Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book centers around the practical utility and necessity of incorporating scientific methodology into understanding and addressing hygiene. The author argues that hygiene, as an experimental science, is of recent origin and developed alongside progress in other pure sciences such as chemistry and physics. The author further argues that the experimental study of the etiology of infectious diseases has given hygiene its leading direction and secured for it recognition and support. This book discusses the historical figures, Pettenkofer and Fodor, who contributed to the development of hygienic science. It also discusses how the field of hygiene evolved around the study of soil conditions and their relationship to disease. The author explains how the discovery of micro-organisms and their power to cause disease led to the germ theory of disease and how this theory has shaped the field. Ultimately, this book makes the case for establishing institutes or laboratories for the promotion of the science of hygiene. These institutes would be responsible for investigating the causes of various diseases and discovering proper measures for their mitigation and ultimate extinction. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
