Excerpt from Infectious Diseases: Notification and Prevention The present work has been undertaken with the object of placing in the hands of the profession a small compact volume containing all the enact ments in force in England and Wales dealing with infectious diseases. Explanatory notes have been introduced, and the sections have been re-arranged in an order which appeared to the author to be a little more consequential than that pursued in the Acts themselves, which are somewhat chaotic in their arrangement, as the result of the amendments they were subjected to during their passage through the Houses of Parliament, or of original defective drafting.
