In fine condition. xi, 143 pp. *** FIRST EDITION; a second was published Lisbon, 1836. Silva covers the physical and emotional needs of the soldier or sailor, whether on land or sea, beginning with comments on the proper age and mental condition for entry into military service, and moving on to practical information for maintaining the health of military personnel. For example, he discusses the best sources of fresh drinking water: most desirable is water from rivers with clear water, abundant fish, sandy banks, and plant life; to be avoided is standing water, or subterranean waters of calcareous sources. He also lists chemicals that will rid fresh meat of various parasites. The final chapter is an interesting commentary on military hospitals.Silva (d. 1835) studied medicine at Coimbra. He was honorary physician to the King of Portugal and an early advocate of vaccination in Portugal.*** Innocêncio IV, 158: calling for only 138 pp. Lisbon, Faculdade de Medicina, Catálogo da colecção portuguesa I, 283: collating as our copy.
