Report, U. S. D. 1812, New York, April, 1918 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Report, U. S. D. 1812, New York, April, 1918 New York sent no report to the National Historian. What you read in the News letter is entirely the report oi the other states. Only thirty members out of three hundred and sixty-four took the pains to send in any report at all and these could not possibly represent the state. Even the President could not send in a personal re port. She has worked early and late and unfailingly in the service. But she has kept no account. Belonging to over fifty other affairs in all of which she has done her bit, she could not respond here. Several members we found regarded the request as one they did not wish to answer, as what they had done seemed purely personal. New York had already made the request of her members, before the National came, with a similar result. Each Chapter has done wonderfully, but time is not given at this meeting for a State report, much less Chap ter reports. The President therefore, gives you only the summary of the work done by the State and from the State Treasury and 'state Special Fund. Much of this has been put in our State Bulletins. The taking on a motor trip from the Sub Hospital of about three times a week and of three or four each time of wounded or ill of the Navy or Marines, was a gift to the Society from its President. Sent with good cheer, all the comforts we could think of and that were requested from us and also including those to our former Treasurer, Mrs. J. Wells Went worth when She went to France to work in the Red Cross. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The War With the United States


Book Description

Excerpt from The War With the United States: A Chronicle of 1812 International disputes that end in war are not generally questions of absolute right and wrong. They may quite as well be questions of opposing rights. But, when there are rights on both sides, it is usually found that the side which takes the initiative is moved by its national desires as well as by its claims of right.

The Vitamin A Story


Book Description

This book shows how vitamin A deficiency – before the vitamin was known to scientists – affected millions of people throughout history. It is a story of sailors and soldiers, penniless mothers, orphaned infants, and young children left susceptible to blindness and fatal infections. We also glimpse the fortunate ones who, with ample vitamin A-rich food, escaped this elusive stalker. Why were people going blind and dying? To unravel this puzzle, scientists around the world competed over the course of a century. Their persistent efforts led to the identification of vitamin A and its essential role in health. As a primary focus of today’s international public health efforts, vitamin A has saved hundreds of thousands of lives. But, we discover, they could save many more were it not for obstacles erected by political and ideological zealots who lack a historical perspective of the problem. Although exhaustively researched and documented, this book is written for intellectually curious lay readers as well as for specialists. Public health professionals, nutritionists, and historians of science and medicine have much to learn from this book about the cultural and scientific origins of their disciplines. Likewise, readers interested in military and cultural history will learn about the interaction of health, society, science, and politics. The author’s presentation of vitamin A deficiency is likely to become a classic case study of health disparities in the past as well as the present.
