Rural Hygiene
By HENRY N. OGDEN, C.E.
Professor of Sanitary Engineering, College of Civil
Engineering, Cornell University, and Special Assistant
Engineer of the New York State Department of Health
_Illustrated, decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net; by mail, $1.68_
"Farmers and other dwellers outside of cities will find
Professor Henry N. Ogden's 'Rural Hygiene' an invaluable
treatise on all matters pertaining to the health of the
individual and the community. The author, a civil engineer in
the faculty of Cornell University, deals with the structural
side of public hygiene rather than with the medical side. He
tells how houses and barns should be built so as to promote
the good health of their occupants; how to manage
ventilation, drainage, water supply, etc.; how waterworks
should be built, what are the best kinds of power, how to
arrange the plumbing, guard against sewage, and so on. . . .
It is an unusually complete, practical, and readable
treatise."
