Présentation de l'éditeur
This book aims to promote good health mindividuals and in conmiunities. To keep ourselves healthy in all situations of our complicated society to-day requires a clear understanding of the normal activities of the human body. For this reason the book starts with a brief explanation of the working of the vital machine. The functions of the body are then taken up in greater detail and are related to the life of the community. Rules of conduct for healthful living are developed and applied, with special emphasis on the reasons for these rules. Ancient traditions of doubtful value are discarded and all pi-ecepts are modern and scientific. The topics are made as practical and interesting as possible, not only by simple, common-sense treatment, but by copious illustrations and searching questionnaires. These latter are put, not at the ends of chapters, but after each topic, so as to assure a mastery of the subject in hand, before the pupil proceeds. Every effort has been made to furnish material which will enable the pupil to safeguard his own and the conmiunity shealth; yet the importance of the physician is recognized and consultation with him is urged in all but the very simplest cases of illness. The development of civic spirit is one of the definite aims of this book. The dependence of community health upon personal health is constantly emphasized and the importance of quarantine and of precautions against contagion is constantly brought out.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
