![beginning of the pregnant twentieth century, rest for a moment from discovering, developing, and improving the world outside our personal selves and concentrate our attention for a while on learning to know and care for ourselves? May we not, at least, give horse sense atten- tion to such a vital interest ? In the midst of the present confusion which exists among opinions as to the right conduct of life and activity, and the best manner and system of diet to be used to secure health and efficiency, it seems almost a vain appeal to call for concert of action in a matter of com- mon and persistent neglect. Each person, as his own keeper, is careless, and in matters of bodily management no one feels called upon to be his brother's keeper; but this is merely the lethargy of oversight and consequent igno- rance, and this book is published to call atten- tion to the oversight and to attempt to dispel the ignorance. At the present moment of writing (October, 1903) there are quartered at New Haven, Con- necticut, twenty privates of the Hospital Corps of the United States Army and three non-com- missioned officers, under the command of As- sistant Surgeon, Lieutenant Wallace DeVVitt.
