Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Domestic Hygiene
The health of the community being closely identified with the health of the individual, patriotism and a desire for self-preservation ought equally to prompt each person to keep well. How to secure this end is the object of the study of Hygiene. Hygiene, however, is based largely upon Anatomy and Physiology hence, to follow the one an elementary know ledge of the others is absolutely necessary.
Life in its simplest form is typified in the simple amoeba. Man himself is but a conglomeration of differential amoeboid masses; and just as any departure from a state of health of any one group of protoplasmic masses in the human body tends to disturb the whole human being, so in a com munity of human beings the disease of any single individual reacts upon and is a source of danger to the whole of that society.
