Delve into the Charles River improvement plan and the fight against malaria, explained in clear, practical terms.
This booklet presents an 1896 report that outlines engineering and public health steps to improve the river and surrounding lands. It ties drainage, land use, and water management to the effort to reduce disease, with notes on the challenges of balancing mill needs and sanitary work.
The document frames a sequence of measures—from draining marshes and cultivating soil to controlling water levels in ponds and river sections. It discusses how digging, excavation, and construction can influence the spread of disease and how communities might prevent outbreaks while continuing progress.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of intermittent fever, also known as malaria, in the area along the Charles River in Massachusetts. The author uses maps, statistics on public lands, and first-hand accounts from medical professionals to demonstrate the spread of the disease. The book suggests that intermittent fever may have been present in the region for far longer than previously documented. The author also discusses early attempts to control the disease and prevent its spread, including methods to regulate the flow of water in the Charles River. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of public health and disease prevention, and a compelling account of the impact of malaria on one American region.
