With partial and inaccurate knowledge progress may result, but is likely to be halting, limited and misdirected. There are few subjects Which the general public, and those who advise and form public opinion, are so much interested as in that of food. Um fortunately, much of the information Which reaches the public is unbalanced arid unequal in its presentation.

The title given to this series of treatises devoted to nonmedicinal therapeutics has been generally adopted as the best and most expressive for the methods discussed. At the time of its appearance the information contained in it could not be found in any other one place, and it has aided in calling forth much valuable study and many useful publica tions. This volume was devoted to a subject which had been written upon frequently but by few American authors with as much fullness.

During the present year the author had the pleasure of presenting an interpretation of this literature in the Thomas Clarence Cutter Lectures at the Harvard Medical School. Believing that the publication of these lectures would serve to answer many of the questions which have been asked in numerous letters from the public, they have been edited and presented in their present form.

C O'donnell OF the making of books on health, espe cially health books dealing with diet, there is no end. Particularly conspicuous are books on raw food, fasting, and other fads and fash ions. It is the author's Opinion that the gen eral reader lacks both the time and the technical training necessary to conduct experiments upon himself, and that the better way is to choose widely from the vast assortment of foodstuffs which Nature has provided, giving especial heed to heat and energy-producing values, di gestibility, assimilability, therapeutic effects, economy, etc. It is the author's purpose in the present work to afford data upon which to base such a selection, and he is convinced that a treatise of this kind will be found gen erally of greater practical value than one which advocates a rigid restriction of the diet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Poisoning and Food Infections In view of the increasing importance of the study of public hygiene and the recognition by doctors, teachers, administrators and members of Public Health and Hygiene Committees alike that the salus populi must rest, in part at least, upon a scientific basis, the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press have decided to publish a series of volumes dealing with the various subjects connected with Public Health. The books included in the Series present in a useful and handy form the knowledge now available in many branches of the subject. They are written by experts, and the authors are occupied, or have been occupied, either in investigations connected with the various themes or in their application and administration. They include the latest scientific and practical information offered in a manner which is not too technical. The bibliographies contain references to the literature of each subject which will ensure their utility to the specialist. It has been the desire of the editors to arrange that the books should appeal to various classes of readers: and it is hoped that they will be useful to the medical profession at home and abroad, to bacteriologists and laboratory students, to municipal engineers and architects, to medical officers of health and sanitary inspectors and to teachers and administrators. Many of the volumes will contain material which will be suggestive and instructive to members of Public Health and Hygiene Committees; and it is intended that they shall seek to influence the large body of educated and intelligent public opinion interested in the problems of public health.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food and Fitness, or Diet in Relation to Health TO a large extent health is a matter Of educa tion. I have been engaged for a long series Of years in a study Of the feeding Of the live-stock Of the farm, both on its scientific and practical sides, and I find that the knowledge displayed by owners Of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry is much more profound than that which applies to themselves. In relation to stock the Object Of the feeder is to provide what will ensure health and a profitable return. He supplies not what an animal would Choose if it could, but what he thinks is the best for his purpose. With regard to himself it is quite the reverse. He consumes not what is the best food for his system, but what pleases his palate, eating as Often and as much as he likes. Argument is futile, demonstration is hopeless, for most people insist that all things are good for their stomachs, or that one man's meat is another man's poison. The number Of deaths, between 60 and 70, Of men who should live many years longer, from diseases attributable to excessive eating, or to eating improper foods, is probably greater than that which is due to the consumption Of alcohol.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Public Health: The New Public Health and Tuberculosis To abolish any one race of disease germs is far easier than to destroy some much larger things. Thus to abolish ﬂies means not only kill ing all flies, indoors in all houses everywhere. In all stables everywhere, in and around all dwell ings everywhere, but also throughout all fields and forests. Mountains and valleys everywhere. Because ﬂies are hardy outdoor beings as well as indoor beings. They can breed and ﬂourish al most anywhere. Where any kind of food, even in vanishing quantity, is to be had. Moreover, they can move of their own volition with promptness and despatch. Have quick eyes and quicker wings to escape designing enemies. And in a thousand ways can take care of themselves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Food Journal, 1871, Vol. 1: A Review of Social and Sanitary Economy, and Monthly Record of Food and Public Health; Containing Numbers 1 to 12 The plan proposed by Mr. Postle, of Sydney, is to stop short of the freezing point, but to keep the air artificially cooled to within one or two degrees above it. This he attains by a very simple applica tion of the laws of heat, in which the air in expanding is made to compress fresh air, so that a large percentage of the power excited in compression, is regained by utilising its expansive force. In practice, Mr. Postle would fit up a ship, holding some thousand carcases, with iron bins, and distribute equally through them cold currents of air, which would return to the machine to be reduced again to the proper temperature.
