How Contagion and Infection are Spread, Through the Sweating System in the Tailoring Trade (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781022010116)

This groundbreaking study provides a detailed account of how tuberculosis and other infectious diseases were spread through the sweating system in the tailoring trade during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
