Abstract
THIS manual is designed to meet the requirements of those seeking to obtain a diploma in public health, though at the same time the authors take the opportunity of referring to most questions now uppermost in public health work. A few of the chapters have been contributed by writers having special knowledge of the subjects dealt with,” tuberculosis and sanitary administration and law, by Dr. James Niven; school hygiene, by Dr. Kenneth Eraser; venereal disease, by Mr. Kenneth Walker; chemical disinfectants, by Dr. Wynter Blyth; and air, by Dr. King Brown. The arrangement of the matter and contents of the chapters follow well-known lines and present little or no novelty. The book is well produced, is illustrated with 94 figures in the text, and is very readable.
