THOUGH it is of the greatest importance that books upon health
 should be in the highest degree trustworthy, it is notorious that
most of the cheap and popular kind are mere crude compilations of
incompetent persons, and are often misleading and injurious. Im-
pressed by these considerations, several eminent medical and scien-
tific men of London have combined to prepare a series of HEALTH
PmixM s of a character that shall be entitled to the fullest confidence.
They are to be brief, simple, and elementary in statement, filled with
substantial and useful information suitable for the guidance of grown-
up people. Each primer will be written by a gentleman specially
competent to treat his subject, while the critical supervision of the
books is in the hands of a committee who will act as editors.
 SAs .these little books are produced by English authors, they are
naturally based very mich upon English experience, but it matters
little whence illustrations upon such subjects are drawn, because the
essential conditions of avoiding disease and preserving health are to
a great degree everywhere the same.
