Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a remarkable survey of the physical and mental health of a large cross-section of the American population, offering a unique snapshot of the era immediately before America's entry into World War One. Based on data recorded from over 2.6 million draft cards, the author, a Lieutenant in the Surgeon General's office, provides a detailed analysis of the major diseases, ailments and defects found among the American male population. It offers a fascinating insight into both the social conditions of the time and the evolution of medical knowledge and practice. From the staggering prevalence of tuberculosis, venereal disease, and various developmental disorders, to the surprising absence of mental health, the book presents a sobering picture of the state of the nation's health. Yet the author's detailed analysis of geographical, occupational and racial health disparities offers important context, shedding new light on the evolution of disease and health management in a rapidly changing society. This book is a trove of data and insights for anyone interested in the history of medicine, public health and the evolution of American society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
