The Health of the City
Description:... Excerpt from The Health of the City
The ten descriptive chapters of this volume, eight of which have been published in a more or less abbreviated form in the "Atlantic Monthly," represent four years of personal investigation of the health problems of the city-dweller. During that period many other duties have demanded attention, but scarcely a week has passed without some advance in the work on city health. And each advance has shown more clearly the complexity of the municipal problems involved, each has defined more sharply the fact that only through the work of many men advancing along many lines can the questions at issue be fully treated. I make no claim to comprehensive treatment here.
