    PREFACE This volume has been compiled as an elementary manual of hygiene and sanitation suitable for the non-medical reader and is designed especially for regimental officers and other ranks. The various types of sanitary apparatus and the construc- tion of field sanitary appliances have been dealt with very briefly, as these are subjects in which no acquisition of book knowledge can replace practical instruction. Barrack drainage has been omitted, as this subject is fully dealt with in other official publications. In conjunction with this manual the following should be studied :— King’s Regulations. Field Service Regulations, Vol. I, 1923:—Sections 27 (8) ; 89 (5); and 210 (8) ; and Chapter XXII. Field Service Regulations, Vol. II, 1924:—Sections 98 (4); 183 (2) ; 144; 150 to 152; 153 (1); 156; 164 (6 and 7); and Chapter XIIT. Instructions in the Care of Barracks. Management of Soldiers’ Messing. Elementary Physiology in its Relation to Hygiene. Those in search of more advanced information will find it in the following official publications :— Manual of Military Hygiene. Memoranda on Medical Diseases in Tropical and Sub- Tropical Areas. Medical History of the War, Hygiene of the War, Vols. I and II. By command of the Aymy Council, THE War OFFICE, and February, 1926,
