Excerpt from Handbook on Sanitation: A Manual of Theoretical and Practical Sanitation This handbook, written and published twelve years ago, has been revised considerably and brought up to date for its third edition. Primarily intended for health, sanitary, tenement, and other inspectors, the book has enabled a great many persons to gain the rudiments of sanitary science and to fit themselves for positions in the State and municipal services. It is also used as a text-book in some schools and colleges. Municipal sanitation has made giant strides within the last two decades, and the number of persons making a study of sanitary problems, to whom, therefore, such a volume as this may be of service, is constantly increasing. The handbook was practically the first in the field in this country and has reached a wide circle of readers and friends in spite of its shortcomings, of which the author is well cognizant, and which I have endeavored to, remove in this third edition. I regret that my other official and private duties have made it impossible for me to rewrite the entire book. Besides, however, the many corrections throughout the volume, the chapter.
