Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the proceedings of the Eighth Annual Meeting of the American Public Health Association, held in New Orleans, December 1880. The meeting was significant as the nation was still emerging from a series of devastating and deadly epidemics and pandemics, including yellow fever and smallpox, as well as a series of outbreaks and scares of cholera, typhus, and other infectious diseases. The 19th century saw the development of germ theory and an understanding of the role of sanitation in public health. However, these ideas were new and had yet to become widespread. The proceedings of this conference reflect these changes in medical understanding and the broader issues of public health and sanitation. Topics include discussions on quarantine practices, measures to control infectious diseases, and the need for improved sanitation in American cities and towns. The book also includes specific recommendations on sanitary works as well as reports from the various state medical societies. This book is an important resource for students of 19th-century medicine, public health, and epidemiology. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
