This work was written in 1905 by William John Simpson to advise his readers on how to take precautions against illness and treat illness in tropical countries. It includes chapters on ‘climate and personal precautions’, ‘diet’, ‘drinking-water’ and ‘the dwelling-house’, as well as specific chapters targeting problems such as snake-bite, malaria, cholera and other tropical diseases.
