Woods Hutchinson called the body a hard-worked fortress and named the diseases we need never suffer. His accessible book argues that consumption and much else could be prevented by cleaner living and public will. A landmark of the popular public-health movement, written to persuade the general reader. Learn which old scourges earlier reformers believed were beatable.

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.
