Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the ways in which tuberculosis was understood by medical professionals in the early 1900s. The author analyzes medical journals, speeches, and case studies from the time period to demonstrate that there was no consensus on causes of infection and treatment. In particular, the book focuses on the role of dairy and meat consumption in spreading tuberculosis, and the contentious nature of the topic at the time.
