A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This work is offered to those members of the medical profession whose path of duty lies on the trackless seas with the hope that the authors effort to supply a want will offset any short-comings on his part. Experience in teaching naval hygiene at the U.S. Naval Medical School has demonstrated to the writer the need of a students manual of elementary character, hence this attempt to supply it.
