Excerpt from Public Health and Hygiene: In Contributions by Eminent Authorities The writers Of this book, holding the above opinions, believed that there was need Of a volume in which the most important phases Of hygiene in relation to public health would be presented in a practical way by specialists actually devoting themselves to the subjects treated bv them. The writers have kept in mind that the book is intended for public health Officials, physicians and medical students, and each has therefore tried to make his section as practical as possible and to utilize oto the full his own personal experience. For this reason it has been impractical in most instances to give credit for the original sources of information embodied in the articles. No attempt has been made in this volume to treat the subjects of public health law and administration as these do not fall Within its scope. Other subjects more or less related to public health have been omitted because of the necessity of drawing the line somewhere in order not to increase too greatly the size of the book.
