| Summary | "Measles" by W. C. Rucker is a scientific publication released as a supplement to the Public Health Reports in the early 20th century, around the years 1913 and updated in 1916. The book focuses on the public health implications of measles, including its symptoms, complications, and mortality rates among children, particularly highlighting the severe risks it poses to young populations during epidemics. The text provides a comprehensive overview of measles, detailing how it is transmitted, typical symptoms, and possible complications such as broncho-pneumonia. Rucker discusses the historical context of measles outbreaks and the substantial impact of the disease on communities, especially in densely populated or unsanitary conditions. Through anecdotal evidence and statistical data from previous epidemics, the book emphasizes the need for preventive measures against the spread of measles and the responsibility of parents and public health officials to protect children by limiting their exposure to the disease.
