Excerpt from Health and Healthy Homes: A Guide to Domestic Hygiene
When I was requested by the Publishers to write a popular work on Health and Healthy Homes, I readily consented to do so because I believed then, as I do now, that a concise and practical treatise on this all-important subject was very much required. For although there are many excellent works which have been published of late years on health, there are very few indeed in which any attempt has been made to treat the whole subject, so far as it relates to the domain of Domestic Hygiene, in a systematic and comprehensive way. Some of them are devoted almost exclusively to a description of the various structures and uses of the organs of the human body; others to practical details concerning food and diet; others to causes of disease, and rules of life and conduct; while only a few contain special information concerning the home and its sur roundings, or the prevention of dangerous infectious disease.
