ADJUNCT PROFESSOR DAVIS.

In this course the chemical and bacterial contamination
of food, water, air, and soil first engages the attention of

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.
Notice is taken of the special relations involved in Military
and Naval Hygiene.
