Summary
"From 1893 until 1905 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania required local municipalities to record vital statistics such as births, deaths, and cases of infectious disease. The record for the community of Columbia, Lancaster County, Pa., survives in the county archives and is a valuable record of one community's struggle to contain diseases that are seldom encountered today: smallpox, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, diphtheria, and tuberculosis. Within these pages, one can learn about the diseases and the treatments available in that time period and meet the physicians and community leaders who were in the front lines of the sturggle."
