Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This 1897 book, proceedings from the National Conference of State Boards of Health, presents the insights of a national group of experts on how to prevent the spread of disease, notably consumption (tuberculosis). Their recommendations for improved hygiene and sanitation to reduce contagion were part of a historic transition in medical understanding and public health policy. The context of the book is the 19th-century transition from miasma theory to germ theory in the understanding and treatment of contagious disease, and this book provides important evidence of how contagion theory was changing medical research and public health policies at that time. The book's focus is the benefits of improved public health and the changing science of fighting tuberculosis, and also offers insights into the nature of the debate over contagion.
