    By the same Author. SECOND EDITION. With IB Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 6s.6d. ESSAYS ON RURAL HYGIENE. Lancet.—‘Well worthy of the serious consideration of those into whose hands is committed the control of the public health.’ British Medical Journal.—‘ Well worth reading. Dr. Poore attacks the local authority with much spirit, and with unanswerable logic on some points.’ Glasgow Herald.—‘ A highly important book. The whole book is an education in itself. It is a volume to be read and re-read equally by house¬ holders and by professional sanitarians. Our only regret is that amid the flood of hygienic literature which is, year by year, turned loose upon the world, there are so few books of this type—fearless, honest, and scientific criticisms of existing errors, and full, likewise, of recommendations whereby these errors njay be rectified.’ SECOND THOUSAND. With 86 Illustrations. Crown Svo. 3s. 6d. THE DWELLING=HOUSE. Times.—‘ Dr. Poore does good service in hammering away at the folly of taking town sanitation as a model for more happily situated communities. . . . When it comes to applying model by-laws, intended for large towns, to rural districts, and when rich men build country houses on the base model of the London “ mansion,” then he is justified in protesting. As a counter¬ blast to the worship of such false gods his book is useful and welcome.’ Engineer.—‘ Lack of space prevents our quoting freely from the section headed “Remedies for Overcrowding,” which is admirable, and should be read and re-read by sanitary authorities until they have thoroughly digested it.’ With 13 Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 5s. THE EARTH IN RELATION TO THE PRESERVATION AND DESTRUCTION OF CONTAGIA: Being the Mtt.rov Lectures delivered at the Royal College of Physicians, 1899, together with other Papers on Sanitation. Johannesburg Star.—4 Dr. Poore has brought his earnest views on the important questions which are involved in modern scientific sanitation, before the general public, in a way which should secure that close attention which such a serious subject demands.’ Nature.—‘The book is a noteworthy one . . . the work of an original thinker and a lucid and polished writer.’ LONG-MANS, GREEN, & CO., 89 Paternoster Row, London, New York and Bombay.
