Health Lectures, delivered in Manchester. Fifth Series, 1881.2. (Heywood.)—The Manchester
and Salford Sanitary Association has not only continued its system of delivering evening lectures, but has added thereto the very useful supplement of short discourses to workmen, after their mid-day meal, on the subjects discussed in the several lectures. Criticisms on the part of the workmen followed, and the suggestions then made have been utilised in preparing the lectures for the Press, doubtless adding to the clearness and direct- ness of the language employed. Preventable diseases were considered in the course here presented, in the form of a small book, issued at a very low price. One lecture, on "Infant Feeding," is no exception to the general drift of the series, since infant sickness and mortality may be enormously reduced by a better knowledge of the proper principles of feeding.
