| Summary |
"Hand-book of Sanitary Information for Householders" by Roger Sherman Tracy is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a comprehensive guide aimed at educating householders on crucial sanitary practices related to air quality, drainage, and food safety. It encompasses a range of topics including ventilation, the management of contagious diseases, and methods for ensuring safe food and water. The opening portion introduces the overall aim of the book, which is to consolidate and simplify sanitary information that has been too scattered or technical for the average householder to easily grasp. Tracy outlines the importance of good air, food, and water for health, emphasizing that the book will provide practical facts and suggestions across various chapters. Detailed contents reflect a structured approach to topics like air composition, ventilation methods, drainage systems, and food adulteration, aiming to equip readers with knowledge necessary for maintaining a healthy living environment.
