Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book documents an experiment conducted in Glasgow in 1866 to create social and medical conditions to avert an impending cholera epidemic. The author, a public health official, describes the coordinated efforts of civic leaders, medical volunteers, and religious leaders who sought to improve the city's sanitation, and educate its residents about hygienic practices and disease prevention. The book sheds light on the standards of public health in 19th-century industrial cities, as well as the extraordinary measures undertaken to address the challenges posed by deadly epidemics during that time. Moreover, it provides insights into the evolution of public health practices and the role of community engagement in mitigating the devastating effects of infectious diseases.
