Principles of Public Health A Simple Text Book on Hygiene, Presenting the Principles Fundamental to the Conservation of Individual and Community Health

"Principles of Public Health" by Thomas Dyer Tuttle is an early 20th-century educational book that teaches about hygiene and the main ideas for keeping people and communities healthy. It looks closely at health, explaining how to avoid getting sick, encouraging healthy habits, and correcting wrong ideas about health and hygiene. The book starts by talking about the constant fight against disease throughout history and points out the big steps forward in public health that have come from good hygiene and cleanliness. Tuttle explains that germs are the main things that make people sick and that getting healthier is very important for both personal and community well-being. He gives three important ways to fight these germs: staying healthy, stopping germs from getting into the body, and reducing the number of germs in the environment, which are designed to help readers, especially students, to be involved in protecting their own health and the health of others.
