How useful is Source C for a historian studying public health problems in industrial Britain? [8 marks]Disease is caused by bad air and these diseases are common all over the country. The bad air is caused by rotting animals and vegetables, by damp and filth, and by overcrowded houses. When these things are improved, the death rate goes down. A medical officer should be appointed to take charge in each district. More people were killed by filth and bad ventilation each year than are killed by wars. People cannot develop clean habits until they have clean water. The poor cost us too much; the rich pay to feed and clothe orphans. Money would be saved if fewer parents died of disease. A healthier workforce would work harder too. The poor conditions produce a population that doesn’t live long, is always short of money, and is brutal that rough.
