Excerpt from The Conquest of Consumption: An Economic Study
The main object of the first edition of this book was to make out a case for inquiry. With this object in view, the authors attempted to give a short resume of the knowledge we have to-day of the cause and prevention of consumption. They were conscious of many defects which were almost unavoidable if such a vast mass of knowledge was to be compressed into so small a compass. They owe their best thanks to their friends and correspondents who have pointed out errors or ambiguities. In this edition an effort has been made to avoid such faults. They are also gratified with the reception given to their outline of an efficient campaign.
