Scope and Contents

Anthrax infection and the need for legislation to protect tanners, shoe factory employees, and others against this disease attracted grow-ing interest. A comprehensive study in this area was begun. Lack of money limited efforts to investigate other industrial diseases, and John Andrews approached John D. Rockefeller unsuccessfully in an attempt to obtain funds.
