Disease in Milk: The Remedy, Pasteurization; The Life Work of Nathan Straus

Description: This book, a collection of articles, addresses, and letters by Nathan Straus, a leading philanthropist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, chronicles the establishment of pasteurization in New York City. Straus believed that the high infant mortality rate at the time was due to impure milk and dedicated his life to making clean, pasteurized milk available to the city's poor. The book includes historical context on the milk industry, pasteurization, and infant mortality. The author provides numerous letters from prominent medical professionals at the time, including testimonials from Abraham Jacobi, William H. Park, and others, all attesting to the effectiveness and importance of Straus' pasteurization efforts.
