Excerpt from A Manual for Health Officers The aim of this volume, as a general guide for health officers, is clearly indicated in the Foreword. Its scope, however, as the work progressed, has been enlarged over that of a simple manual by the inclusion of a considerable amount of reference matter which it was thought should be thus readily available. And, while the needs of the local health office have dictated the content, certain portions of the volume - eg, those summarizing tuberculosis, infant hygiene and publicity work may be of service to persons engaged in the work of unofficial organizations concerned with those subjects.
