Overview

Excerpt from Transactions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, Vol. 2: 1868-1869 Local distinctions or peculiarities of diet may exercise an im portant influence in determining the particular localisation of any epidemic or disease amongst a given class; and to form a proper and accurate estimate of the sanitary condition of any section of the community, it is necessary to give due considera tion to the usual diets (as to nature, quantity, and quality), of the district. Hence an investigation, like the present, amongst the agricultural population, whose sanitary arrangements are universally known to be very deficient, and greatly behind those of England, acquires a Special value of its own; and with the View of making the inquiry as exhaustive as possible, we have appended a number of instances selected from different dis tricts of Scotland, both insular and mainland rural, and from as wide a geographical area as possible - choosing in each instance true typical and characteristic specimens of the classes re presented.
