Excerpt from Tropical Hygiene: For Residents in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Climates Owing to the very favourable reception which has been accorded to this book, and to the fact that the Indian Council of the St. John Ambulance Association have distributed a considerable number of copies to oflicers of the Territorial units now serving in India, the second edition has been exhausted in less than a year. The present edition has been carefully revised, enlarged, and brought up-to-date. Amongst the various additions, we may mention a full description of Hookworm Disease and its Prevention, a dissertation on Goats' Milk and Malta Fever as well as two entirely new Chapters, one dealing with the Sanitation of Camps and the other with Hydrophobia in the Tropics. The authors sincerely hope that, like its predecessors, this edition may be found useful not only to students of Elementary Hygiene but to junior practi tioners and students of Medicine.
