This admirable little work is in two parts. The first part deals somewhat generally with the subjects of infection, disinfections, antitoxins, and the like. The second part Ideals specifically in separate chapters, each a valuable monograph, with the bubonic plague, Asiatic cholera, typhoid fever, dysentery and its variants, relapsing fever, typhus fever, tuberculosis, leprosy, diphtheria, influenza, pneumonia, whooping cough, smallpox, scarlet fever, measles, malarial fevers, yellow fever, wound infections, tetanus, and hydrophobia. None of these chapters is calculated to give the reader information which would make him obstinate as a patient or inspire him with the idea that he could be safely independent of his physician. They assist him to a broad comprehension of the subject, and impress him with the personal advantage and public duty of wisely planned and carefully observed precautions against permitting isolated cases to become the foct of infection. The book is conspicuously useful from this point of view, besides being of interest to the general reader.
