Excerpt from Public Hygiene in America: Being the Centennial Discourse Delivered Before the International Medical Congress, Philadelphia, September, 1876 The Discourse which I delivered before the Inter national Medical Congress, held in Philadelphia, in Sep tember, 1876, was the following, very much abridged. In its present condition, it would have been too long for a public address. In its abridged form, by a vote of the Congress, it has been already printed, and sent to the Governors of these States, to those of the various provinces of the Dominion of Canada, and to the Presi dents of the State Medical Societies of this country.

Henry Ingersoll Bowditch was born on August 9, 1808 in Salem, Massachussets, the son of a mathematician Nathaniel Bowditch.
Bowditch graduated from Harvard College in 1828, earned his medical degree there in 1832, and then studied in Paris for 2 years with leading physicians, such as P. G. A. Louis.
Bowditch was in England in 1833, when William Wilberforce died. Wilberforce's antislavery writings had impressed him, and when Bowditch returned to Boston, he became a militant abolitionist. When slave masters came to Massachusetts to retrieve fugitive slaves, Bowditch, who belonged to a secretly trained group of abolitionists, joined his friends to protect the runaways. He was proud of his friendship with black leader Frederick Douglass.
From 1838 until his death Bowditch was a physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1846 he published The Young Stethoscopist, dealing with diseases of the chest. Five years later he advocated paracentesis (puncturing of the pleural cavity to drain liquid deposits) and showed how the technique had become less complex and painful. Tuberculosis was also one of his lifelong concerns, and he made detailed studies of its etiology, publishing his conclusions in Consumption in New England; or Locality One of Its Chief Causes (1862).
When his son Nathaniel died on a Civil War battlefield from the lack of care, Bowditch wrote a pamphlet advocating an ambulance system to care for the wounded. From 1859 to 1867 he was Jackson professor of clinical medicine at Harvard and then began his great service in behalf of public health. He was a fellow of the American Academy and president of the American Medical Association in 1877. He died on January 14, 1892.
