Behind the official language of this municipal health officer report lies a vivid portrait of a growing Pacific metropolis confronting disease, overcrowding and rapid change. Every figure hides a life. The Annual Report of J. L. Meares, M.D., Health Officer of the City and County of San Francisco for the fiscal year ending 30 June 1887 is a meticulous historic public health report, setting out the concerns, priorities and practical achievements of the San Francisco Health Department at the height of Gilded Age San Francisco. Drawn from contemporary records and nineteenth century medical statistics, this facsimile historical document edition records patterns of urban sanitation and disease, epidemic and mortality statistics and the day-to-day administration of 19th century California health policy. As a primary source for researchers in urban history, epidemiology and the evolution of United States public health, it serves as an indispensable historical research reference book and a compelling snapshot of a city balancing modern science with political and social realities. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Scholars, students, local historians and general readers curious about San Francisco's past gain direct access to the voice of its chief medical officer, while collectors of official documents and classic non-fiction benefit from a finely presented record that doubles as both study tool and enduring artefact of civic memory.
