    way complete, but we hope that they may be found of material use to those desirous of referring to matters in their original form. Throughout the work we have steadily kept in view the importance of freely illustrating the text. To Dr Thresh and to Mr Casella we are indebted for several blocks. To Surgeon-Colonel L. A. Irvmg, A.M.S., we owe our thanks for the drawings from which Plate I. has been prepared; while to Dr S. Abbott of the Massachusetts State Board of Health we desure to express our acknowledgments for the loan of blocks used in the construction of Plate II. Many of the other illustrations have been drawn for us by Mrs Bruce and by Miss Triscott. It is not without some diffidence we offer this book to the public, as we are aware of its imperfections; but, at the same time, we are conscious of having spared no labour in endeavouring to bring it thoroughly up to date, in order to render it not only a mere text-book for those preparing for examinations m Hygiene, but also a compre- hensive and reliable work of reference and guidance for those engaged in the often difficult but always responsible duty of being the sanitary advisers to local authorities, as well as for those employed in naval and military duties.
