Samuel Cate Prescott Elements of Water Bacteriology

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The general awakening of the community to the importance of the arts of sanitation - accelerated by the rapid growth of cities and the new problems of urban life - demands new and accurate methods for the study of the microbic world. Bacteriology has long since ceased to be a subject of interest and importance to the medical profession merely, but has become intimately connected with the work of the chemist, the biologist, and the engineer. To the sanitary engineer and the public hygienist a knowledge of bacteriology is indis pensable.
