Excerpt from Hygiene of Communicable Diseases: A Handbook for Sanitarians, Medical Officers of the Army
The aim of this manual is to present in a concise and readily accessible form the information now available concerning epidemiology and the management of the communicable diseases, ashore and afloat. "With this end in view their various phases have been carefully separated so that the reader may quickly obtain the information sought on any particular point under all conditions of civil, military, and naval life. The writer"s experience as a medical officer and sanitarian in different parts of the world leads him to believe that such a presentation of the subjects of epidemiology, prophylaxis, and sanitation will save the time of the physician, sanitarian, sanitary engineer, missionary, or medical officer, and be of real, practical value to him when lie is confronted with the danger or is in the actual presence of any of the communicable diseases, whether in sporadic, endemic, or epidemie form. The sanitary measures and procedures indicated in various emergencies and under varying conditions are described in carefully headed sections, sub-sections and paragraphs in a manner that, it is hoped, will enhance the value of the book as a work of ready reference. New features are considered; sanitary measures following great disasters, for example, have not heretofore been discussed in a textbook. In Part II each disease is considered separately, and directions are given for its control. The general plan of this part of the work is that followed by the Committee on Standard Regulations of the American Public Health Association in their report entitled, "The Control of Communicable Diseases," published as Reprint No. 436 from the Public Health Reports.
