Synopsis

This book analyzes the causes of invalidity among individuals who received pensions under the Invalid and Old-Age Pensions Act of 1910-1909, examining medical certificates from 1910 to 1915. The results provide a unique insight into the distribution of serious illnesses and disabilities prevalent in Australia during that period. The author classifies and discusses the major causes of invalidity, including rheumatism, phthisis, heart disorders, epilepsy, congenital disabilities, and syphilis. The book highlights the significant impact of preventable diseases, particularly tuberculosis and syphilis, as well as the potential for early medical intervention to reduce future cases of disability. The insights gained from this analysis underscore the importance of addressing these health issues to improve the overall well-being of the population.
