By the same Author. SECOND EDITION. With 13 Illustrations. ESSAYS ON RURAL HYGIENE. LANCET. 'Well worthy of the serious consideration of those into whose hands is committed the control of the public health.' BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL.-Well worth reading. Dr. Poore attacks the local authority with much spirit, and with unanswerable logic on some points.' GLASGOW HERALD.-'A highly important book. The whole book is an education in itself. It is a volume to be read and re-read equally by householders and by professional sanitarians. Our only regret is that amid the flood of hygienic literature which is, year by year, turned loose upon the world, there are so few books of this type-fearless, honest, and scientific criticisms of existing errors, and full, likewise, of recommendations whereby these errors may be rectified.' SECOND THOUSAND. With 36 Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. THE DWELLING-HOUSE. TIMES.-'Dr. Poore does good service in hammering away at the folly of taking town sanitation as a model for more happily situated communities. When it comes to applying model by-laws, intended for large towns, to rural districts, and when rich men build country houses on the base model of the London "mansion," then he is justified in protesting. As a counterblast to the worship of such false gods his book is useful and welcome.' ENGINEER.-Lack of space prevents our quoting freely from the section headed "Remedies for Overcrowding," which is admirable, and should be read and re-read by sanitary authorities until they have thoroughly digested it.' LONGMANS, GREEN, & CO., 89 Paternoster Row, London, New York and Bombay. |
