Excerpt from Practical Observations on the Hygiene of the Army in India: Including Remarks on the Ventilation and Conservancy of Indian Prisons; With a Chapter on Prison Management The sanitary condition of the British Army in India has of late been the subject of anxious inquiry. It is hoped that the practical suggestions made in this treatise may prove of use at the present time. It has not been my object to enter into any elaborate discussion on the composition of foul air and impure water. Our knowledge of these, particularly the former, is, in some respects, involved in considerable obscurity; and many of the arguments relating to the gases, vapours, and other substances in which are supposed to lie their peculiar poisonous qualities, are purely hypothetical. But, however various the opinions regarding the particular gases or vapours in impure air which generate certain diseases, and however difficult it may be to exactly define its true character, all are agreed as to its generally baneful influence on the human constitution, and the healthful, invigorating effect of living in a pure atmosphere.
