Health Lectures, Delivered in Manchester. Fourth and Fifth Series.

lectures were delivered, is doing excellent work. Its functions do not end with telling people about cleanliness, food, clothing, nursing, disease, infection, and houses and their management, but it gives practical aid in sanitary matters to the local authorities, and pro- vides a practical system of house inspection. Lectures form a part only of its scheme, but they are of particular service in drawing attention to the needs of greater care and sounder knowledge as to domestic and sanitary matters, and the conditions of personal health. The seventeen lectures here printed include a wide range of subjects, and are one and all clearly written, and fall of sound advice.
