REVIEW QUESTIONS 135 



opment of a disease which is caused by bacteria is due 

 to their growth within the body. If the body is in a 

 good condition the bacteria will be overcome by forces 

 within the body ; it is usually a weak body which is easily 

 attacked by bacteria. Thus the best way to prevent 

 being- sick is to take good care of the body. This means 

 eating the proper food, sleeping enough and not doing 

 anything which is harmful to the body. It means bodily 

 cleanliness and clean houses. It means good ventilation, 

 plenty of sunlight, and breathing fresh air both day and 

 night. 



Cleanliness, if complete, is the greatest help to sani- 

 tation. Sanitation means freedom from harmful bacteria.
