Abstract
THE preface declares that this book is intended as an introduction to hygiene for the student of medicine and also as a stimulus for the interested layman to introduce hygienic methods wherever this may be possible. The plan of the book is good in that the first part is devoted to the scientific foundations of hygiene, the association of physics and chemistry with biology and of biology with medicine. Subsequent parts deal with environmental hygiene, with nutrition, with medical statistics and public health organization, and the last part with bacteriology and serology.
