Consumption Curable, by Henry Congreve 53880 [Subtitle: Observations on the treatment of Pulmonary Diseases] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/3/8/8/53880 ] [Files: 53880-0.txt; 53880-h.htm] For those wishing to know: This 1839 pamphlet is mainly an advert for the writer's own quack cure (which naturally he praises to the heights and gives no specific details of). However, he also protests against then-current medical opinion that consumption was incurable. It must have been truly terrifying to contact T.B. in those days when it wasn't understood and no cure was known. Within 30 years the Brompton Consumption Hospital would open just a few miles from where this author lived and practised. All the best, David, Cold England

The Sanitary Condition of the Poor, by Benson Baker 53877 [Subtitle: in Relation to Disease, Poverty, and Crime] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/3/8/7/53877 ] [Files: 53877-0.txt; 53877-h.htm] For those wishing to know: (George) Benson Baker was the medical officer for Marylebone in 1866 and this is a distinctly local take on the poverty that was running underneath the otherwise properous district of London. The rich had to have the poor to do the work you see... All the best, David, England, cold and frost on the way
