Abstract
THE retirement of Dr. James Niven, the medical officer of health of Manchester, has led to the preparation by him of an intensely interesting account of public health effort in Manchester since 1894, when he first became responsible for the official health work of this city. The story is one which will be read with interest arid admiration, not only by those colleagues in the public health service who for many years have looked to Dr. Niven for light and guidance in the application of science to preventive medicine, but also by many others who know that sanitary progress in this period has been as great as, or even greater than, the progress in life-saving surgery.
Observations on the History of Public Health Effort in Manchester.
By Dr. James Niven. Pp. vii + 230. (Manchester and London: John Hey wood, Ltd., 1923.) n.p.
