Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Past and Present Condition of Public Hygiene and State Medicine in the United States
It is the exercise of this function, the prevention of disease, which forms the first and most important duty of sanitary authorities.
In a monograph of this character the various topics per taining to public hygiene must necessarily be treated in an extremely concise, condensed manner, and must also be shorn of extended details. It is for this reason, therefore, that a few tables of statistics have been introduced in order that the facts relating to the subjects may be given in the least possible space.
