Excerpt from The Soil in Relation to Health
A wish is frequently expressed by medical men, more especially by those entering the public health service, for some small book on the principles geology in so far as they concern sanitary science. There is, so far as we are aware, no text-book on the subject, and it is necessary to consult the large works on geology and hygiene, and combine the information obtained from the two sources - an extremely difficult and unsatisfactory task.
It is with the object of supplying this deficiency and also in order to emphasise the need of some slight geological knowledge in matters of sanitary science that the following pages are written; and at the present time, when it is to individual effort rather than to legislative compulsion that we look for sanitary progress, some points in the book may be of interest to the householder as well as to the medical man.
