Excerpt from Divine Hygiene, Vol. 1: Sanitary Science and Sanitarians of the Sacred Scriptures and Mosaic Code
The birth of the present book dates back to the year 1878 and the selection of a theme for a Church lecture. The germ idea and this culminated in the publication in 1879 of the volume "Bible Hygiene by a Physician." The manuscript had previously been submitted to two friends: one a learned Divine and poet, the Rev. E. O. Flagg, D.D., of New York City and the Anglican Church of America, to testify to its theological orthodoxy; and the other, a devout and skilled physician, the late Henry Hales, of Reigate, England, to do the same for its medical soundness. The volume had great critical press success: its object being mainly fivefold, namely, to shew: -
1st. What a deep mine of most important medico-hygienic information the Holy Bible is.
2nd. To prove that this is directly or indirectly Divine; and neither an emanation from Moses, nor subsequently interpolated.
3rd. Also that the profundity, value, and Divinity of the Scriptural sanitary hints are nowhere more evident than in their earliest and most ancient portions - the Sinaitic or so-called "Mosaic" law, which came direct from Jehovah.
4th. To point out what a super-eminent, specially evolved and Divinely-led genius Moses was; not in one but in all of the many departments included in the comprehensive Sinaitic law; and in none more than the medical.
