a compendium of sanitary practice in the United States of America. The author devotes but little space to an expression of his own views, but his opinions whenever given are such as will meet with very general approval. In the introduction he states that the preparation of the present volume was primarily undertaken to meet his personal needs. An investigation along several lines of public health work suggested the utility of a comprehensive study of sanitary methods, and, as a consequence, this volume was prepared, in the hope that the material gathered together will prove as useful to other health officers as it has to the author.
Municipal Sanitation in the United States.
