Dr. Allen prevention is a text and the making of 

 sound citizens a sermon. In " Civics and Health " he 

 sounds a slogan which should awaken every community in 

 this country to its opportunities in municipal reform. Every 

 teacher who reads this book will gain a new sense of duty 

 in matters of hygiene and sanitation. 



Civics and Health is enthrallingly interesting. It is humanized 

 sociology. Cleaning up children by scientific illumination will appeal 

 to every father and mother, every child lover who has any patriotism 

 or desire to learn how we as a people are to make moral-reform agita- 

 tions fruitful through health of American children, and so establish 

 health of national lite. Boston Transcript. 



This is one of the books we wish the law required every citizen to 

 have in his house and to know by heart. Then, indeed, mankind would 

 have made an immense stride forward. Chicago Medical Recorder. 



The book is alive from cover to cover. It breathes reform, but not 

 of the platform variety. It abounds in ugly facts, but superabounds in 

 the statement of best methods of getting rid of this ugliness. As 

 claimed by the publishers, it is preeminently a book on " getting things 

 done." Hygiene and Physical Education, Springfield, Mass.
