James Low's presentation examined the state of disease prevention and control at the beginning of the 19th century, the degree to which contagious diseases occurred in Kingston throughout the 19th century, and the local community's response to these issues. The presentation demonstrated the level of control that had been achieved at the end of the 19th century, and how it was expressed in Kingston between 1900 and 1920. |
