Doctors, Vaccination, And Utilitarianism (1873)

By Henry Strickland Constable

Book Overview

""Doctors, Vaccination, and Utilitarianism"" is a book written by Henry Strickland Constable and published in 1873. The book discusses the controversial topic of vaccination and its relationship with utilitarianism, a philosophical theory that emphasizes the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Constable argues that vaccination is a necessary public health measure that benefits society as a whole, and that doctors have a duty to promote vaccination to their patients. He also critiques the anti-vaccination movement, which was gaining popularity at the time, and argues that their objections to vaccination are misguided and based on faulty reasoning. The book provides a historical perspective on the development of vaccination and its role in public health, and presents a compelling argument for the importance of vaccination in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
