Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an early 20th-century examination of streetcar service and public health in the bustling metropolis of Chicago. It reports on conditions in the city's streetcars, which at the time were often overcrowded, poorly ventilated, and lacking in basic sanitation measures, and discusses the resulting health risks to passengers. The author, a medical professional, highlights the dangers of exposure to airborne diseases, particularly tuberculosis, and calls for improved ventilation and disinfection practices on public transportation. The book also touches on broader issues of urban planning, transportation policy, and the role of public health in shaping the lives of city dwellers. It provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of urban living in the early 20th century and remains a relevant resource for understanding the history of public health and transportation policy in American cities.
