The ,f Section for Public Health Service" of ^f2nd raeeting of German naturalists 



and physicians selected a cornmission consisting of physicians and technicians and 



assigned to it not only various important business duties for the successful activi- 



ty of the ^3rd meeting, but also the proposal, which received many-sided approval to 



establish a literary central organ for public health service. 



The undersigned members of the elected cornmission receive in confidence the 

 promised support of countless colleagues and namely of the members of the Dresden 

 hygienic section, in that since 1869 they publish such a magazine under the above title. 



If we have refrained from selecting for that purpose a magazine already existing, 

 in which hygienic subjects are treated, it is because these magazines, as far as they 

 have a scientific character, either give mixed treatment to the M public health service" 

 only with other branches of medical science (usually with "forensic medicine") or 

 are only written by physicians and for physicians. 



However, for the effective furtherance of the public health Service with the 

 present standing of the latter, we consider; a magazine necessary, which partly is 

 dedicated exclusively to hygiene, partly not only physicians but also construction 

 technicians, chemists, engineers and other experts in individual fields, partly under 

 preservation of its scientific character, its readers in no way only among physicians 

 and medical officials, but among all seeks the one,y who by virtue of his profession 

 and his social position is concerned with the improvement of the public health service, 

 also among the administrative officials, officers of the army and navy, teachers, 

 shipowners, lif^-insurance companies, factory masters, but namely also among the 

 members of the communal-authority. 



We have selected the form of a quarter-yearly publication, because it must also 

 provide adäquate space for longer scientific works. 



The magazine will set itself the task to publish new facts, to further their 

 practical utilization, and to advance every scientifically based aim unpre judiced.
