A COMPREHENSIVE TREATISE
Principles and Practice of Preventive Medicine
Preface To The First Edition
The aim of the author in writing this book has been to place in the hands of the American student, practitioner, and sanitary officer, a trustworthy guide to the principles and practice of preventive medicine.
He has endeavored to gather within its covers the essential facts upon which the art of preserving health is based, and to present these to the reader in clear and easily understood language.
The author cannot flatter himself that much in the volume is new. He hopes nothing in it is untrue.
Preface To The Second Edition
In the present edition the author has endeavored to incorporate the advances made in sanitary science and art since the issue of the first edition.
Additions will be found upon nearly every page, and some of the chapters have been almost entirely rewritten. The size of the book has been increased about one hundred pages, and illustrations have been introduced wherever thought requisite. The thanks of the author are due to Medical Director Albert L. Gihon, United States Navy, for revising the chapter on Naval Hygiene, and to Surgeon Walter Wyman, United States Marine-Hospital Service, for supplying the chapter on Quarantine.
