Press Opinions.
"The language used is quite simple, and can be understood by any intelligent person engaged in the trades dealt with."—The Clarion.
"This is an appalling book. It shows that there is scarcely a trade or occupation that has not a risk or a danger attached to it."—Local Government Journal.
"Dr. Parry has not only pointed out the 'risks and dangers of various occupations': he has suggested means for their prevention. The work is primarily a practical one."—Colliery Manager.
"This is a most useful book which should be in the hands of all employers of labour, foremen, and intelligent workmen, and is one of great utility to sanitary inspectors, and even on occasion to medical men."—Health.
"The writer has succeeded in collecting a large amount of information, and though one could wish he had presented it in a rather more attractive style, he has certainly condensed it into a very small space."—Physician and Surgeon.
"The little book before us is one which will be found exceedingly useful to manufacturers and even factory inspectors.... No attempt is made to show how diseases when originated are to be cured, but, acting on the sound principle that prevention is better than cure, means are stated how to avoid the harm."—Bristol Mercury.
"The author has endeavoured to treat the question in simple rather than in technical language, and he has lucidly catalogued the most dangerous trades and their symptoms, and in each case specified the best methods of dealing with them.... To those for whom the volume is specially designed, Dr. Parry's treatise should be a useful handbook."—Sheffield Independent.
"A very useful manual for employers of labour, foremen, intelligent workmen, and, in spite of the author's modesty, for medical men. We have the peculiar risks and dangers of all the dangerous trades carefully described; the mode of action of various chemicals, etc., used in different industries given, with full directions how to minimise unavoidable risks."—Leeds Mercury.
"Most of the trades in the country are alluded to, and upon those that are dangerous the necessary attention is bestowed, and means are recommended whereby danger may be prevented or lessened. The author has evidently studied his subject with care, and has made full use of the experience of others who have had a larger insight into the industries of the country."—British Medical Journal.
"The work is well written and printed, and its verbiage such as to be comprehensible to the workman no less than to the master. The careful and general perusal of a work of this nature cannot but be attended by beneficial results of a far-reaching nature, and we therefore heartily recommend the book to our readers. Medical Officers of Health and Sanitary Inspectors especially should find the work of great interest."—Sanitary Record.
"It is written in simple language, and its instructions can be easily followed.... There are some employers, at any rate, who are more ignorant of, than indifferent to, the slow murder of their workpeople, and if the facts so succinctly set forth in this book were brought to their notice, and if the Trade Unions made it their business to insist on the observance of the better conditions Dr. Parry described, much might be done to lessen the workman's peril."—Weekly Times and Echo.
