Synopsis
Excerpt from The Administrative Control of Tuberculosis
Sir Richard Thorne, the Medical Officer to the Local Government Board of Great Britain, in the Harben lecture in 1898 on The Administrative Control of Tuberculosis, after a careful consideration of the various problems pre sented under the English law relating to infectious diseases, pronounced definitely against this proposition, on the ground that the hardship to the individual, which would follow notifi cation and the enforcement of proper regulations, would be so great as to render this measure unjustifiable. In the same year the Academy of Medicine of New York, through a special committee appointed to consider the regulations, which had then been adopted by the Department of Health of New York City regarding notification, declared it as its opinion that the procedure was at that time inexpedient and inadvisable. Every important medical society in New York City then expressed even more strongly than the committee of the Academy the Opinion that the action of the Health Board was unwise and unwarranted.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the fight against tuberculosis, a disease that plagued the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author, a leading medical expert of his time, argues that the scientific knowledge necessary to combat this public health crisis was already available but that societal inertia, outdated practices, and a lack of political will were preventing effective measures from being implemented. He uses the example of New York City, where he served as Chief Medical Officer, to highlight the challenges and opportunities of administrative control. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the debates surrounding public health measures and the complex interplay of scientific knowledge, social attitudes, and political will in shaping the fight against a deadly disease. The author's insights remain relevant today, reminding us of the importance of bold action and a strong public health infrastructure in addressing major public health challenges. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
