Synopsis
Excerpt from Public Hygiene in America: Being the Centennial Discourse Delivered Before the International Medical Congress, Philadelphia, September, 1876
The Discourse which I delivered before the Inter national Medical Congress, held in Philadelphia, in Sep tember, 1876, was the following, very much abridged. In its present condition, it would have been too long for a public address. In its abridged form, by a vote of the Congress, it has been already printed, and sent to the Governors of these States, to those of the various provinces of the Dominion of Canada, and to the Presi dents of the State Medical Societies of this country.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the evolution of public hygiene and preventive medicine throughout the past century, beginning with the founding of the United States. The author analyzes the slow evolution of these ideas and practices over time, from the days of Benjamin Rush's theories and treatments, through the skepticism of the mid-19th century, to the modern era of state-sponsored preventive medicine. The author also discusses the influence of certain key individuals in the development of public health, such as Lemuel Shattuck and Edwin Chadwick, and the role of the laity inæ å ing these efforts. This book traces the gradual evolution of the idea of state preventive medicine during the past century, and provides a valuable historical perspective on the importance of public health and preventive medicine.
