Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Disinfection and the Preservation Food: Together With an Account of the Chemical Substances Used as Antiseptics and Preservatives
Medical publications, and, notwithstanding the rapid development of Sanitary Science in this country, there does not exist at the present time, in the English language, any book which deals exclusively with the composition of Disinfectants.
The present volume may, therefore, supply a want which has been felt, not only by the chemist and bacteriologist, but also by all those who, like medical officers and borough surveyors, are concerned with the practical work of Disinfection.
Owing to the attention which has been given to bacteriological science during the last ten years, the methods of Disinfection are now being reviewed under the more exact conditions which this knowledge has rendered possible. The time is not far distant when the importance of thorough disinfection of all suspected areas will be fully realised by local authorities, and when all such work will be entrusted to specially qualified men, instead of being regarded as the subsidiary duty of the inspector of nuisances. The Sanitary Institute of Great Britain has for some years insisted that the duties of a Sanitary Inspector are such as to necessitate a consider able amount of practical experience and scientific knowledge. If, as at present, the proper carrying out of the work of Disinfection forms part of their duties, the responsibility of such men is considerably augmented.
