Excerpt from Nature's Hygiene: A Systematic Manual of Natural Hygiene, Containing a Detailed Account of the Chemistry and Hygiene of Eucalyptus, Pine, and Camphor Forests, and Industries Connected Therewith In preparing this further edition of "Nature's Hygiene," I have carefully revised the whole work, with the view of bringing it into thorough accord with existing information of the subjects which are dealt with therein; and I have added an account of my own recent investigations concerning the comparative action of a number of antiseptics, the precise chemical history of various fermentative and digestive processes, the chemistry of Camphor Oil and Russian Turpentine, and some other subjects. The account of Camphor Forests and the collection of Camphor Oil and its uses, is a new feature of the work; and in addition to enlarging most of the chapters, so that they deal more comprehensively with all aspects of Nature's Hygiene, I have throughout the book endeavoured, as opportunity offered, to clearly indicate tire precise relations, as cause and effect, which are now known to exist between micro-organic life and so-called infectious or coutagious diseases.
