Excerpt from Preventive Medicine and Hygiene This book has been written in response to a demand for a treatise based upon modern progress in hygiene and sanitation. The work is planned to include those fields of the medical and related sciences which form the foundation of public health work. So far as I know, no other book on the subject covers the broad field considered in this volume. The progress in hygiene and sanitation has been so rapid that the subject of preventive medicine has become a specialty, and its scope has become so broad that the question throughout the making of this book has been rather what to leave out than what to include. The facts here brought together are widely scattered in the literature and many of them are difficult of access; they have been collected for the convenience of the student of medicine and the physician, as well as those engaged in sanitary engineering or public health work. During twenty-three years of varied experience in public health work it has been my good fortune to have served as quarantine officer, in epidemic campaigns, in epidemiological investigations, and in public health laboratories, at home, on the Continent, and in the tropics. The fruits of these experiences are reflected in this book, which may be taken as representing my personal views gained in the field, in the laboratory, in the classroom, and in administrative offices.

Excerpt from The Field of Disease: A Book of Preventive Medicine The prevention, no less than the cure of disease, is now understood to belong to the function of the physician, to whom alone the public can look for protection as well as for rescue. As the author very truly says: "The conception that these afflictions can be prevented is of modern times, and indeed we may say practically of the present century, or even of the later two-thirds of the present century;" and it would seem that the time had now come in which the results of the investigations and experience as to the relations between health and disease should be summed up, not only for present use but as a starting-point for further acquisitions in this supremely important field of knowledge. Although Dr. Richardson assumes that the present volume is intended primarily for the public, the publishers have, for the reason just stated, no hesitation in laying it before the profession, being advised that it contains much with which every physician should be familiar, while there is no work in the language in which the information hero presented can be sought, systematically arranged, and intelligibly presented.

Excerpt from Text-Book of Hygiene: A Comprehensive Treatise on the Principles and Practice of Preventive Medicine From an American Standpoint The aim of the editor has been to preserve in the book the qualities which made it one of the most popular text-books on hygiene in the English language. As no one man can be a specialist in all branches of hygiene and sanitation, it was necessary to secure the assistance of other men. This had been done by the author in the former editions of this book, and the plan has been followed by the editor in the present edition, with this exception, however: in the present edition credit to the several eminent contributors is given here in the preface.

Excerpt from Hygiene and Public Health In view of the great advances in the science and practice of Public Health since the first appearance of this Manual in 1890, the present edition (the tenth) has been revised, rearranged, and, where neces sary, rewritten. In recent years many important additions to the oficial duties of Medical Officers of Health have been made, and fuller application of scientific knowledge is now required in preventive medicine. The object of the Manual is mainly to present a concise summary of the present position, for the purposes of the Medical Oficer of Health and of the student.

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Practice of Preventive Medicine The banner Province of the Dominion of Canada, Ontario, now spends about 2 per cent of its total revenue in this way. The capital city of that Province, Toronto, does likewise. The motto of the New York State Department of Health is: Public Health is purchasable; within natural limitations any community can deter mine its own death rate. This motto is being literally applied in these, as in many other places. It is probable that in a short time no province, state or municipality will be found wanting in this important matter.

Excerpt from Public Health and Preventive Medicine Taking into consideration the main object of the volume, and in the endeavour to secure the utmost compression, it has been decided to exclude what would be a very lengthy bibliography, though the names of authorities are frequently quoted. N o attempt has been made to deal fully with laboratory work, but as some reference to it was absolutely necessary, the rationale of the various processes has in each instance been given, and, we believe, will be found useful by the student in the way of recalling his practical work and refreshing his memory. Our thanks are due to all those whose writings have aided us, and also to those who in other ways have rendered us assistance. We are specially indebted to Dr. Harvey Littlejohn for much kind advice, criticism, and the loan of literature on various branches.
