Tobacco Smoking Patterns in the United States (Public Health Monograph No. 45)
Publisher: Washington, D. C: U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 1956..
Wraps. 26 X 20 cm. Good/No dj. Side-stapled in green & cream wraps, viii, 111, [1] pp, 23 figures, 59 tables. Front cover has a 3 cm repaired tear at head of spine, 1 cm tear to top edge, corners curled. Rubber-stamped signature of epidemiologist Leonard M. Schuman on front cover. This copy was the source of a figure in one of Dr. Schuman's papers, as evidenced by a sheet taped below the figure and covering the text of page 109 with an attribution typed at the top of the sheet. Contains the results of the largest survey of American smoking habits undertaken up to the date of publication; the survey was included in the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey for February 1955. At the time, suspicions of a link between smoking and lung cancer were widespread, but epidmiological results were based upon relatively small case-control studies and prospective studies of limited populations. This publication provided a basis for epidemiological analysis of smoking-related illness in the overall U, S. population. Shipping weight 2 lbs. (International 1 lb., 4 oz.)

Natenberg, Maurice
The Cancer Blackout: A History of Denied and Suppressed Remedies
Publisher: Regent House, 1959 Chicago, IL.
Book. Book condition: Good. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall Introduction by Robert Barnard, M.D. "Cancer is enshrouded in many mysteries. There are not only the enigmas of pathological processes which make the problem of cure so baffling but also the mysteries of human motivations in cancer controversies. The hidden purposes and machinations which have e3upted so often into bitter disputes, investigations, violent conflicts, accusations of fraud, quackery and deliberate falsification of records, have never been adequately studied. That too is an integral component of the cancer problem. This work is devoted chiefly to the history of the disputes in cancer which have led to the suppression of important facts and the dissemination of distorted information to the public. Because of the powerful undercurrent of emotions, cancerology is probably the most controversial field in medicine and surgery. Facts which conflicted with the interests and opinions of the dictators of the trend, have been continuously subjected to a blackout. The work of many sincere and capable men has been unfairly discredited and ridiculed.." xxiii + 206 pages with index. Book is in GOOD condition; expected wear for a book of this age and genre. Paper wrappers.
