Description

Without Samuel J. Crumbine and his Kansas Department of Health, diseases festering in water sources, food and the common towel would have caused thousands of deaths in america. Crumbine and his associates paved the way to better remedy of tuberculosis. This well-written account leads the reader down a path of the most important medical advancements.

Samuel J. Crumbine used to be a medical educator without peer, who used his department of health to disseminate the recent developments he and others all over the world were achieving in public health. He found it necessary to propagandize a skeptical and every now and then hostile public to accept the germ theory, the concept that invisible microbes were making them ill and that they must clean up their environment and their food and water sources. He had to convince the public to rely on modern medicine, not snake oil and other miracle cures for a healthy living. R. Alton Lee’s historical account might offer insight in today’s threat of Bird Flu and other latest medical threats for any reader.
