Rev. Jacob Voorsanger. DID,. lectured
last evening at the Standard Theater on
Bush street 1t was the third in course Of
free popular scientific discourses, given
under the auspices of the San Francisco
Polytechnic, and the attendance was large.
Dr. Vo0rsanger took for his subject THE
Hygiene Of the Scriptures and the Rabbis."
He said that before science had accom-
plished anything worth speaking of hygiene
had well-defned principles and objects, and
grew rs an adjunct to the law of Moses.
He sought to prove that n good knowledge
of hygiene was necessary in the develop
ment of the perfect man, and that the Mo-
sale law had always sought to instill the
leading principles of this branch of science
in the minds of its adherents.
