Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the National Tuberculosis Association the Anti-Tuberculosis Movement in the United States In preparing the history, I wrote first an introductory part, out lining in a general way the beginning and development of the tuberculosis movement in general and the National Tuberculosis Association in particular, and including a section on the Sixth International Congress and a chapter on the work of the various state associations. The remaining parts of the book deal with the proceedings of the various annual meetings of the Association, the biographies of the officers, lists of their contributions to tuber culosis literature, a description of the war work in tuberculosis of the Surgeon Generals of the U. 5. Army, the U. S. N avy, and the U. S. Public Health Service, a list of books, pamphlets, and leaflets issued by the Association, and lastly, the tuberculosis bibliography of the author. In this way the history has become not a mere chronicle of events alone, but a record of the men who brought these events to pass.
