Overview

""Observations On The Prevailing Practice Of Supplying Medical Assistance To The Poor"" by Henry Lilley Smith delves into the common practice of 'farming of parishes, ' a system for providing medical care to the impoverished. This work offers a critical examination of this system, highlighting its shortcomings and advocating for innovative solutions. Smith proposes the establishment of parochial medicine chests or infirmaries in agricultural districts to ensure more effective and accessible healthcare for those in need. This historical account sheds light on the social and medical challenges faced by the poor and offers valuable insights into the evolution of public health practices. This book is an important resource for understanding the historical context of healthcare provision and the ongoing struggle to address health disparities in vulnerable populations.
