England's New Poor Law (1834) transformed medical care in ways that have long been overlooked, or denigrated, by historians. Sickness in the Workhouse challenges these assumptions through a close examination of two urban workhouses in the west midlands from the passage of the New Poor Law until the outbreak of World War I.By closely analyzing the day-to-day practice of workhouse doctors and nurses, author Alistair Ritch questions the idea that medical care was invariably of poor quality and brought little benefit to patients. Medical staff in the workhouses labored under severe restraints and grappled with the immense health issues facing their patients. Sickness in the Workhouse brings to life this hidden group of workhouse staff and highlights their significance within the local health economy. Among other things, as the author notes, workhouses needed to provide medical care for nonpaupers, such as institutional isolation facilities for those with infectious diseases. This groundbreaking books highlights these doctors and nurses in order to illuminate our understanding of this significant yet little understood area of poor law history.ALISTAIR RITCH was consultant physician in geriatric medicine, City Hospital, Birmingham, and senior clinical lecturer, University of Birmingham, UK, and is currently honorary research fellow, History of Medicine Unit, University of Birmingham, UK.

Rogers (1821-89) was an English physician and campaigning medical officer who for 40 years promoted reform in the administration of the Poor Law. After setting up a medical practice in London in 1844 he became a supernumerary medical officer at St. Anne's, Soho in 1855 on the occasion of an outbreak of cholera, and the following year was appointed medical officer to the Strand workhouse. Conditions there were very bad and Rogers had the workhouse master, George Catch, removed. In 1861 he came before the select committee of the House of Commons speaking on the supply of drugs to workhouse infirmaries and his suggestions were adopted. Notably, his evidence was largely responsible for bringing about the Metropolitan Poor Law Act of 1867. However, his zeal for reform resulted in the president of the poor-law board removing him from office in1868, and he suffered similar consequences in 1872 as medical officer of the Westminster Infirmary but in this instance he was reinstated after his suspension. Rogers founded and was for some time president of the Poor Law Medical Officers Association and also helped to establish the Association for the Improvement of the Infirmaries of London Workhouses. His Reminiscences were published posthumously in 1889, the year of his death, edited and with a preface by his younger brother Thorold, an economist, historian and Liberal politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1880-86 and who was recognised as an advocate of social justice.

Excerpt from Joseph Rogers, M.D: Reminiscences of a Workhouse Medical Officer My late brother was the descendant of three gene rations of medical practitioners, who, from the first quarter of the eighteenth century, plied the art of tending and healing the sick down to the last quarter of the nineteenth, for his elder brother relinquished his practice only about ten or a dozen years ago. And this was in the same locality. But soon after my brother Joseph was qualified he went to London and very speedily after he came to London he began the labour of his life - the reform, namely, of the medical relief accorded to the indigent poor. To this he surrendered the prospects of professional success and fortune - prospects which his professional abilities might have made certainties; for this he sacrificed popularity, health, and all that a vigorous constitution might have assured to him. He literally wore him self out by his labours. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
