Excerpt from Seventh International Congress of Hygiene and Demography: Reports of the Meetings and Discussions Held in London, August 10-17, 1891 In addition to the reports of the Congress, the book contains new and valuable papers relating to the sanitary work now carried on in London. Those interested in this subject will find in the foregoing pages much reliable information given by those whose lives are spent in combating preventible disease. A brief glance at the index will show the wide scope of the subjects dealt with; and it is our hope that the present work may be the means of arousing greater interest in, and wider knowledge of, the all important branch of modern science - Public Health.
