Climate and Health in Hot Countries and the Outlines of Tropical Climatology / A Popular Treatise on Personal Hygiene in the Hotter Parts of the World, and on the Climates That Will Be Met Within Them.

Practical guidance for living in hot climates combines a popular manual of personal tropical hygiene with an appended survey of tropical climatology. The first part gives nontechnical advice on sanitation, water safety, clothing, acclimatization, and prevention and treatment of common tropical illnesses, together with lists of useful remedies and cautions for newcomers and military personnel. The second part assembles meteorological observations and tabulated climate data for various regions so readers can assess environmental risks and plan travel or residence. The emphasis is on adapting habits and sanitary practice to local conditions rather than on heroic settlement.
