The First Laws of Health. A Health Reader for Indian Schools

in preserving their bodily and mental health and in avoiding the common preventible infectious diseases which carry off so many lives in India. The names of the authors of the manual and of the foreword are a guarantee of the accuracy of the information imparted. As Sir Leonard Rogers states in his foreword, to impart such information successfully is no easy matter, but demands in addition to knowledge literary skill, and an intimate acquaintance with the habits and customs of the people. Lieutenant-Colonel Megaw possesses these attainments and has used them with happy success in writing this primer for use in Indian schools. Not only children, but youths and grown up men and women, will benefit by the knowledge and advice imparted and we would wish to see a copy in every Indian household. The book is of a handy size, the printing excellent and the illustrations are numerous, apt and well reproduced.
