(Excerpt from The Administrative Control of Tuberculosis ...)
Excerpt from The Administrative Control of Tuberculosis Sir Richard Thorne, the Medical Officer to the Local Government Board of Great Britain, in the Harben lecture in 1898 on The Administrative Control of Tuberculosis, after a careful consideration of the various problems pre sented under the English law relating to infectious diseases, pronounced definitely against this proposition, on the ground that the hardship to the individual, which would follow notifi cation and the enforcement of proper regulations, would be so great as to render this measure unjustifiable. In the same year the Academy of Medicine of New York, through a special committee appointed to consider the regulations, which had then been adopted by the Department of Health of New York City regarding notification, declared it as its opinion that the procedure was at that time inexpedient and inadvisable. Every important medical society in New York City then expressed even more strongly than the committee of the Academy the Opinion that the action of the Health Board was unwise and unwarranted.
