HYGIENE.

Dr. Davis.

In this course the chemical and bacterial contamination of food, water, air
and soil first engages the attention of the student. With this preparation he
takes up the natural history of contagious and infectious diseases, their modes
of propagation and methods of prevention. Instruction is also given in the
proper location and construction of habitations, hospitals, school-houses, etc.,
with especial reference to modern methods of heating, ventilating and draining.
