About this work

Description

Subjects covered are: general health of the nation including Cantlie's views on the causes of physical degeneration of the English, health benefits of kilts for boys and men, personal and domestic hygiene and 'physical jerks' for elderly men; tropical diseases and medicine; first aid, ambulance dogs and the Royal Army Medical Corps (Volunteers) London companies; Sun Yat Sen's stay in London in 1905, when he was wanted by the Chinese government as a dangerous revolutionary; devastation of the German post-War economy.
