Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee of the Senate of the United States: On the Sickness and Mortality on Board Emigrant Ships Under a full sense of the importance of the matter submitted to their consideration, as well as with reference to the business interests of the country as to the cause of humanity at large, the committee have spared no trouble in collecting information from such sources as appeared to them best entitled to their confidence and respect. With a view to the procuration of accurate data upon which to form a correct judgment in the premises, a circular was prepared containing fourteen questions relative to the police and sanitary management of emigrant snips, to which specific answers, based as far as practicable upon experience, were requested. Copies of this circular were addressed and sent to members of the medical profession, (whose opportunities of forming correct opinions on the subject had been furnished by experience, and therefore arc entitled to consideration,) merchants, navigators who had been engaged in the passenger trade, persons connected with the collection of the customs, presidents of benevolent societies for the relief of indigent emigrants, and others throughout the country and in the cities at which the landing of foreign passengers has chiefly taken place. The answers which have been received to these communications are very numerous, and, in many instances, drawn up with great ability, particularly those from physicians, who, referring to the diseases which have caused the suffering on board of passenger ships, have very properly deemed it necessary to treat of their nature and the causes which have given rise to them.
