Sailors, explorers, and those in besieged cities should supply themselves with an abundance of fresh meat, vegetables, good drinking-water, and clothing. In closed institutions provision should be made for an adequate amount of food containing considerable fat and sufficiently varied, together with systematic ventilation of the rooms.
