Excerpt from The Prevention of Disease, Vol. 1 of 2
It is impracticable in an introduction such as this to con vey an adequate idea of the precise scope of the present work, which extends over nearly pages, and a brief indication of the ground it covers can alone be attempted. The volume Opens with a section by Dr. Gold schmidt, dealing with the principles of the prevention of disease, and furnishing a short, and highly instructive, survey of the prophylactic methods in vogue among the Hindus and Chinese, the Israelites, Egyptians, Assyrians, and others. This is followed by a historical sketch of the growth of general preventive measures, such as the provision of public water supplies, refuse disposal, etc and under this section there is an interesting account of the gradual development of the prophylactic idea in respect of the control and examination of meat, more particularly in Germany. It will be well that some of our lethargic local sanitary authorities shall learn that in Augsburg, as early as 1276, the slaughter of cattle was prohibited except in slaughter houses, and that in 1716, in Hanover, it was ordained that all cattle should be examined while still alive, and that, if healthy, a mark should be branded upon their horns.

Excerpt from The Prevention of Disease, Vol. 1 of 2
It has been the endeavour of those concerned in the translation of this work to render the meaning of the original into readable English. To effect this it has in many places been found necessary to break up into convenient portions the lengthy sentences which are so frequently met with in German scientific literature, but which are alien to English; and so far as possible the presentment of German idioms in English words has been avoided. Great attention has been paid to rendering the scientific terms and expressions by their correct English equivalents.
Here and there slight omissions have been made, nearly always for the purpose of abbreviation or condensation. It has not however been deemed advisable to modify any of the statements of the original, although there must necessarily be numerous points on which there is room for two opinions.
