Synopsis

Excerpt from General Hygiene

The personal welfare of each individual depends largely on the efficiency Of his bodily machinery. The effects of mental and moral habits on the health of the body have long been known, but the recognition of the effects of bodily health upon the mind and the moral character is of recent date. Bodily health is readily within the control of either the individual himself or his parents. The modern science Of hygiene and sanitation is founded upon the idea of personal responsibility of each individual for both the transmission and the acquisition of most diseases.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

The personal welfare of each individual depends largely on the efficiency of his bodily machinery. The effects of mental and moral habits on the health of the body have long been known, but the recognition of the effects of bodily health upon the mind and the moral character is of recent date. Bodily health is readily within the control of either the individual himself or his parents. The modern science of hygiene and sanitation is founded upon the idea of personal responsibility of each individual for both the transmission and the acquisition of most diseases. The experiences of sailors and of explorers in uninhabited lands prove that a small number of healthy persons, separated from the rest of their fellows, and moving from place to place, will be remarkably free from diseases and infirmities in spite of hardships and exposure. The preservation of the same degree of healthfulness in the midst of crowded communities is one of the greatest problems of modern life; and it will be solved only when every person acquires a knowledge of the elementary principles of modern hygiene and sanitation. This is a textbook on the general subjects of hygiene and sanitation.

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.
