Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from War With Disease The first three editions of this book were sold almost exclusively to the army at home and abroad, while the fourth was bought largely by the public. Recently, a demand coming from officers and men of the Territorial Army enables me to bring out a fifth edition of "War with Disease." The book has now been sold in every country where the British flag flies, the frequent orders from India being specially gratifying. I have to thank the many commanding officers who have paid me the compliment of having parts of the lectures read out regularly to their men. Since I first delivered the lectures contained in this little book, I have had the honour of repeating them to the officers of the Staff College in Camberley. For this audience I went a little more deeply into the scientific reasons for the suggestions I made. Were I to redeliver the lectures, I could in many cases change recommendations into reports of the actual results of the effects produced by carrying out the plan of campaign recommended in "War with Disease." These results are in all respects most gratifying. Indeed, in more than one case commanding officers have been able to inform me that the result of acting upon the principles laid down has been a "clean bill of health for the regiment," and statistics prove how greatly the health of the Army, as a whole, has improved within the past two years. I do not attempt to take any credit for this, but as one who has taken some part in directing the fight against disease, the fact that the fight is a winning one gives me very great pleasure. The lectures are here reproduced exactly as they were delivered at the Staff College, in October, 1906, without any alterations or additions.
