Excerpt from Outlines of Rural Hygiene for Physicians, Students, and Sanitarians The almost absolute neglect of sanitary rules in districts outside of the great cities, and the absence of special attention to this branch of sanitation in the larger and more elaborate treatises, have called forth this work. That it may aid in the diffusal of sanitary knowledge where most needed, and that it may assist those who labor in rural districts, is the earnest wish of the author. Much of the substance of the work has appeared from time to time in various medical periodicals, but all has been carefully revised. The author has drawn largely from numerous Health Reports, and hereby acknowledges his obligation to all such as are not especially mentioned.
