Health on the Farm: A Manual of Rural Sanitation and Hygiene
by H. F. (Henry Fauntleroy) Harris
About the author
Born in 1867 and dying in 1926, H. F. Harris wrote as both a doctor and an educator. Library and catalog records identify him as Henry Fauntleroy Harris, and contemporary book sources connect him with works including Health on the Farm: A Manual of Rural Sanitation and Hygiene and Pellagra.
His writing reflects a clear public-health mission. Rather than focusing only on specialists, he also produced practical guidance for general readers, especially on sanitation, hygiene, and disease prevention in rural life. That makes his books feel both medical and strongly social in purpose.
Some book references describe him as an American physician and link him with public-health work in Georgia. A full portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources I was able to retrieve, so no profile image is included here.
