Abstract
Henry E. Sigerist (1891-1957), a French philologist and historian of medicine, was the first to show the relationship between medical practice and social conditions and to approach it as an aspect of the history of civilization. The following is one of the lectures he gave at the University of London which presents an excellent background of the history of Western public health: J. P.

Se publicó como una disertación de un estudiante llamado Danilevsky, pero sabemos que fue un trabajo del propio Frank.
