About This Item
Atlanta, Georgia: Jas. P. Harrison & Co, 1879. Very good; some light dust soiling, damp staining.. A passionately penned pamphlet advocating for swift quarantine measures to be enacted during an outbreak of yellow fever, and calling for other physicians to share research with colleagues: "... it behooves every medical man South, who has had personal experience in the treatment of yellow fever ... to bring forward whatever information he may have gathered, to instruct the community and enlighten the masses on the true nature of the pestilence, and to express fearlessly his views as to the best and surest means of prevention" (p. 3). Includes lengthy discussions of the role of the government and politicians in ensuring public health, with uncomfortable parallels to the present day. 8 copies in OCLC (Jan 2022).
Dr. J. C. LeHardy practiced medicine in Savannah, Georgia, and advocated quarantining as a method of curbing the spread of yellow fever and similar diseases.
