AMERICAN HEALTH PRIMERS. 



Edited by W, W, KEEN, M,D,, 



Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia ; Surgeon to 

 St. Mary's Hospital, etc. 



This series of American Health Primers is prepared to diffuse as widely and cheaply as possible, 

 among all classes, a knowledge of the elementary facts of Preventive Medicine, and the bearings and 

 applications of the latest and best researches in every branch of Medical and Hygienic Science. They 

 are not intended (save incidentally) to assist in curing disease, but to teach people how to take care of 

 themselves, their children, pupils, employees, etc. 



They are written from an American standpoint, with especial reference to our Climate, Sanitary 

 Legislation, and Modes of Life; and in these respects we differ materially from other nations. 



The subjects selected are of vital and practical importance in every -day life, and are treated in as 

 popular a style as is consistent with their nature. Each volume, when the subject calls for it, is fully 

 illustrated, so that the text may be clearly and readily understood by any one heretofore entirely 

 ignorant of the structure and functions of the body. The object being to furnish the general or un- 

 scientific reader, in a compact form and at a low price, reliable guides for the prevention of disease and 

 the preservation of both body and mind in a healthy state. 



The authors have been selected with great care, and on account of special fitness, each for his subject, 

 by reason of its previous careful study, either privately or as public teachers. 



Dr. Keen has supervised the Series, as Editor; but is not responsible for the statements or opinions 

 of the individual authors.
