1935rif. 236921935. Federal venereal disease control bulletin from October 1935 issued by United States Public Health Service on syphilis prevention and state health administration. The opening editorial "Social-Service Work in the Prevention of Syphilis" argues that syphilis should be treated as a communicable disease requiring investigation of infection sources cooperation among cities and states and trained public health personnel. Published before the expanded national antisyphilis campaign of the late 1930s the issue records the administrative and diagnostic framework being assembled to address the health crisis.

Issued by the United States Public Health Service under Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming with Vonderlehr identified as Assistant Surgeon General and Chief of the Division of Venereal Diseases.

The editorial cites case tracing in Nancy Rotterdam New York and Virginia and calls for social workers to locate sources of infection and induce treatment while also revealing the period's moral and gender assumptions in its discussion of "frequently girls" prostitution delinquent minors and compulsory intervention. Subsequent sections summarize international reports on late syphilis lymphogranuloma inguinale salvarsan allergy calcium metabolism gonococcal polymorphism neurosyphilis congenital syphilis spinal fluid testing and the Wassermann reaction. The treatment section documents malaria therapy tryparsamide mercury injections arsenical poisoning diathermy and other methods employed before penicillin transformed the management of syphilis in the 1940s.

1919rif. 189681919. Survey of Relief to Widows and Children Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty. Ministry of Health. 186 pages. London: His Majesty's Stationary Office 1919. Measures 9.5" x 6." Issued under the rule of George V a champion of welfare reform and social work. A landmark government report on post-World War I welfare policy documenting the scope administration and social implications of public assistance to widows and dependent children in Britain. Issued by the Ministry of Health and presented to Parliament in the immediate aftermath of the war this 186-page survey represents one of the earliest comprehensive attempts to analyze the treatment and conditions of war widows and impoverished families under the Poor Law system and other charitable schemes. The report is presented in dense statistical tables and detailed narrative assessments distinguishing between rural and urban jurisdictions and evaluating the differential treatment of illegitimate children and the moral assumptions underlying state relief. As stated in the Survey's prefatory note the decision to publish a report on the well-being of windows and children arose after a 1914 House of Lords case in which a poor mother was convicted of child cruelty. The woman whose earnings were 10 shillings a week locked her children in a rented room "where they were found in an indescribable state and in a mental condition bordering upon idiocy." The mother said she did not want to seek governmental assistance for fear that her family would be separated. This resulting survey examines the efficacy of Britain's social safety net as well as that of the United States. It contains case studies investigations and inspections. Staplebound in brown wrappers. Some rust and foxing around staples. Front wrap bears royal seal and a stamp. Interesting and in very good condition. unknown books

The Matron & her husband have the most benevolent countenances that we had ever beheld." Light scattered foxing throughout else unmarked. An account of the groundbreaking work of the Tuke family and the Society of Friends for improving the care and dignity with which mental illness was treated. At a time when the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness was often inhumane William Tuke stepped forward in 1796 to found The Retreat. Its goal was to create safe pleasing and dignified conditions for those being institutionalized; and from its inauguration The Retreat kept its doors open to public visitors who may want to witness and document the conditions of its campus and patients. In the present work William's grandson Samuel Tuke publicizes the institution's "internal economy of management" as well as its "mild system of treatment." Transparency is key to continued progress Tuke asserts; and he wants the Retreat's successes to assist in further advances in the field. "The interests of humanity and science alike call upon us to communicate freely the discoveries we make or the failures which happen to us.If persons engaged in the management of the insane were more generally to publish the results of their observation we might reasonably hope that the causes of this obscure and affecting disorder would receive some illustration." While William Tuke's work remains revolutionary in improving method of caring for the mentally ill Samuel Tuke's book "helped popularise the approach.to use the moral treatment method for restoring self-esteem and self-control in individuals" suffering from a range of ailments Quaker World. As awareness of the model spread so too did institutions build on its principles with hospitals emerging in the UK and US. W. Alexander unknown books
