Excerpt from Filth-Diseases and Their Prevention It would be impossible, without injury to its general effect, to remove from the body of this essay the various references to the authority under which Mr. Simon acted, also those to certain papers and certain laws, some of which may seem at first sight irrelevant for us in America. It has therefore been deemed wise to print the paper almost exactly as it was originally offered, viz., as a Preface to a volume of admirable reports made by Government Inspectors upon several epidemics which had occurred in various parts of England (vide Reports of the Medical Officer of the Privy Council and Local Government Board, New Series, No. 2). To that volume, every reader who desires to see how far England is in advance of us in thorough sanitary work, is respectfully referred. In our Appendix will be found a few of the summaries given by Mr. Simon, as illustrations of the origin of various epidemics.

"The Nation has lost sight of its public health goals and has allowed the system of public health to fall into 'disarray'," from The Future of Public Health. This startling book contains proposals for ensuring that public health service programs are efficient and effective enough to deal not only with the topics of today, but also with those of tomorrow. In addition, the authors make recommendations for core functions in public health assessment, policy development, and service assurances, and identify the level of government--federal, state, and local--at which these functions would best be handled.

Victorian Britain was the world's industrial powerhouse. Its factories, mills and foundries supplied a global demand for manufactured goods. As Britain changed from an agricultural to an industrial ecomony, people swarmed into the towns and cities where the work was; by the end of Queen Victoria's reign, almost 80 per cent of the population was urban. Overcrowding and filthy living conditions, though, were a recipe for disaster, and diseases such as cholera, typhoid, scarlet fever, smallpox and puerperal (childbed) fever were a part of everyday life for (usually poor) town-and city-dwellers. However, thanks to a dedicated band of doctors, nurses, midwives, scientists, engineers and social reformers, by the time the Victorian era became the Edwardian, they were almost eradicated, and no longer a constant source of fear. Stephen Halliday tells the fascinating story of how these individuals fought opposition from politicians, taxpayers and often their own colleagues to overcome these diseases and make the country a safer place for everyone to live.
