Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ground-Itch or Hookworm Disease and Soil Pollution, Vol. 2 If an epidemic disease, such as yellow fever, cholera, or bubonic plague, is introduced into a neighborhood, great public excitement results. The epidemic is something unusual and it becomes the topic of general discussion. Because of the unusual disease, and the exceptional number of deaths in a comparatively short time, the community is frequently led to adopt measures that are not only unscientific and unnecessary, but they are in some cases inhumane, and they not infrequently cause, to the city or State, losses in trade, money, and property. While the epidemic is still fresh in the memory of families whose homes have been invaded by it, there is considerable watchfulness against a possible return of the dread disease. As time goes on, the memory of the excitement, anxiety, and distress diminishes, and too often a self-satisfaction and false sense of security lead the people to be contented with conditions which would not be tolerated immediately following the epidemic. Has it ever occurred to you that the great loss of human life in this country is at present due, not to extensive epidemics, but to preventable diseases that are constantly with us? And not only to preventable diseases, but to easily preventable diseases? For instance, has it ever occurred to you that in our country more people die in one year from tuberculosis (consumption) than have died in 114 years from yellow fever? Has it ever occurred to you that thousands of lives are needlessly sacrificed in this country every year simply because the general public is either ignorant of certain elementary principles of public hygiene or careless about these principles? Think of the fact that over 35, 000 Americans die every year of typhoid fever a preventable disease due to carelessness and filth! It is you upon whom the country depends for training the young. The mind of the adult is largely dependent upon the training during childhood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
