Health on the Farm: A Manual of Rural Sanitation and Hygiene by H. F. Harris
"Health on the Farm: A Manual of Rural Sanitation and Hygiene" by H. F. Harris is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a practical guide aimed at rural inhabitants, particularly farmers and their families, to improve their health and living conditions through better sanitation and hygiene practices. It highlights the importance of knowledge regarding health in preventing disease and enhancing the quality of life on
the farm. The opening of the book introduces the critical subject of hygiene amidst the backdrop of significant advancements in industry that have not been mirrored in public health. Harris articulates the alarming apathy and ignorance among the population regarding health issues, attributing it to a variety of societal and cultural factors. He emphasizes the need for education and awareness in managing health risks associated with rural living, alluding to the potential dangers presented by one's environment, and sets the stage for discussing specific practices in personal care, sanitation within the household, and broader public health measures that contribute to a healthier farming life.
