Paperback. Etat : New. New and Unread. From the days of its colonial glory, Philadelphia has had an important place in the history of American health care. In Pictures of Health, Janet Golden and Charles E. Rosenberg have assembled a series of photographs which illuminate that history. The authors focus on such themes as the delivery of health care, the development of hospitals, the training of doctors and nurses, and community health. The pictures are visually arresting, unique, compelling, and sometimes even disturbing: the dissecting room of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in the 1880s; Dr. D. Hayes Agnew of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine performing a leg operation under the watchful eyes of a hundred medical students (this 1886 photograph may have been the model for Thomas Eakins's famous painting); a "homelike" delivery room, advertising that "Every facility of modern obstetrical and gynecological science is available for the new mother and her baby," when the picture itself shows nothing at all homelike; patients at the Philadelphia Hospital for Mental Diseases, better known as the infamous Byberry; an 1894 operation at Pennsylvania Hospital with the surgeons wearing neither masks nor gloves; horse-drawn ambulances; the Bureau of Health Rat Receiving Station, offering a bounty of five cents for live rats and two cents for dead ones; Philadelphia trolleys emblazoned with oversized posters proclaiming "Spit Spreads Death," part of the effort by the Philadelphia Board of Health to curb the 1918 outbreak of influenza; and over a hundred more photographs depicting the growth and development of Philadelphia medicine and its impact on the community. Pictures of Health makes a vital contribution to the field of American medical history, and it will be of interest to anyone involved in medical, social, or urban history. 197 pages.

"In some ways disease does not exist until we have agreed that it does, by perceiving, naming, and responding to it, " writes Charles E. Rosenberg in his introduction to this stimulating set of essays. Disease is both a biological event and a social phenomenon. Patient, doctor, family, and social institutions-including employers, government, and insurance companies-all find ways to frame the biological event in terms that make sense to them and serve their own ends. Many diseases discussed here-endstage renal disease, rheumatic fever, parasitic infectious diseases, coronary thrombosis-came to be defined, redefined, and renamed over the course of several centuries. As these essays show, the concept of disease has also been used to frame culturally resonant behaviors: suicide, homosexuality, anorexia nervosa, chronic fatigue syndrome. Disease is also framed by public policy, as the cases of industrial disability and of forensic psychiatry demonstrate. Medical institutions, as managers of people with disease, come to have vested interests in diagnoses, as the histories of facilities to treat tuberculosis or epilepsy reveal." Index.

Medical institutions, as managers of people with disease, come to have vested interests in diagnoses, as the histories of facilities to treat tuberculosis or epilepsy reveal. Ultimately, the existence and conquest of disease serves to frame a society's sense of its own "healthiness" and to give direction to social reforms.   The contributors include Steven J. Peitzman, Peter C. English, John Farley, Christopher Lawrence, Michael MacDonald, Bert Hansen, Joan Jacobs Brumberg, Robert A. Aronowitz, Gerald Markowitz, David Rosner, Janet A. Tighe, Barbara Bates, Ellen Dwyer, John M. Eyler, and Elizabeth Fee. For any student of disease and society, this book is essential, compelling reading.
