Abstract
IN this volume, Sir Arthur Newsholme records his recollections, mainly limited to occurrences bearing on public health, from childhood down to the year 1908, when he was appointed to the Local Government Board, as it then was. This period, covering the time when he was in general practice and later medical officer of health of Brighton, was one of great development in preventive medicine, for it witnessed the growth of the science of bacteriology from the beginning, the institution of important administrative measures in public health, and profound changes in epidemiological theory.
