William Allen argued that clean water and long life were rights a citizen could demand, not luck to be hoped for. His book frames public health as a civic obligation, from schools and streets to the duties of government. A spirited document of the Progressive-era sanitary movement. See how a generation made health everybody's business.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
